Particularly notable for its subtle and overt corporate jamming, Max Headroom was unique and wildly popular in its day but, for reasons unknown to me and not yet researched, had its life cut short.
I think I give my high personal rating because of its strong influences on my perceptions of the world. Perhaps it would not hold up today, but I’ll note that on my eventual re-watch.
- This was not released on Blu-Ray.
- TODO – The movie Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future, which led into The Max Headroom Show. Both are somewhat separate/different than this series.
- Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future was reworked into the pilot episode of this show.

TODO – Is this out in blu-ray?

A girl, engineered to be a killer, flees her keepers, but as a woman she pursues general vigilante justice by helping a crime-fighting genius.
This series hits the ground running, featuring not just a stupifyingly hot Jessica Alba, but a great world, plot and everything else.
However, like too many series’, Dark Angel suicide-bombs like it’s been lit on fire and is heading for a volcano to end it’s suffering. Not only is the second season bad enough to end the show, it’s bad enough to not watch, even and especially for people who like the first.

Brave is a web browser that uses components from Chrome to build a more security-conscious browser which also has an alternate advertising mechanism with revenue sharing.
Like Chrome, it’s missing fundamental things.

Abandoned – As of 2022-02-18 – The project was to be reworked to be based on Firefox instead of Brave, but that didn’t seem to get off the ground.

A blog/article website which uses the Steem cryptocurrency.
Money comes from nowhere, and the entire thing is run by bots who game the system. This isn’t just individual items and their income, but manipulating the entire “market” for large weekly buy-sell payouts.

A cop from an authoritarian future is caught up in a daring time-travel jail-break, to become stranded in present-day Vancouver Canada.
Overall this is adequate, but with several plot points and character traits which are difficult to believe. The biggest problem I have is the various brushes against citizen-terrorism apologetics. My takeaway is that this show is “safe”, with some edginess fabricated for the kids.
