This quirky 1980s sci-fi series boldly follows computer-generated personality Max Headroom into the near future, where he and cohorts Edison Carter and Theora Jones confront lethal TV ads and other perils of a brave new (media-saturated) world. As self-serving techno-elites gain more and more control over society, Max and others -- including off-the-grid citizens called "blanks" -- find ways to resist their nefarious power.
