Max Headroom
Stuttering CGI-ish host and cyberpunk TV news — 20 minutes into the future.
Production studio
Chrysalis Group PLC
Chrysalis Group PLC is twenty minutes into the future: a stuttering computer-generated host and TV news as authoritarian weather. Max Headroom is the TV Flash title — cyberpunk chrome on ABC of all places, Matt Frewer's Max becoming a Coke pitchman who sometimes outshone the series. Brief, glossy, still the weirdest primetime warning about the box.
Max Headroom is twenty minutes into the future, stutter and all. A computer-generated host, TV-news as authoritarian weather, cyberpunk chrome on ABC of all places. Matt Frewer's Max became a Coke pitchman who sometimes outshone the series. Brief, glossy, a primetime warning about the box you were already watching. The stutter is the brand; the satire is the plot.
The Chrysalis page is that short, weird hour. Watch for the newsroom as a regime, the host as a glitch who tells on the medium. Start at the beginning; there is not a long run to get lost in. Glossy, brief, still strange. A commercial face that escaped into a series, and a series that treated television as the villain hiding in the furniture.
