Max Headroom, ep 1. Intriguing start to this short-lived but influential late 80s cyberpunk sci-fi show. In a world ruled by TV networks, an intrepid reporter discovers that a new form of advertising developed by his own network could be fatal to some viewers - but may not live to tell the tale. Fascinating to see this again, it still feels very familiar even though it must be over 30 years since I last saw it.
