Max Headroom/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Flanderization: A vague-but-important UK-Japan business deal in the original TV movie balloons into Japan Takes Over the World in the TV series.
  • Too Good to Last
  • Uncanny Valley: Max Headroom of course!
  • Villain Decay: Bryce Lynch goes from a pubescent Mengele in the film to a Steve Urkel in the series.
    • However the very last episode seems to indicate that the producers were interested in exploring the unethical aspects of Bryce's personality. He's on the verge of going back to working for Grossberg, out of sheer boredom, before Edison appears and literally drags him by the ear back to Network 23. (The same episode also contains one of the most hilarious lines of the series, which explains what happened to Bryce's computer-generated parrot)
