this was a 4 episode sci-fi mini series starring james belushi from the early 90's, on ABC. IIRC it was really freaking good. i was wondering if anyone at all remember this?
i see theres only an australian DVD release, how odd. wonder if they'll actually release an NTSC version.
 
I do!
When I was a kid I watched it and even had it on tape, there was also a companion book that I went over with a fine tooth comb.

I actually went hunting for this about a month ago after remembering it's existance out of the blue... never actually found anything on it..


Yet I did come across Max Headroom Torrents a week ago so there is hope

Holy shit, this thread brings back memories!

Yeah, I remember it having some really neat things and ideas... now I wanna track down that DVD set.
 
I remember it as being a cheap Twin Peaks knock off and being too confusing and incoherent. I would have to re-watch it again to see if it was indeed as I remember it.
 
wild palms was brilliant.... for its time.
it had 3 great episodes and one pretty bad ending ep.

it flew its 'cyberpunk' flag a little too high, since it was really tech light.
the william gibson cameo being one:

Bill Gibson coined the term cyberspace

and they wont let me forget it...


i liked Stones cameo too, he was on a talk show speaking about being vindicated by the true facts of JFK's killing coming to light.

Dana Delaney was quite hot too.

back then it was a 8.5/10
now its a 6/10.
