There really have been that many cyberpunk/tomorrows world detective shows only ones that come to mind are anime series like "Ghost in the Shell", "Psycho Pass", and the live action shows "Almost Human" and "Total Recall 2070" also under the radar gems. This show along with the book series was ahead of its time, it defiantly predates "Ghost in the Shell" which was years later after this series. ![]() But as I said for its time, as time went on this TV series including the book series has become forgotten. And surprising the series really was a hit, it had a series of TV films, which of course soon lead to this series, so yeah, this series was popular for its time. ![]() This is another under the radar gem, this series was based on the "Tek War" book series by William Shatner. ![]()
