Simon Kieth's popular comic book was adapted for television in this multipart animated series first broadcast on MTV. A little confusing, the series--which concerns a kind of hulking superhero and his attachment to a female therapist and her teenage client--is actually mesmerizing and surprisingly touching. The writing is unusually sophisticated, and Kieth's ability to create complex female characters and provide their incisive dialogue should be the envy of any male scribe. Parallel action set in a so-called outback--an escape from reality--is wild and evocative of childhood fantasies. This is a strangely beautiful show all around. --Tom Keogh

- Worn, but wonderful
As a VHS, I expected it to be somewhat worn, especially for how old this series is. The box was of course a little worse for wear, and you can tell the tape has been played multiple times. What matters most is how it plays, and it's all I hoped for! I still haven't watched the whole thing, so I hope I'm not jinxing myself, but so far so good!!! :)
Rating: - A trippy movie
I watched this movie after not having seen it since the mid nineties. I have to tell you this, it was extremely imaginative and well written.
I would highly recommend anything written by this person. As far as the quality of the product I received, the video was excellent. This tape probably sat in a video store for the majority of its life unwatched which was my luck and a loss to anybody who didn't rent it.
Rating: - A+ performance
A superb piece of animation magic. This sorid tale sets a solid foundation and when coupled with quality graphic cartooning the result is sublime. I knew The Maxx had this covered when it was first released, and yet coming back to it after all these years has not diluted any of it's original potency. In fact it has only gotten better.
Rating: - So Sad, Still No Release :(
I scooped up Aeon Flux a few years back and figured The Maxx would be well on it's way to DVD.....now I am hoping for Blu-Ray. My god, how long do we have to wait for this? It was one of the most interesting, surreal and beautiful animations on TV.
Until they decide to release tangible copies you can watch the episodes on MTV online.
