In the future, an oligarchy of television networks rules the world.
Even the government functions primarily as a puppet of the network
executives, serving mainly to pass laws — such as banning "off" switches
on televisions — that protect and consolidate the networks' power.
Television technology has advanced to the point that viewers' physical
movements and thoughts can be monitored through their television sets.
Almost all non-television technology has been discontinued or destroyed.
The only real check on the power of the networks is Edison Carter, a
crusading investigative journalist who regularly exposes the unethical
practices of his own employer, and the team of allies both inside and
outside the system who assist him in getting his reports to air and
protecting him from the forces that wish to silence or kill him.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_(TV_series)
