THE VERDICT
Synthesized from published reviews
Riding the aesthetic coattails of Tron, Automan brought glowing vector graphics and computer-generated superheroics to primetime television. Glen Larson's visual spectacle outpaced its thin weekly detective plots, offering eye-popping optical effects and lighthearted buddy-cop chemistry. It is a charmingly nostalgic slice of early digital-era pop culture.
