Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Debabrata Sarker The original robocop movie was the best but from there it all went downhill, the second was watchable and the third was simply terrible... the worst was Robocop prime Directives ... so when i started to see this series i was not expecting much .. and in the beginning i was correct ... the pilot was a disappointing, in spite being written by the original writers .. but midway through the series the story began to get interesting with the introduction of Murphy's family ... it was really interesting to see Robo behave awkward in front of his wife and son ... even his father and mother are introduced here ...the best thing about the series is about the character development of Robocop.... the background of Alex Murphy's life is given here, his family, friends... another thing which surprised me was the production budget .... the gadgets robo uses and the computers and graphics were pretty neat considering it was made in the early part of the nineties... i was pleasantly surprised... sometimes the series frustrated me because there was no violence in the series... most of the times i wished robo will zap out his big gun and riddle the annoying villains and put them out of their misery but because this is a family series he just knocks them unconscious.. there are some awesome moments as well .. one which amused me was the outburst of Madigan who replaces Nancy Allen from the original movie in the episode of commander cash, another is the very emotional scene when Alex's father realizes the truth about Robocop... all in all this series is a very good continuation of the franchise, it may have its faults but nonetheless i am glad it was made and it gave a lot of material about robocop and his world ... i wish there were more seasons of it was made

bmartin79 Although there is more than one way RoboCop could have been adapted for television, this is a very good way to do it. Although movie director Verhoeven's touch is missing on the series, the original writers Miner and Neumeier return (at least for the pilot) to put Robocop back on track. The content is somewhat toned down over the original movie (both because of its conversion to television and because it is aimed at a younger audience), but the spirit of the original is in most ways preserved: the satire, personal drama (mostly regarding Alex Murphy/Robocop), and the good-guy vs. bad-guy action. The drama regarding Murphy is expanded on, as we get more exposure to his memories and to his family, and there is added a character, in the form of Delta City's new brain, who shares in many ways Murphy's plight. Ultimately, the television series comes off closer to the original movie than either of the two theatrical sequels.The television series does take a slightly different spin than the movie, but ultimately it works out for the best. Robocop here is more of a comic book superhero, but not necessarily in a bad way. He is superhuman both physically and morally, and yet we remain sympathetic to his plight throughout. He is someone we really want to root for. (Personally, I think RoboCop makes the most interesting superhero since Batman.) The villains are more comic-bookish as well, but they do not seem out of place given the change in tone. The series can be serious and yet be silly in an almost Batman-like way at times, without the two ever seeming at odds with each other. Also changed is the tone; the series moralizes more, and has cut the graphic violence of the original. It is sort of RoboCop with more of a conscience.In addition to its other virtues, the series adds surprisingly high production value and more than tolerable acting (Richard Eden especially does an interesting job as Robocop - very mechanical, quite appropriate). For fans of RoboCop or of comic-book-style action shows like Batman and Superman or hardcore sci-fi fans this is a must see. For anyone willing to experience something out of the ordinary, this is very good viewing. It is a shame it only made it one season, I would have loved to see more.

motor89 Take the excellent 1987 film and strip out all of the really good bits.Ultra-violence - Robocop the film was insanely violent and sweary ... always a good thing in a film (laugh).Biting satire - The film was savage in its attack on corporate America. The series tones it down to the point of being meaningless. The sleazy managing director of the film becomes and kindly misunderstood old man in the series. Please!To make things worse, the series introduces a "moppet" - an irritating child character to woo stupid people. There is even a shot during the title sequence with Robocop holding a child's hand. Argh!In it's favour, the series does expand on the motivations and feelings behind the Robocop character ... but who cares?

Sic Coyote Although this movie could have done with being made to be shown at a later time so they could have had him actually shoot people and other things like that were in the film. On it's own just looking at it as a RoboCop series without compairing it to the movie it is very good! It's got RoboCop, he's Robotic, he's got a gun and he knows how to use it, and you've got the evil OCP what more do you need :) The change in casting of everyone strikes you at first but you soon get used to the new chairman and other cast. A lot of fun, I wish they would release the whole series on like 4 dvds or something. I'd buy it :) all I have at the moment is about have the series on video. He's certainly more robocop in this than he is in that later animated series Alpha Commando, too much expression.
