The titular Metal Hurlant asteroid is the link between episodes -- each of which takes place on a different planet and with a different cast -- in this sci-fi anthology series. The asteroid, the last fragment of a once-living planet that is now condemned to travel through space and time, passes by each planet as that planet's story is being told. The show's episodes are adapted from stories featured in the French comics anthology "Metal Hurlant" -- renamed "Heavy Metal" for the U.S. -- and feature cast members that include Michael Jai White, James Marsters and Rutger Hauer.

Fil A @RT77532902 08/15/2022 Actually surprisingly good. If you are a fan of the magazine Metal Hurlant or the US equivalent, Heavy Metal and enjoy short anthology shows, I feel confident you will enjoy these. The stories are quick and simple but very good, most coming directly from the pages of the Metal Hurlant itself. The effects are solid considering the budget and while some of the actors aren't great, the leads are all solid with a number of recognisable names (Rutger Hauer, James Masters, Joe Flannigan). The rating on this website doesn't do it justice. See more 03/04/2017 Interesting TV Show and fans of Heavy Metal should enjoy this live action series based on the popular French Comic. Some episodes are silly and pretty bad overall, but then there are some very solid episodes like Shelter Me (which is pretty much the story over 10 Cloverfield Lane). See more Read all reviews
