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.

Not since The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits have I discovered a science fiction anthology show as compelling as this French-produced TV series. Go to Full Review

Metal Hurlant Chronicles is the kind of thing that gives adolescent male power fantasies a bad name. Go to Full Review

In a way, Metal Hurlant Chronicles is a 50/50 show, treading firmly on the line between "it's so bad it's good" and "so bad it's actually bad". Go to Full Review

03/04/2017 I watched both Season 1 and 2 back to back both are very similar. Some good episodes and 1 or 2 silly episodes. Season 2 has more episodes that are intertwined and probably better overall then Season 1. But doesn't have one episode that stands above the rest. See more 04/20/2015 I'm a big sci-fi fan and I bought this online. It's basically an anthology of stories, mostly set in the future. The sets are cheap as are the special effects. It's a French-made series with a couple of good stories, but mostly of the very mediocre variety. It tries to be contemporary Twilight Zone or Outer Limits, but misses the mark by quite a bit. Don't waste your time or money. Go catch the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits instead on Netflix. See more Read all reviews
