    This is one of those shows and pieces of media that feels like a fever dream. Any time I bring it up I feel like a crazy person from another dimension because NOBODY seems to remember it at all.

    I loved this show when it aired. I remember it was a little hard to follow at times, but the imagery and dark tone was incredible. It's funny to think about what MTV put on the air back then compared to now.

      MTV was the place for late-night adult cartoons. Miss those days. Liquid television, aeon fux, Beavis butthead,the head, Daria. I know there are more. MTV during the 90's had a nice mix of a animations and of course music shows. Good o' days

    I never caught on to what the show was truly about, I just loved the animation, and how cool Maxx looked.. knowing now what it was all about!? Wow! I’m gonna rewatch it all again, or pick up the comic to read it fully.
    The uncle SA/R’ed his niece, which turned out to be the social worker.. and, that’s what the whole show is based around- including a homeless man that’s suffering from severe mental illness. He’s one of her case work, but they have a bond.. they’re both trying to escape the misery by living in a false reality. This is deep, and very heartbreaking..

      The comics are incredible, the storyline is so mysterious and surreal, part of what made it cool was that fans would write in with thier theories and best guesses as to what in the hell was actually happening in the story haha it is still quite an enigma to this day. the Maxx had all kinds of strange symbolism and dealt with themes of psychological trauma, the subconcious, dreams,... it was unbelievably sophisticated, avant garde and unique. Def worth a serious delving into :)

    I just finished watching this show and I can't believe I had been unaware of such a masterpiece. It took scrolling through tiktok for me to come across a clip of this show. Granted I'm only 20 and it came out 7 years before I was born, but I can't imagine why I hadn't at least heard the name or seen it somewhere growing up. Nonetheless this hidden gem is beautiful. The voice actors, the different animation styles, music, sound design, the architecture and landscapes, especially when transporting us into Pangea. I was immersed for all 13 episodes, confused as to what was real and what wasn't. It gave me such a sense of nostalgia, sadness, and some moments of joy. As a whole the show is quite depressing and reflects ordinary life in a pretty realistic way, delving into the many complexities we humans experience within the confinement of our minds. The ending hit me pretty deeply as I'm struggling to let go of someone myself. Maxx came to a realization that in order to get back to who he was, and rediscover his true inner self, he needed to let go of Julie. As painful as it was, he did what he had to, and went about his own life without her. Whether he was real or just a figment of Julie's imagination still doesn't quite make sense to me. Regardless it's quickly risen to my favorites list and I hope to discover more older, mature shows just like it.

    Before understanding Maxx’s identity, I saw him as some sort of guide/support. He’ll help you through things, but can’t fight your battles. Your demons, your monsters, your past, your traumas are for you to tackle. You won’t make it 100% unscathed, but can be able to finally progress without being dragged constantly from whatever weighs you down.

      Plus reboots nowadays don't get a lot of justice because of the woke crowd.

      If the primal makers do it it be nice and get actual fans who aren’t activists/posers like the woke weirdos are and should not pander to the woke crowd because Twitter isn’t a real place

    I was too young to really enjoy The Maxx or Head and Aeon Flux.
    Few years back, at my local niche shop. Came across a signed The Maxx #1. I think it's blue n gold. Oh, I bought it, wasn't walking away from that.

      To this day, whenever I go to somebody new's home and they ask if I'm hungry, I reply: "Got any toast?" 😁.
      Nobody gets it but I always thought it was the most awesome and random line from the show. I was friggin TWELVE when this was on TV and I still remember it.

    Sam Kieth is by far my favorite artist, and “the Maxx” was my all time favorite comics.
    The comic is one of the few series that increased in value the higher the number. I have every book in the series, and a few special editions.
    This video was a fantastic overview of the show.
