      Graeme Virtue Guardian [Automan was] visually spectacular but dramatically inert. Jul 5, 2018 Full Review Tim Webber CBR The show featured some special effects that are still impressive for the time. Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Matt Kerstetter Screen Rant To say that Automan was ahead of its time is both very true and so very, very false... False, in that the ability to tell a good story is nothing new. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Kevin Kelly io9.com Automan was television's bastard child answer to the movie Tron, and featured a sentient crime fighting computer program with a Lamborghini. Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Jeremy Ulrey PopMatters The series, Automan, was much more grounded in plot than Tron. Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Tom Eames Digital Spy Automan was probably just ahead of its time and tried to punch above its weight (and budget). May 21, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
