The 1980s was a glorious time for sci-fi. With Cyberpunk at the cutting edge of fiction and Star Trek's popularity resurging thanks to The Next Generation, the beloved Captain Kirk himself dipped his feet into the world of pulp literature. The result was a series of novels called 'TekWar'. Then a TekWar comic book. Then a bunch of TekWar movies. Then a TekWar TV series. Then a TekWar video game.

The books sold well. The show broke ratings records. The game did things that had never been attempted. TekWar was everywhere! TekWar was doing everything! Outside of the game's infamous reputation, why doesn't the world remember TekWar?

Stam Fine Reviews (along with Stam Fine's Side Hustle) looks at Tek War, the '90s series based on the cyberpunk detective book series created by William Shatner. Jack Cardigan is an ex cop and ex-Tek junkie who's now working as a private investigator for security company Cosmos. Stars Greg Evigan, William Shatner, Maria Del Mar, Torri Higginson, Eugene Clarke, Natalie Radford.

Why a collaboration between the two Stam Fine channels? There's an overlap in interests.

Stam Fine's Side Hustle- because its a show from after 1990, and the main Stam Fine channel since that audience seems to like some '90s shows IF they're science fiction.
