Original Name: TekWar Number of Seasons: 2 Number of Episodes: 18 Status: Ended The series, which was a co-production between Atlantis Films and Universal Television premiered on Januand ended on February 9, 1996. The series was broadcast in Canada on CTV and in the United States on USA Network and the Sci Fi Channel. The series follows Jake Cardigan, a former police officer turned private investigator working for Cosmos, a private security firm owned and operated by Walter Bascom. Maybe if Hollywood decided to make this a stand-alone feature film, they could make it well enough that it becomes an A-movie and finally saves this franchise.TekWar is a North American television series, based on the TekWar novels ghost-written by Ron Goulart from outlines by William Shatner and developed for television by Stephen Roloff. However, I don't know if having a bigger budget would've saved it. Being that this was a TV movie, its typical that it didn't have a big budget. The 90's B-movie tech and special effects often become a distraction from the acting and plot. The acting and plot are okay, but fall short and become boring after a while. The movie setting ends up being a 90's semi-futuristic B-movie. Here are some problems I had with it: The book setting is supposed to be portrayed in the 22 century. It wasn't given much praise by critics anyway. Although that plot sounds interesting on paper, it didn't work as well as I thought when I was watching it on YouTube. The character, Bascom, grants him early parole so Jake can stop the Tek drug from becoming an epidemic. As a result, he's framed and sentenced to be cryogenically frozen. The basic plot of the story is Jake is a former cop who supposedly killed his teammates when they were trying to stop a drug lord. I don't know how the books are compared to this movie, because I never read them.
