Stark

1993 · 1 season

A wry, sprawling eco-conspiracy caper that mixes broad satire with adventure, feeling dated but cheerfully eccentric.

Overview: The greenhouse effect has plunged the near-future world into recession and the Stark Corporation is making billions from the crisis; an eco protester ends caught up in a global conspiracy involving some Australian land, toxic waste, and a mysterious beauty called Rachel. Based on the novel Stark by Ben Elton.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, dark and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Environment, corruption, conspiracy, class
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
