RoboCop: The Animated Series (Season 1)

RoboCop: The Animated Series (1988) is the Saturday-morning cartoon spin-off of the cult action film, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Old Detroit has one cop left standing — part man, part machine. Officer Alex Murphy was gunned down on duty, and the OCP corporation rebuilt what survived into an armored cyborg with a badge.

Murphy patrols the city with his partner Officer Anne Lewis, taking on street gangs, mad inventors and the boardroom schemers who built him. Somewhere under the steel a human memory flickers — a wife, a son, the life he lost. Each episode runs as its own case, sized for a kids' afternoon slot yet keeping a faint trace of the grim tone Paul Verhoeven gave the original. Directed by Bill Hutton and Tony Love, it trims the franchise down without dumbing it all the way down. Stream RoboCop (1988) online on iFILM.
