A dystopian vision of interactive TV gone awry

Commentary summary:
Cyber-anxiety turns to TV-hating in Virtuosity
Text Commentary:

A (perhaps overly) familiar, cinematic critique of television temporarily supersedes the cyber-anxiety narrative of Virtuosity. A super-villain conjured into physical existence from a computer database, launches a channel called Death TV, which immediately garners huge ratings by televising live executions, torture and terror.
