Æon Flux is set in a surreal German Expressionist-style future. The setting depicts a bizarre dystopia populated by mutant creatures, clones and robots, set within two city-states (Monica and Bregna) separated by a border wall in an otherwise barren earth-like world. Each of the six episodes in the first season was originally broadcast as a 2-minute segment of Liquid Television. On home media releases they are compiled into a single feature.
