Review

Late-night HBO in the ’80s meant a dude in a leather jacket wandering alongside a highway, spouting off heavy-sounding nonsense that always put viewers in a good mood because they knew what was coming next: boobs. The Hitchhiker was an anthology thriller series in which each episode was set up by the anonymous title character and then usually focused on some back-stabbing romantic relationship gone homicidal. The one guarantee was some nudity in each installment, meaning that Mr. Skin gives The Hitchhiker more than merely a thumbs up.
