Twisted Metal

A fun romping stomping show, based on a videogame series (which I didn't know going into it) so was clueless as to what it was but with a good crew it was worth a try. I just finished binging all 10 episodes in one sitting, so this deserves a solid 9/10 from me.

It had minimal downtime, basically a hoot to watch, and the actors did a great job, especially the character Sweet Tooth, voiced by Will Arnett while embodied by Joe Seanoa, a wwe wrestler wearing a clown mask. He easily stole every scene he was in.

The cgi and action scenes could have been better, but you can't expect MCU 200 million dollar budget effects from a TV show based on a video game, so with the budget they had they did well enough that it didn't feel to o campy.

Certainly recommend giving it a go.

I had absolutely no idea what to expect from Twisted Metal since I never played the game. All I could go by was the trailer and it made it look like it was going to be a fun show to watch. Well, this show it only met my expectations but surpassed them. I've really enjoyed it so far. Anthony Mackie does a great job as the lead in this and the supporting actors/actresses also all do a pretty good job making this show worthy of watching. Some of it's ridiculous, but it's suppose to be. Just turn your brain off and you'll have a good time watching this. I love that they released all 10 episodes at the same time because this series is best watched binged. The episodes are only about 30min long so you can binge the 10 episode first season pretty quick.

I don't know what people are looking for here, but definitely it's not an Emmy's award winner, not a deep and twisted script series. Take it for what is it: a fun ride!

First, the cast is great. Didn't expect Sidney Prescott here! (Scream), or people from Mayans MC. Most of the main characters do an acceptable job here. Love it.

Second, Fx's are pretty cool. Good point the blood does look real most of the time, so great for gory fans like me.

Last, music is great. As other said the music fits perfectly with the action and goofy-gory scenes.

So, overall a great series just for entertainment. I didn't know it is based in a video game and I think you don't need to know anything to enjoy. But I think it's even better if you know about it. Consequently, if you're in a mood of short episodes (30 min) of a goofy gory action series, go for it.

For a TV show based off of a video game series it really isn't that bad. There are quite a few references to the video game and others if you know them otherwise the references just fit into the shows dialogue. It's not the worse adaptation I've seen it's actually one of the better ones. They did a good job adding things from the game that people will recognize. It is a show not just for fans of the game series but also for new fans. The casting was done really well. The ending was the only thing that brought the score down for me. I think if they added one or two more episodes it would have been great.

Twisted Metal is absolutely bananas but it works. It's one of the more entertaining new shows that I've seen this year. You can't really compare it to anything since there's never been anything quite like it. The series is based off a PlayStation game of the same name. It's about a quirky outsider (Anthony Mackie) who's offered a chance at a better life if he can deliver a mysterious package across a post apocalyptic world all the while by being chased by a bunch of different violent maniacs trying to stop him. He's helped from a badass car thief (Stephanie Beatriz) who is the perfect sidekick for him.
