Season 2 Review:
Everyone simply seems to be having more fun this year, and that can be infectious. If the first season felt like an obligation to ride a wave of video game adaptations, the second feels like an honest effort to satisfy both fans of the games and those who never played them. The result is a season that finds its tone in ways that the first never did.

Season 1 Review:
The show’s plot, especially, is total nonsense, sending Mackie racing across a decent chunk of the country with a ticking clock that never seems to meaningfully tick. There are ideas, images, and jokes worth seeing here, to be sure. But it’s a long trek to get to them.

Season 2 Review:
It’s the hilarious love child of Death Race, Blood Drive, and … well, the long-running Twisted Metal videogame series. Is this show for everyone? Assuredly not. But in Season 2, it’s not trying to be. It’s just trying to be Twisted Metal, and it finally has that figured out.

Season 1 Review:
Although its late-stage tie-ins to its source material and cliffhanger ending didn’t do much for me, and I have a general allergy towards its brand of blood-splattered gags, the characterization of these endearing misfits left me eager to see what stretch of road they’d visit next.

Season 1 Review:
It all feels very brash and attention-seeking, like the TV equivalent of a lime-green hatchback doing late-night doughnuts in a supermarket car park. But, if you can tune in to Twisted Metal’s motormouth wavelength of childish exuberance, it is certainly a fun ride.

Season 1 Review:
There might have even been a better version of this show that wasn’t scared to really center Stu as the lead, a normal guy in a sea of abnormal weirdos. In that version, the writers wouldn’t have been so tied to a protagonist like John who thinks he’s charming but is really just bland. And it could have allowed other supporting players from the series to pop in and out. Instead, we’re stuck in a car with John and Quiet, wondering when this road trip is going to end.

Absolutely loved it. Quirky and all, but best show I've seen in a long time. Hope they renew.
