There was enough homage to the fanbase without it being a stumbling block for new comers. It had a specific cheesy, comic game style, knew its strengths and played to them. The cast was strong and didn't super ham it in their performances. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.… Expand

Perhaps influenced by The Last Of Us, TM takes place in an apocalyptic America, carved into factions, with a driver/courier on a cross-country delivery mission with a stubborn female passenger. Sound familiar? Unlike Last, TM presents itself in half hour segments, which makes sense, as it's basically a workplace comedy. It's not for nothing that Stephanie Beatrice, of Brooklyn 9-9, is cast alongside Anthony Mackie, as the road companion (look for another Brooklyn castmate making a humorous appearance). Thomas Haden Church portrays Agent Stone, the "lawman", while the wild card psycho Sweet Tooth is voiced by Mr. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, Will Arnett (with that buttery voice infused with some broken glass). To paraphrase Jurassic Park, for a show about cars and guns combat, where's the cars and guns? It's takes a while, but the ride, the characters, the over the top violence, gets us there, along with some great 2000's needle drops. It's like a SyFy series from 5 years ago (remember Blood Drive), only with a better cast and writing.… Expand

This show is actually pretty good, it's not perfect, and at times it watches like a low budget film - but all in all, I feel like this show captures the feeling of what the Twisted Metal video game world was trying to create with their loreThis show is actually pretty good, it's not perfect, and at times it watches like a low budget film - but all in all, I feel like this show captures the feeling of what the Twisted Metal video game world was trying to create with their lore and stories that were built behind the cast of drivers you can choose from. This show doesn't go through the entire roster of characters, but it does pick the best of the bunch from the First video game list and creates a loosely based Real Life adaption of that. Some of the characters include Roadkill, Twister, Calypso, Sweet Tooth and a few others. They absolutely nailed the Sweet Tooth character - I was worried at first, but if you really consider the dark nature of his character in the game, it's clear that he is also twisted in the mind and the TV show really does capture that and gives him quite the very hilarious backstory as well. Overall, the show is funny and keeps you entertained the entire time with only a few episodes being boring. If Season 2 picks from the cast of characters from Twisted Metal 2 and Season 3 from Twisted Metal 3 and so forth, then I can see this show doing very well and lasting quite a while. (7 out of 10)… Expand

Coming into this, was expecting it to be really bad, to my surprise this tv show was actually incredibly good.

It's probably not winning any awards and some actors like young stone in flash backs were terrible. However for the main cast they were amazing. if you are a twisted metal fan you will love this, that being said its not entirely faithful to the game but it surely makes up for that with the way it goes. definitely recommended.… Expand

Overall fun TV Show that knows what it is. I got a lot of Z-Nation vibes from the show and it never takes itself too seriously.

Yet another video game that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world is adapted to the screen.

AnthonyYet another video game that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world is adapted to the screen. The major cities in the US are protected by giant walls and armed guards, while the rest of the country is wild and dangerous anarchy. Anthony Mackie plays a "milkman," who specializes in braving the continuous attacks to deliver goods between cities. His comic sensibilities serve his well as he wise cracks his way thru the villains…with the help of a souped-up car and lots of weapons. Pretty soon, he's paired up with a sullen woman (Stephanie Beatriz) and their friendship/rivalry forms the movie's core relationship. Her gruff attitude and dry delivery add punch to the duo's chemistry. Since this was created by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the duo behind Zombieland and the Deadpool films, you can expect plenty of off-hand violence followed by an off-hand quip. Given this pedigree you might hope for something extra, but even with the upbeat action and smart aleck lines, it only occasionally generates mild excitement.… Expand
