Twisted Metal

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.

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.

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.

Started this show with the idea that it would be a big bright colorful background noise. I was pleasantly surprised. I was very well aware of the game growing up but not being a PlayStation owner I didn't have much excitement for this show as I wouldn't have the slightest clue for what was happening. Listen if you've got a few days (or hours if you're a binge freak) and want something fun this is your show. If you take things too serious than look the other way.

Positives: Great characters. Great pace. A few good laughs. 2000's Nostalgia music

Negatives: a few minor plot holes that make you scratch your head.

As a fan of the original games, I wasn't sure what this is going to be & the trailers were absolutely awful. They need to demote the marketing people for that.

This is surprisingly good, has a decent plot, good characters & true to games to a good extent.

Started first episode & I was hooked. Of course having Stefanie Beatriz & Thomas Haden Church makes it even better. Two of my favorite comedy actors.

It has decent car action sequences, weird good comedy & interesting characters.

If you are the fan of games or just looking for a fun new series, I highly recommend Twisted Metal series. Hope it gets renewed.
