(Peacock) Twisted Metal

[FrighT MasteR]

After all these years of trying to get a movie going, a series was made instead and will be hitting Peacock in July

I'm more excited about the rumor of a new Twisted Metal live service game launching with this.

Oh, that looks interesting.

Hate that pop song being in the trailer, I guess they thought that would be funny I just hope we get some sweet tunes in there...and then Sweet Tooth showing up with that laugh! I'll reserve judgment until I watch the actual show. Hope it's good.

Yeah, goofy 90's song Len Steal My Sunshine

[Toby]

Looks like they're just gonna keep doubling down on the pop songs and making it cringe-worthy comedy, granted the Twisted Metal games are campy albeit darkly campy in their own way which makes them stand out from the rest but so far this show is looking like another dud.

I'll still watch it and see for myself, maybe they're just setting it up for some great stuff and it's just bad marketing...but I'm not holding my breath.

Was it just too expensive to purchase heavy metal music or something? Seems highly unlikely and this was a show made by people who don't care about the games or never played them and just puke out a pile of dumb like the Halo series or Netflix's Resident Evil.

[FrighT MasteR]

Yeah, I'm curious, but everything I'm seeing for it doesn't seem very promising

[Halcon Loco]

Yea after seeing that trailer, I lost interest in the show. The trailer was cringy and annoying.

[Macready]

For a show based off a game that is nothing but ultra violent car on car mayhem something is just a tad bit off with how this show looks.

[strtfghtr]

This looks so bad. Hard pass.

[Macready]

Much better trailer. I'm on board with this.

[FrighT MasteR]

Looks alright, but all the gags aren't really working for me. I'll check it, but I dunno how much I can actually sit through if that's how it's gonna go

[Toby]

That is an okay trailer better than the previous ones we got. I'm still skeptical and I'll give it a chance as long as it doesn't go the HALO and Sonic the Hedgehog route.

[RustedChainsaw]

Show is alright. Not outstanding or edgy as it thinks it is. Sweet Tooth is the main draw for me. The humor is meh, but my main gripe is that there's just not enough car action.

[FrighT MasteR]

I just finished the series and honestly it wasn't as bad as I expected. It didn't look very good from the trailers, but after reading some surprisingly positive reviews I decided to check it and I dunno if it's cuz I went in with super low expectations or what, but I actually found it fairly decent. The comedy seemed forced at first, but it found its rythem after a while and characters grew on me. It was also cool seeing familiar cars/characters show up, even if just for a brief bit. Like others have said, it could've used more car action, but what it did offer wasn't too bad and it looks like it's all a setup for the next season (assuming their is a next season) when they actually do a tournament. Overall, it's not as terrible as I thought it'd be, but it's still not very good or something I'd recommend for peeps that aren't familiar with the games. Either way, it gets a high 6/10 from me.
