New 'Twisted Metal' Show Captures Spirit of Games While Updating Story for Live-Action
- The Peacock series adaptations the chaotic tone and characters from the PlayStation games into a post-apocalyptic setting.
- Reviews praise the tongue-in-cheek humor, gritty world-building and performances, particularly Anthony Mackie as John Doe.
- Fans note relatively little car combat action compared to the games, potentially due to budget constraints.
- The show leans into absurdity and gratuitous violence with references to the games satisfying hardcore fans.
- Overall the adaptation brings something fresh while respecting the essence of the Twisted Metal franchise.
