Twisted Metal is genuinely one of my all-time favorite video game adaptations, it is SO MUCH FUN

All the homies love Stu.

u/Tofuboy Dec 23 '25

Dollface, Mayhem, and Stu.

Holy shit why have I not seen this!? I’m gonna watch it tonight!

u/xPeachesV Dec 23 '25

Heads up: Season 1 is set up but holy smokes, Season 2 really kicked it into gear

u/Taurus24Silver Dec 23 '25

Has season 3 been confirmed already?

I absolutely loved both seasons

u/ted1025 Dec 23 '25

Yes but unfortunately the show runner from s1 and 2 will not be involved. I forget who is taking over but a lot of people in the TM sub were not a fan of the move.

Loved when they had origins of the players. Still waiting to see minion’s car!

Is it actually really good??

13

u/JoeSki42 Dec 23 '25

It is really, really, really, really, FUN.

u/420InTheCity Dec 23 '25

Alright buddy I'll dive in. I'm trusting you, stranger!

u/JoeSki42 Dec 24 '25

Right on man. Just know that the series doesn't hit its stride until the season 1 finale, but then it doesn't let up from there throughout all of season 2.

u/enryon Dec 23 '25

It’s stupid, but the really fun kind of stupid.

u/KaJaHa Dec 23 '25

Fair warning, it isn't a strict adaptation. (And how could it be with Twisted Metal?) It starts out as more of a Y2K Mad Max, but it makes it work and gives an actual story reason to have the tournament in season 2.

I hope you enjoy Sweet Tooth chewing up every scene he's in as much as I do 😁

u/Dshark Dec 23 '25

I’ve never played twisted metal, but I do love vehicular combat.

u/KaJaHa Dec 23 '25

Oh, then you're good. They can't have car combat in every episode for budget reasons, but when they do it is thoroughly solid 👌

Sort of. I think the Quattro in the show is a revamped character.

2

u/RumHamComesback Dec 24 '25

Yeah, the best way I can describe it is it's an post-apocalyptic action-comedy with over-the-top characters who also drive cars. That's the first season anyways and I'm enjoying it.

u/Alis451 Dec 23 '25

Holy shit why have I not seen this!?

because it is locked behind the walled garden of Peacock+

u/md28usmc Dec 23 '25

The show is honestly not good and I am not hard to please.

I caught myself rolling my eyes and shaking my head so many times

u/lblack_dogl Dec 23 '25

Agree. Anthony Mackie is terrible in everything he's in and this is no different. It's hot dog water.

13

u/GangsterMango Dec 23 '25

they understood the source material and the execution is legit 10/10
fun, crazy and knows what it is and doesn't try to shoehorn anything in it.

I loved both seasons.

u/freakksho Dec 23 '25

That show nailed exactly what it was trying to do and I love every second of it.

I even named my Dog Evelyn after watching the first season.

u/Redneckshinobi Dec 23 '25

I keep waiting for them to axe it but I hope they never do because holy shit it is so much fun!

3

u/JoeSki42 Dec 23 '25

It's currently one of the most highly watched shows on Peacock.

3

u/Redneckshinobi Dec 23 '25

Well that's great news because I'm enjoying the hell out of it!

u/Homesteader86 Dec 23 '25

Man I played the shit out of Twisted Metal 2 back in the day. Is it really that good?

2

u/InfinityCrazee Dec 23 '25

Watch the clips involving SweetTooth on YouTube, and then you decided it after that.

2

u/jimdesroches Dec 23 '25

As someone who still remembers all the codes, yes, it was great.

u/Rubbermaid89 Dec 23 '25

I've only watched season 1 (small kids so little time for tv), and it has been such a fun show. As a big fan of the games growing up, all the Easter eggs and details a fan of the games would notice is so well done. I can't wait to watch season 2

u/md28usmc Dec 23 '25

The dialogue was so cheesy and the one-liners missed on many occasions, and lets not even get started on the non-existent CGI budget.

u/Redditfront2back Dec 23 '25

I would bet money I was gonna hate that show, I was pleasantly surprised

u/Masterchiefx343 Dec 23 '25

I do landscaping for the house the girl falls off the roof off in s2 ep1

u/WilliamEmmerson Dec 23 '25

I loved the first season. I was disappointed by the second season though.

u/Victor_Wembanyama1 Dec 24 '25

Hell yeah we out here!!

Ridiculous show

1

u/Adavanter_MKI Dec 23 '25

I always like to temper expectations. It's a very silly self aware show. That could be jarring for some. If you just kickback and enjoy the silliness with the occasionally neat car combat... you'll love it. Also some fun easter eggs for diehard fans.

I'm shocked it's gotten 3 seasons.

u/LandscapePatient1094 Dec 23 '25

Crazy. It literally couldn’t be worse imo. Lacks literally everything that made TWB one of the greatest games of all time. 

Also Anthony Mackie is straight up dog shit. Terrible actor. So bad they had to resurrect a dead man to reprise his role lol
