TWISTED METAL, a half-hour live-action TV series based on the classic PlayStation game series, is a high-octane action comedy about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.

Critics Consensus

An enjoyable blast of cartoonishly violent mayhem, Twisted Metal sometimes struggles to flesh out its source material, but ultimately offers an adaptation with surprising depth.

An assault on the senses and the intellect, Twisted Metal is one for the scrapyard.

It could have been a car crash. Instead, it’s an enjoyably breakneck whoosh through the A-Z of dystopian sci-fi cliches.

There might have even been a better version of this show that wasn’t scared to really center Stu as the lead.

Its not so much an adaptation as it is an introduction for those who never played the game. The first season is a reworking of the story for a bigger picture. If the series continues, there’s a lot of promise that die-hard fans will be rewarded.

This show is not technically a good one, but it is fun and entertaining and utterly ridiculous.

At first I thought it may be too campy/hokey to get into, though ended up being a fun time. Brought me back to the times playing that awesome Playstation game. SweetTooth ended up being a great character and I like Mackie. Rosa from Brooklyn 99 was cool to see her play a more dynamic character. Looking forward to s2.

Great acting, lovingly made costumes, backdrops, props made the characters come alive. To me this production is a masterpiece.
