Twisted Metal (TV Show)

 




              Now if it we're me and this is just my opinion I would totally change NASCAR into a battle ground where all racers are shooting at each other as well as blowing each other’s cars, while turning left. Though we're not living in a post-apocalyptic world so I guess, discussing the first-two seasons of Twisted Metal on Peacock streaming service, will do. If you’re not familiar with Peacock basically the streaming service for NBC, along with Universal Studio's films as well as Peacock films and shows and surprisingly enough Twisted Metal based on the popular PlayStation game series is a binge worthy show worth watching. 
               Set somewhere in 2002 or 2005 where all the world has gone to shambles, but CDs are a gold mind for anyone who has a car. John Doe and Quiet (Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz) two unlikely lovers on a quest of redemption as well as participating in a tournament of battle cars. But more importantly there's a killer clown that could makes Joaquin Phoenix's Joker look like a week WAP, if you catch my meaning.
               If you want a good description of what the game of Twisted Metal is to get a clear idea on the show. Basically think of Mad Max in a Video game form which is clearly what Twisted Metal is when you think about it and more importantly you don't necessary need to play the games in order to get into the movie because once I decided to watch the show I basically kept in open mind going in and a result, a surprisingly great, entertaining show that provides great character development from both actors Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz who both show great chemistry together, as well as great character growth through the course of each season. Granted Mackie and Beatriz are great, but the real scene stealer is both Samoa Joe and Will Arnett, together brings the iconic Sweet Tooth to life and I'm not going to lie both men do a fantastic job at bringing the voice as well as the physic of his killer personality. Aside from some scenes getting way to dark, especially some of the first seasons, it does have some great comedic moments as well as bringing out some great 90's and 2000's nostalgia music to the show as well and I think it does bring a great balance between the dark as well as the comedy. Defiantly, an entertaining show with a span of 30 minutes per episode with great character development and great action and for certainly one of the best Television shows I ever seen on a streaming service so, if you have Peacock and love cars as well as action, then I would highly recommend watching Twisted Metal for you'll for certain, have the craving to listen Rob Zombie's Dragula.
