Is Calypso even in this? Surprised if he isn’t Hopefully Mr.Grimm and Minion are in. This looks really fun anyways I think the character who talks to Anthony Mackie about granting his wish is supposed to be the show’s Calypso equivalent, if not a gender-flipped version. The show does look kinda entertaining for what it is. The actual Twisted Metal games were never really deep experiences, just pick up and play car destruction fun, and the show seems like it’s done in that spirit (even if the car combat tourney is not present on the show). |

I didn’t expect the “Will Arnett & Samoa Joe” credit but, like honestly most of this trailer, it made me smile. Even if it’s not good, you can tell everyone involved had fun on set and that at least makes it seem enjoyable.

It annoys me that they keep referring to him as Sweet Tooth... that was the name of the Truck. He was Needles Kaine. They messed up themselves a few times in the games but... the name on the character select was the Vehicle not the name of the Driver -_-  They used Hot Shots Golf 2 as the canon name for him in this show  |

The Yellow Jacket ending even makes it clear that Needles had been using the Sweet Tooth name as an alias ever since escaping the mental ward. |

Finally got through all 10 episodes and final verdict....I enjoyed it. Anthony Mackie is a fun charming lead. Samoa Joe is a great physical actor as Sweet Tooth and basically steals the show everytime he shows up. Will Arnetts voice for Sweet Tooth/Needles from certain reactions some people either like it or believe it is a waste to be paying all this money for Will Arnett when they could save likely alot of money and just let Joe do the voice as well and can't say I disagree with the sentiment. This is a show that pretty well understands what people are in this for and they have lots of fun with it. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Them playing My Immortal by Evanesence when Evelyn "dies" had me laughing at first because it was a complete WTF for a second but then the realization the show made me care about the relationship a man had for his car kicked in so bravo on that one show. I gotta say the actual main running plot of the season I did not much care for and how that story ends up will probably piss a few people off or be like...yea that feels in line with the games , as for the other running stories {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}They all just feel like set ups to bigger things which by the end that is exactly what they are and so there is no solid conclusion to really any of them I am hoping this gets a season 2 just because {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}We are getting the actual tournament...or atleast that is expressly what they set up so we will see. |

The physics, graphics and endings for 3 sucked ass and were marginally improved in 4. To this day, my favorite of the series is 2, followed by Black |

I just watched episode 5. I am enjoying it a lot so far. It's just fun--good, goofy, over the top fun. But with enough heartwarming moments too to give the show a bit of depth--like the scene where John and Quiet bond in the cinema. Brilliant scene.
If they ever make a Fallout series, hand it over the creators of this. I reckon they will totally nail the Fallout vibe.

Binged over the weekend and enjoyed it. I wasn't familiar with all of the Twisted Metal games and had to go back and do some research. Love the number of references thrown in, including the cameos in episode seven.
Sweet Tooth steals the show and I'm looking forward to a second season if it's already in the works.

Everyone rightfully giving Sweet Tooth his flowers for this show.
BUT IMO there is one character who in his single appearance basically steals his thunder.
Jason Mantzoukas as Preacher was amazing and dude deserves more attention for this because he was as f***ing off the wall as anyone else on this show.

i finished the series.
So much better than it had any right to be. One of the best vidoe game adaptations--weirdly because it didn't have that much vehicle on vehicle combat which is the core of the Twisted Metal series. But despite that, it just managed to be a great show.
It was the characters who made it work -- the cast who shared scenes together had great chemistry. Especially John Doe and Quiet.

I just got done with this. Started it a couple of nights ago and finished it this morning. It was better than it had any right to be. I also liked the nods to even 3 and 4. I also did not expect Pit Viper to be in the show.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I literally just finished watching this show, because for whatever reason HBO Max in Latin America decided to stream the show and upload an episode a week as if it wasn't months old by now.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I didn't love the setting, the humor was more miss than hit for me and I really hated how some characters were portrayed (looking at you, Preacher), but I ended up being hooked. Stone was a great villain, John Doe and Quiet had fun chemistry, Twister was cool as hell and Joe was awesome (let him be the voice as well you cowrads).
My two real complaints are the lack of tournament, which is about to change, and the lack fo any Rob or White Zombie tracks. How do you use licenced music for a Twisted Metal show and not AT LEAST have Dragula somewhere in there?

Actually what's funny is it's a good time to bump it because they announced season 2 tonight. |
