Has anyone watched it? There's 10 episodes.

 

[kondorBonk]

Must watch for Mike "spoon man" Mitchell.

 

[AJUMP23]

Did it just drop in the middle of the night?

with a whimper.

 

[jason10mm]

Very curious about this. I find Anthony Mackie to be a very bland leading man, but charming in interviews so hopefully he has more humor or something.

I do like Stephanie Beatriz so hopefully this show earns that TV-MA rating for more than just violence and language.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Will probably binge over the weekend if its remotely ok

 

[OneBigPuss]

Anthony Mackie is playing the main role so hard pass for me.

 

[violence]

I’m not seeing it. But hey, new Futurama. I’m out of the loop.

 

[badblue]

I didn't know this existed.

 

[DrFigs]

It's pretty good

 

[violence]

I hope Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett show up.

 

[DrFigs]

Also the show is not on Hulu??? it's on peacock

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Watched the first episode, pretty fun. Turn your brain off kinda fun.

 

[Eotheod]

Horrible first episode, not much to it and I'm pretty sure they tried to chuck a Sony logo in every shot that had a CD. Old mate is boring as paint and the action is laughable.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

heard it was decent

 

[West Texas CEO]

This is my teenage wet dream.

 

[TheMan]

Watched 15 mins of the first episode and I was not hooked at all. Plan to give another shot tonight though

 

[Revolutionary]

First episode was decent. Still think that Neve Campbell is Calypso, despite how hard the show wants us to think she's Raven (edit: I was wrong)
Second episode was kinda rough... seeing Sweet Tooth turned into a Sisqo-loving joke like this must be tough for David Jaffe lol

I'll try to check out the rest of the season during the weekend.

 

[StueyDuck]

I had a good time. You guys need to really get over the whole "this isn't exactly the game" aspect of it.

It's no worse than 98% of the TV that exists. If you just turn up to have some fun and laugh a few times, cringe others, you will end up enjoying it

Not sure what else there was to expect from this show, considering the game practically has no story I think they did a good job

 

[DrFigs]

I've now seen all the episodes. It's a really fun show. I thought for sure i would hate it.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I'll echo thoughts from another thread but keep it short.

I went in expecting trash after the trailers etc. It isn't the game's world but it was adapted to the medium insnaely well. The 1st season is mainly setting up this world for future season or seasons and did a great job of that. I actually loved the show's 1st season and had a 100 percent turn around from where I was before it came out.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Will this be going on any of the UK streaming services in the foreseeable future?

 

[M.W.]

It's really fucking stupid and Neve Campbell is pure shit in it. With that said, it's still a good time.

 

[Revolutionary]

Finished up the season, and I'm shocked because the bastards did it... they actually managed to make a decent TV show based on Twisted Metal. Lots of fan service, and I'm actually looking forward to a second season.

I liked it. I must have missed how Quiet started talking though, wasn't her tongue cut out?

So S2 is all about the "Game of Death" style competition? Was that the premise of the games?

Soundtrack was banging, so many classic 90's tunes.

 

[Bwesh]

I liked it. Sweet Tooth was nice. I hope we get Dark Tooth too.

 

[gow3isben]

Seen 2 episodes

Okay to decent, enough that I’ll finish.

Not Great.

 

[F0rneus]

Glad to hear it did great. I started off as pretty meh but by the end I was loving it. I think a S2 is all but confirmed now at after that ending (where the show should have begun lol), I cannot wait for more.

And I didn't expect deep cut references to Twisted Metal 3 of all things.

 

[IntentionalPun]

It get's pretty fucking amazing a few episodes in.

Just pure absurd disgusting fun.

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

It’s an ok show - kinda dumb but watchable with a few fun moments.

 

[VN1X]

Halo and Twisted Metal are proof they don't take gamers sirius!!!!!

 

[EverydayBeast]

Low expectations next year they’ll be a game

 

[Fbh]

Ended up watching the whole show, it was better than expected but still pretty bad.
Best part was Sweet Tooth IMO, I think most of his scenes nailed the type of dark humor I wanted from the show. The actual main characters on the other hand feel like they are trying too hard to be funny, and most jokes fall flat.

 

[Dreamin]

Enjoyed it, looking forward to more if it comes

TM is his brainchild.

The same way with Yuji Horii and Dragon Quest, who by the way partially owns the IP.

Most people who are just doing a job for a company don't own IP, the company does.

Yep, he explained as much in a recent video about the show.

I was going to link the video but I can't find it anymore on his YouTube channel... weird.

Edit: Found it, it was a live stream so that's why it wasn't listed under his videos. YouTube integration is fucking up the link so just copy & paste
