Way back in the Playstation 1 days, I used to play the game Twisted Metal 2 quite a bit. I never really played the first one, and the third game wasn’t as good, but I used to love playing the second one. Driving around in cars, shooting and blowing other cars up? That’s all kinds of fun. Once I bought the original Xbox, though, everything Playstation got pushed to the back burner and eventually faded from thought.

So, when I was randomly scrolling online a while ago, and saw that Peacock adapted Twisted Metal into a TV show, it filled me with both nostalgia and dread. The nostalgia, obviously, is from all the great times I had playing the game. The dread was because there was a very good chance that they were going to mess it up.

Because I have kids, and there’s a lot of stuff in the show I didn’t want to watch while they were around, it took me a while to make it through the 10 episode season. I’m glad I did, though. Don’t get me wrong, it had its flaws, but overall, I liked it.

I don’t want to get into specifics, because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who may want to watch it, but the finale definitely had the car carnage you’d expect from a show carrying the Twisted Metal name.

If you have Peacock, you should give it a try
