After seeing the first promo, I wasn’t sure about it. However, I wanted to give it a shot. I’m glad I did. I loved the show. It’s so much fun. Samoa Joe and Will Arnett make a great Sweet Tooth.
Thing is. It's not twisted metal. It's only twisted metal by name. This is more like if mad Max was a parody. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it for what it was. But don't expect no dark stuff in it like the game was. Also there's no tournament and it's only two episodes with real car combat.
@@extremedee7320i mean, I don't know if making the scene mostly a car combat sequences will make the story any better so I'd say it's for the best they focus more on other stuff
Was incredibly surprised with the overall quality and enjoyment of this show... Haven't enjoyed a show like this in a long long while... Definitely hoping for a Season 2.. 🃏
I’m beyond excited to see Axel and Mr Grimm. I came into this show thinking they’d only incorporate 2-3 characters from the game but nope I was pleasantly surprised. I made a joke being like “imagine if Flower Power was in this show, that’d be absurd” and she’s in the freaking show. We need goofy campy action series like this, it’s a breath of fresh air. I bet season 2’s budget will be crazy, this show must be making a ton of money. I love it so much
Yes I did not expect flower power, pizza boy and drag queen to be there at all 🤣 I love it and I wanna see more from characters that are from neglected TM games as well as weird looking characters like the No face guy from TM Black
@@since2133 hell yeah! I forgot to mention that seeing doll face at the very end was sick. I hope she gets ahold of those big rigs Twister was using because that’s her vehicle from TM black. I also wonder how Calypso will look. Will he look like Carrot Top from the first game or a creepy Jared Leto from the later games? There’s a lot to be excited about
I like what they did with Flower Power. Also Pit Viper is in the show, she was the only vehicle in Twisted Metal 1 to never return. They made a reference to every game. There was even a shot of kids playing with RC cars that looked like the ones from small brawl.
I watched the whole show in one sitting and I thought it was fun as hell I never played the games so this was my introduction to the series definitely excited for season 2 plus Sweet Tooth was a fun character.
Great review. When I saw the first trailer I rolled my eye's, after reviewers with early viewing bashed it, I was curious, and after episode 3 it took off for me, but I have to admit, I was singing the Thong Song along with Sweet tooth and John Doe, hahaha. I really hope we get a season 2.
Also the thing that *drove* me to watch this series is that first title card popping up and then playing my boo, then realised this series was gonna be a *highway* of a trip, Till the next season hope they include Axel attached with his big wheels
I was also very pleasantly surprised. Sweet Tooth is amazing. They can not kill him off for real, it would be a huge mistake. He is the glue that held the show together if you ask me. Let's see if they get his ice cream truck to turn into the robot!
I was dreaming first. I was skeptical and hesitant but once I did start watching I became infested. Your right also about after the 3rd episode, I became completely hooked. I hope session two is the same but also better.👍🏾
This show was way better than I thought it would be. Had a good time with it 👍It's weird to me that anyone would expect a serious take on the Twisted Metal games. It's not Assassins Creed. If anything they bring more heart to it than the games deserve.
I had a lot of fun with this. I think it's cool that this season essentially serves as a prequel to the actual tournament. And the ending of episode 8 was surprisingly emotional with that use of My Immortal. I do wish they kept Sweet Tooth as a psychotic antihero who tries being friends with people that are honest with him.
I'm surprised how really good Twisted Metal show is especially the games themselves has fairly a plot but mostly barebones. The show managed to use the source material pretty well Also I played every Twisted Metal games even Small Brawl.. yes that one and Twisted Metal 4. The show portrayal of Sweet Tooth/Needles Kane is pretty much one package in the mix. The humor of TM1-3 and the sadistic murderer of Black and 2012 and also he has Harold, the bag he was befriended from Lost ending of Twisted Metal 1
You brought up so many good memories of me sitting in my moms car waiting for her just playing twisted metal on the psp. Then going home and playing on ps2 vs. my brothers. Man. Great review Chris. I'll be checking this out.
Lol that thumbnail. I was shocked when I saw the other day that not only was the whole show out and no one talking about it, but it had a 97. Definitely gonna check it out.
I actually think this Sweet Tooth is better than the serious psychopath from the more recent games. I saw a scene from(I think the 2015 game) and he seemed a bit too serious for a crazy man in a clown mask.
You know I was really undecided going in the watching this show, I did play the game growing up but I'm not into the lore like I am to the lore of Mortal Kombat. I like what they did, They set it up perfect for people like me that's not familiar with it. I feel as if it's more of a prequel to the actual Twisted Metal race. Definitely deserves a season 2. Its leaps and bounds better than what Disney plus called Marvel Secret Invasion.
Honestly you didn’t miss much in lore, more cameos from different games. Also I 100% agree with you this being a prequel to the twisted metal tournament that will be season 2
Dude, you nailed that review! That’s exactly what I have been telling people! For a tournament game adaptation they did an amazing job getting me invested in the characters and excited to see what happens next! Looking forward season 2!
Neve Campbell plays a Badass villian known as Raven and she's already my favorite character in the show. I can't wait to see how this scinero goes down between her and John Doe. It will be interesting.
It really was a better than all expectations. The cast of both movie and tv actors was so perfect. And the creation of quiet as a new character is so in line with every new game that comes out always has a few new members. The contrast between game and show was very well done. Loved it.
I totally agree with everything you said. It was very campy especially that first episode, but I made it through and I enjoyed the season. Hope we get a season 2.
0:46 sorry Chris imma have to check out of this vid and watch later I want to finish this show before I hear anyone else’s opinion so I’m not swade one way or the other but keep up the grind
I'm a newcomer to twisted metal and I enjoyed it and i would recommend it to other newcomers to twisted metal as well Edit: more of my thoughts on the show... I think they released that first clip as either to downplay expectations because of the writers strike or a meta humor thing where in real life people were saying, "this is going to be an awful show and sweet tooth" and when the actual show releases the characters canonically say, "that was an awful show, sweet tooth" or i could be overthinking this
from 1 chris to thee other, i felt the same way you did in the beginning. i wasnt feeling the very first episode, very cheezy, i was hoping 1 or both knew how to fight really well and they didnt. but as it went on i really started to enjoy this and i enjoyed it a lot towards he end. i understood why he was a character who couldnt fight, i enjoyed her back story. i never played this game so i didnt know what to expect but it ended up being a really enjoyable series. looking forward to season2.
I hope it gets green lit for a season 2 cause they already said that it would be a short turn around because it was only a year from when it was announced to when it was released this July which is phenomenal for that big of a budget behind the show
Would have preferred an anthology but I dig what they're doing. Hoping the second season is more my bag. It was super cool seeing Mr Grim's original design.
I was disappointed when I seen Sweet Tooth sing the Thong Song, but then I remembered Twisted Metal was always goofy and it wasn't until Black where it went grim dark so I gave it a chance and loved it. Also love how Marcus (Sweet Tooth) got his darker name Needles
That was the issue, I believe. People seem to remember Twisted Metal Black and Twisted Metal 2013. This show was obviously a homage to the early PS1 Twisted Metal games.
I agree about the trailer. I thought the show was going to be abysmal so I went in with the absolute lowest expectations which left me absolutely LOVING it. Frankly, this show ended up being better in every aspect than I ever thought it would be and I left happy.
Thanks for making this video, it helps to raise the chance of this show getting a 2nd season. I'm excited to see what comes next, till then I'm playing Twisted Metal Black on the ps5 again!
Cool review. I never and I mean never watch shows on Netflix, Peacock, etc. I just don't think it's productive. However, after watching episode one of TM I subscribed to Peacock and binged Series one. My favorite character was definitely Stone! He was great all around and I loved his voice. Sweet Tooth was also disturbingly entertaining. You pulled it together nicely for me. I didn't even realized some of the character flash backs were the same people! Especially Stone. I thought the Mall cop was an entirely different person the whole show. I thought Episode one and 10 were my favorites. I kept saying this is so stupid a lot of times through the middle but kept watching. Great characters and some hilarious voices!
I was pleasantly surprised by this show. Watching the trailers I thought it was going to be terrible but I’m glad I was wrong. The show is perfect by no means but it was good and I enjoyed it. I’m excited for season 2 and seeing the actual Twisted Metal tournament.
Is it me, or has this been a semi- Renaissance year for game adaptations? With the acclaim of The Last of Us, the massive success of Mario, the fun of Twisted Metal, the uniqueness of Gran Turismo (I'll count it, but it could be removed since it's not directly based on the games), and the respect/hype for FNAF, it feels like higher quality than prior years
Been waiting for your review. I was blind sided by how good this ended up being. Going in with low expectations pretty much hyped up all the episodes. Im glad you gave it a shot. Bring on season 2
solid review. however one disagreement is the quiet/john love story. i thought they were happy/mad sooo much. i thought that coulda been written better as a longer burn and not so flip floppy every episode
This is the best review of the show I've seen. I agree with the back and forth between Quiet and John, I think it felt organic and i enjoyed all the drama and story telling and characters throughout the show.
Greatly the ending saved it, coz they set up Calypso's Tournament Which made all the pretty fuckin awesome, sometimes boring snd always campy lead up to that final AMAZING BATTLE alllllll worth it.
It was a nice good time watching it man. I have not played any of the games, but I do know some of it like Sweet Tooth and the car fights. Sweet Tooth was one of the best parts of the show. But it was nice to give the main characters and others more care in the show. Season 2 looks like its going to be another fun ride to watch too.
I'm not a gamer but I loved this show and I watched it all within 24 hours which I don't do with many shows. I want season 2 like right now. Mackie brings a John McClane or Axel Foley vibe which I loved and the whole cast was great.
This show deserves more gratitude for the attention to detail with the characters and cars. Also the story telling was better then a lot of higher budget TV shows that have come out recently. Coming from someone who loved the games and has a very deep nostalgic connection to Twisted Metal 2 in particular, this was a very unexpected hit and gets a 8/10 in my books.
Watched it with my Son not sure what to expect and we freaking love this Show! Sweet Tooth is the best! The show as a whole was visually awesome, funny and had a great story! We can’t wait for Season 2
Did ANYONE else notice Tony Stark's house in episode one?It was overgrown by trees and whatnot, but I recognized it immediately. If anyone's curious, the house shows up around 6:35 into ep. 1. Oh, and we were watching it at the same time! I was binge watching s.1 too. Lol
Put this show on while I painted and ended watching the whole season in one sitting. I loved this show not the best written but my monkey brain was completely entertained. Hopefully they’ll get a season 2 with a better budget for those effects. Might save money if they use fake blood instead of cgi blood?
I felt the exact same way from that first teaser. Also the one with Anthony Mackie dancing to "you're still my sunshine" both just put a horrible taste in my mouth. But I decided to check it out and was sincerely surprised how much I liked it. I don't do most TV shows, (commitment issues), but I definitely ended up binging this one. Once I remembered exactly what the games were about, I was able to embrace the ridiculousness of this series. Like Axel, literally just a dude in-between two big ass tractor tires with rockets strapped on his shoulders. lol That's the source material for this show, so I'm more than okay with how this show played out and like that the just embraced the full of silliness for what it is. Loved that Sweet Tooth got the flaming head in the end, so cool.
Perfect review. Twisted metal is a part of my child and adult hood. I saw the trailers and had NO hope. I watched anyway and i couldn't have been more surprised at how good it is
Ah if you managed to Play Twisted Metal 1 and 2 in PS1. You'll realize that they incorporated the behavior of that Sweet Tooth to this one. So, basically this is a composite Sweet Tooth based from all of the TM Games. Given that TM doesn't really have a solid lore
I barely have any knowledge of the games (I've started playing Black recently and only played a little of the psp one) but this show ruled, was a unique story and world and had a ton of fun with it. Stoked for season 2!
Duuuuude, I bad my earbuds playing while I was shopping, and didn’t realize it had gotten to spoilers. I checked my phone once I heard the bit about a watermelon smashed by a dick 😭
I haven't watched this show yet but it look's and sound's good. I'm definitely going to watch it at some point though. I used to play the game's a good bit when I was younger especially the one's on the PS1 and PS2. So I'm definitely interested in watching this show. I've heard some pretty good thing's about it too.
This gets a 10 out of 10 for enjoyment it might not get a 10 out of 10 for accurate to game wise but they said that they're building it into that come season 2 At the same time u gotta make it your own while paying homage 2 the original!

Loved the show! Thought it would flop but it was so fun and just kept getting better
Agreed!
loved every moment of it, the last episode teared me up and honestly im so glad thie series did well i hope this leads to a new game
I grew up playing the games and loved them, really liked the show also. Hopefully they make more seasons and it inspires them to make new game
I actually think this Sweet Tooth is better than the serious psychopath from the more recent games. I saw a scene from(I think the 2015 game) and he seemed a bit too serious for a crazy man in a clown mask.
I think since black and up he’s been more serious, so I like the nice mix of psycho killer and funny clown they had for the show

Plus the sonic movies
Might as well mention Netflix with its animation library with Arcana, The Cuphead Show, Sonic Prime and Castlevania.
All those are things that happened or started before 2023, so they didn't count
I've been a huge Twisted Metal fan since the PS1 days. I'm hoping thus show is successful so we can get more games and season 2🔥
It's going strong currently
The best way to describe it is zombie land meets death race that would be the absolute best way to describe it 3c Films
I wasn't sure about this show at first but now I can't wait for season 2!!!
I love this show binged watched the entire season on my birthday when it came out!!!!
4:29 the ironic thing is Craig Mazin, the creator of showrunner of The Last of Us, directed Superhero Movie.

I hope that twisted metal gets renewed for a second season
As a die hard Twisted Metal fan I was surprised with how it turned out I enjoyed it
My favorite part was when Sweet Tooth Missiles was laughing just like in the game that was fire 🔥🔥🔥

This show deserves more gratitude for the attention to detail with the characters and cars. Also the story telling was better then a lot of higher budget TV shows that have come out recently. Coming from someone who loved the games and has a very deep nostalgic connection to Twisted Metal 2 in particular, this was a very unexpected hit and gets a 8/10 in my books.
I really enjoyed this show, never played the games but I appreciate the details and the world building. Can’t wait for season 2!!
Watched it with my Son not sure what to expect and we freaking love this Show! Sweet Tooth is the best! The show as a whole was visually awesome, funny and had a great story! We can’t wait for Season 2
Did ANYONE else notice Tony Stark's house in episode one?It was overgrown by trees and whatnot, but I recognized it immediately. If anyone's curious, the house shows up around 6:35 into ep. 1. Oh, and we were watching it at the same time! I was binge watching s.1 too. Lol
Put this show on while I painted and ended watching the whole season in one sitting. I loved this show not the best written but my monkey brain was completely entertained. Hopefully they’ll get a season 2 with a better budget for those effects. Might save money if they use fake blood instead of cgi blood?
Mike Didn't RLY Die... You
Heard Chops OFF-SCREEN,
Because HE Becomes: AXEL!!
I didn't know Sandman was in here. Nice! I might check it out. Loved Small Brawl when I was growing up.
I love 3c makes my day when you upload
I felt the exact same way from that first teaser. Also the one with Anthony Mackie dancing to "you're still my sunshine" both just put a horrible taste in my mouth. But I decided to check it out and was sincerely surprised how much I liked it. I don't do most TV shows, (commitment issues), but I definitely ended up binging this one. Once I remembered exactly what the games were about, I was able to embrace the ridiculousness of this series. Like Axel, literally just a dude in-between two big ass tractor tires with rockets strapped on his shoulders. lol That's the source material for this show, so I'm more than okay with how this show played out and like that the just embraced the full of silliness for what it is. Loved that Sweet Tooth got the flaming head in the end, so cool.
Perfect review. Twisted metal is a part of my child and adult hood. I saw the trailers and had NO hope. I watched anyway and i couldn't have been more surprised at how good it is
When I first started watching, I was hooked and binged the entire season. The show was amazing and kept me entertained. I hope it gets renewed
I didn't think any show could make me so sad and upset about a car dying.
Considering how much work they had to do to establish both the world and characters, it was pretty dope imo.
Hope we get a season 2 👀
Ah if you managed to Play Twisted Metal 1 and 2 in PS1. You'll realize that they incorporated the behavior of that Sweet Tooth to this one. So, basically this is a composite Sweet Tooth based from all of the TM Games. Given that TM doesn't really have a solid lore
I barely have any knowledge of the games (I've started playing Black recently and only played a little of the psp one) but this show ruled, was a unique story and world and had a ton of fun with it. Stoked for season 2!
That shit was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great Review Cris! 👍
Duuuuude, I bad my earbuds playing while I was shopping, and didn’t realize it had gotten to spoilers. I checked my phone once I heard the bit about a watermelon smashed by a dick 😭
Great show !!!! Can't wait for season 2
I haven't watched this show yet but it look's and sound's good. I'm definitely going to watch it at some point though. I used to play the game's a good bit when I was younger especially the one's on the PS1 and PS2. So I'm definitely interested in watching this show. I've heard some pretty good thing's about it too.
This gets a 10 out of 10 for enjoyment it might not get a 10 out of 10 for accurate to game wise but they said that they're building it into that come season 2
At the same time u gotta make it your own while paying homage 2 the original!
