Isn’t it an ancient video game franchise?

Edit - yes, mentioned as such in the trailer :o

Clearly supposed to be fun rather than dramatic, so maybe there’s hope!

Enjoyed the whole series via VPN, funny, entertaining and better than a lot of stuff that Netflix keeps churning out. Well done to Peacock for nabbing this series, reminded me of the Evil Dead tv series in some of the violence and gore sections with it's humorous take on things much like the video game.

Mad Max meets Fast & Furious?
I would have thought you knew what Twisted Metal was in the gaming scene! It's a classic that began on the PS1 :)

Weird choice for an adaptation, an ancient game series that was never really popular with critics or players.

I wouldn't say that, I really enjoyed the series and the 2012 reboot got quite good reviews.

It got pretty average reviews and that was over a decade ago! It's just a strange choice for an adaptation. I'm sure if you asked people to list what they wanted adapted it wouldn't even be in the top 100.

Wrong.
