What all drivers have they introduced?


Potential spoilers though I’ll leave out plot points.



John Doe, Sweet Tooth, Raven, Agent Stone, Preacher, Bloody Mary, Dollface, Twister, Flower Power, Mr. Slam, and a few more obscure ones all appear. Calypso has a presence too.

Several of the iconic rides show up as well. There’s a couple of other passing driver references as it clearly appears they’re setting up a season 2 which I am 100% down for.

Shadow was pretty badass as well, I need to see if I can get TM2 for the PS5, could be my favorite game of all time.

The trailers make it seem like way too much of a comedy.


The frick? You want a gritty, realistic view of a story where one of the characters surgically attaches his body to a couple tractor tires and calls himself "Axel"?

Likable cast and it’s dumb fun in a good way. If you like Deadpool or Zombieland you’ll enjoy this


Good comparison. I’ve watched the first 3 and it’s better than I expected, especially being a Peacock show.

Twisted Metal Black is by far the best game in the series.

$2 a month too much for you?
I'm leaning hard towards this. Definitely enjoyed Ep 1, I might drop a couple bucks just to finish out the season.

Peaock is great. I watch it more than Netflix or Amazon.

Shits dope. Writers take notes, It’s not complicated when adapting a video game just stay true to the story and make it fun.

It really was. Helps that the episodes only last 30 minutes.

The trailers looked like shite, but to my surprise this show is great.

Sweet Tooth stole the show


I don't remember using him alot in the game. He was my favorite character by far on the show.

I’m a few episodes in so far and it’s a pretty fun show. Knows exactly what it’s supposed to be and not trying to do anything more.

Love the video game callbacks and pretty much all of the show was shot in the New Orleans and Slidell area. Some noticeable landmarks so far.

I like this show. Thought for sure it’d be dumb and I turned it on out of pure nostalgic curiosity, but it’s actually entertaining.

Mindless fun is about all you could ask for and that’s what it is.

Oh no I agree. I watch office and P&R on repeat. Poker Face was great too.

I don’t do Paramount or Apple+ currently. I will some time I’m sure.
