The Twisted Metal TV show was a success?

Decent reviews and decent viewership, writing was average but in these days it could of been a lot worse.

The writing was average, but it was also a show about twisted metal.

I honestly had no expectations going into it, and I was pleasantly surprised. The story was coherent, albeit kind of shallow, but it was a fun journey into this twisted metal world. The characters were likeable enough that I wanted to keep watching to see them develop, and it just hit a bunch of the things I wanted to see out of the series. Lots of Easter eggs if you know what you're looking for. I really couldn't ask for a better show about a game I barely played back in the day. Honestly I think the shallow story of the games really lended itself to the writers being able to take it in any direction they wanted.

I f'n loved it, Anthony Mackie was a fantastic lead, and Will Arnet and Samoa Joe were funny AF as Sweet Tooth, can't wait for next season, when things really start happening.
