Anthony Mackie is in the driver’s seat in Twisted Metal, Peacock’s adaptation of the hit PlayStation video game franchise. The half-hour live-action TV series stars Mackie (Captain America: Brave New World) as John Doe, a motor-mouthed, amnesiac milkman who competes in the ultimate contest of wreckage and devastation: the demolition derby known as Twisted Metal. When the mysterious Raven (Scream‘s Neve Campbell) hires Doe to deliver a package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland with a car thief named Quiet (Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s Stephanie Beatriz), he’ll have to outrace, outlast, and outgun savage marauders in winner-take-all car combat.

Twisted Metal Series Reviews
Twisted Metal currently sits at 68% approval from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Writes Cade Onder in ComicBook‘s spoiler-free Twisted Metal series review, “The Twisted Metal TV series seems to prove that The Last of Us was not a fluke for PlayStationProductions, a new production company designed to faithfully adapt theconsole-maker’s vast library of franchises to television and film. WhileTwisted Metal is very different from The Last of Us, the new Peacockseries maintains the DNA of the IP that fans hold dearly while makingit accessible to a new audience. This may come as a bit of a surprise,as some were put off by the marketing to the show, but it manages tomake itself an appealing new offering for Peacock subscribers and a showmostly worthy of the branding it represents.”
