Peacock's new Twisted Metal series is getting super positive reviews – and it's safe to say, everyone is pleasantly surprised. In the run-up to its release, the marketing material has torn fans of the video game in which it's based, with many suggesting that it didn't look all that. Well, it's certainly proved the naysayers wrong it seems, with critics describing it as "dark", "campy", and "hilarious".
Starring Marvel's Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, and Neve Campbell, the show follows an amnesiac courier, known as a milkman, who is tasked with ferrying a package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The mission is complicated, though, when he realizes he's being chased by a bunch of murderous marauders. On the journey, he teams up with an axe-wielding car thief named Quiet; can the two of them make it to the end of the road alive?
