We’re in a golden age of video game adaptations, and that’s partially because every game-to-screen jump isn’t trying to be too faithful. In fact, what makes a series great is often how much it differs from its source material. That’s certainly the case with Twisted Metal, the Peacock series that takes the classic demolition derby game and turns it into a gritty but hilarious post-apocalyptic world where delivery driver John Doe (Anthony Mackie) traverses dangerous roads with his sidekick Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz).
Now, after two seasons, John and Quiet are returning for another road trip, but this time, the show is making a big change.
