Sacred Symbols+, Episode 321 | Twisted Metal (Peacock) Review Discussion and Spoilercast (Season 1, Episodes 3-6) (Patreon)

By popular demand, we return with our continued thoughts on Peacock's Twisted Metal series, this time examining episodes three, four, five, and six of the 10-part first season. And we're frankly glad we kept on watching, as what we would deem a decent show early on becomes good and solid during this particular run. On his journey to New Chicago, John Doe continues to encounter an ever-expanding cast of characters that imperil his life at every turn, all while he's on the clock to complete a delivery for a promising client. Likewise, we learn much more about the mysterious Quiet, whose incessant moodiness gives Twisted Metal a bit of a Ratchet & Clank 1 feel. Just get along, already! Gratefully, by episode six, they do, allowing us to focus on so much of what Peacock's foray into campy car combat gets right. And when you learn about what she and her brother experienced in the OC, well, you may just better understand her disposition.
