Twisted Metal (Peacock) Review Discussion and Spoilercast (S1, E7-10) | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 324

It's time we wrap-up our conversation about Peacock's Twisted Metal TV series, at least for now. We say 'for now' because the show does a great job of setting up a seemingly-inevitable second season (season one was apparently quite successful for the streaming outfit in its first month). And indeed, combing through the final four episodes of this 10 episode run of Twisted Metal was a fun exercise for us, as the series continues to lean into a high level of camp that keeps audiences engaged without being pulled-out of the experience entirely. Is it light on car combat? Definitely. And are some of the characters and relationships a tad bit aggravating? Undeniably. But somehow, some way, the powers-that-be threaded the needle and came up with something that we'd deem "very good" for an IP you'd assume would be quite difficult to deal with in this way. We wonder if you agree.
