I get it. Twisted Metal was a great game from my childhood. I loved it and I came into this not expecting much. After all, it's about a game that is more or less a demolition derby. This had some good actors in it, it had a time proven theme that would catch the attention of generations. It had.....poor writing. Maybe if you can't do it, just let it be. Sometimes they make a series out of something that should have been a movie. Not the case here. You couldn't take away enough of this bad writing to have even a 90 minute movie left over. To quote a classic film, "..on what day did did God create the Twisted Metal TV series and why couldn't he have rested that day too?
