Twisted Metal (2023)
Initially clunky, but it gets better
I gave it two episodes and initially I thought that was one too many. Anthony and Stephanie doing their best with clunky dialogue but even their charm couldn't save a show that looks like it blew all it's budget on the music licensing. The driving sequences coordination were awful, cars jump distance to each other in a blink then there's distance again the next frame, really jarring.
Some nice scenery and cinematography but the direction and world building is below par ... especially after the master class that is "The Last of us".
I left the show after those two episodes thinking good riddance, but then I saw a few reviews saying it improved after episode 3 and 4 and ... They were right! Stick with the show and it does improve and it has some good laughs, nice payoffs and setups for potential future seasons.
