Peacock's new Twisted Metal series is getting super positive reviews – and it's safe to say, everyone is pleasantly sur🌟prised. In the run-up to its release, the marketing material has torn fans of the video game in which it's based, with many suggesting that it didn't look all that. Well, it's certainly proved the naysayers wrong it seems, with critics describing it as "dark", "campy", and "hilarious".

Starring Marvel's Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, and Neve Campbell, the show follows an amnesiac courier, known as a milkman, who is tasked with ferrying a package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The mission is complicated, though, when he realizes he's being ꩲchased by a bunch of m💖urderous marauders. On the journey, he teams up with an axe-wielding car thief named Quiet; can the two of them make it to the end of the road alive?

calls it "an irreverent, blood-soaked blast" in his glowing review, praising its tongue-in-cheek tone and "blend of Mad Max and Death Race 2000."

"Twisted Metal is a very charming sho༒w that manages to accomplish a lot in its ten 30-minute episodes. Everything comes together in such a satisfying way that it makes Twisted Metal another very successful gaming adaptation,ജ" claims .

"The series is bombastic, and that comes with a lot of flair, some awkward but well-fitting special effects, and a loudness that rings through. It's not perfect, but it's a good time, and th🔜at's all Twisted Metal has ever been," points out.

"Twisted Metal is absurd and hilarious in exactly the ways you want a dystopian Cannonball Run to be," says . "Yes, it matches the games' crude humor but, mostly, it springboards from there and creates its🃏 own dark and warped wasteland sensibilities."

"Twisted Metal is a huge 🌊surprise of a series. Wh⛦ile the story is a fairly simple and straightforward one, the characters and their journey create engaging complexities filled with sarcastic interactions and violent action sequences," adds .

"Fulfills the promise of ultra-violent comic mayhem. It♏ won't win any ne🍬w fans, but should satisfy those who love the Playstation game," says .

"Twisted Metal is a glorious blast of unrepentant carnage. The big surprise is a smarter than expected plot with several clever reveals," writes. "Old school fans and 🌺neophytes alike are going to love this crazy summer joyride."

Not everyone was won over by the action comedy, how﷽ever. 

Twisted Metal is "an aggressively unfunny adaptation of a one-dimensional decades-old PlayStation franchise that few stillꦉ care about, Peacock's R-rated action-comedy breaks down from the start and neve🌳r recovers," writes .

Elsewhere, argues it's nothing ✤more than "a middle-of-the-road action-comedy for Pea🧸cock from the Deadpool and Zombieland dudes."
