Video game adaptations, once the bane of Hollywood, are now becoming more commonplace in movies and TV. The most critically acclaimed adaptations seem to have one thing in common: they’re set in a post-apocalyptic environment. Just look at the mutant-infested, nuclear-scorched wasteland Lucy McLean (Ella Purnell) travels in Fallout or the wilderness that The Last of Us has transformed America into. It also helps that Fallout and The Last of Us feature top-notch casts, alongside creators who know how to translate the game’s world into a television format. But one post-apocalyptic video game adaptation might have flown under your radar: Twisted Metal. Based on the Playstation games, Twisted Metal is a darkly hilarious take on the end of days thanks in no small part to its two leads and the approach it takes toward adapting its source material.
