A new column I launch today which is called, In The Spotlight, as you can read above. I want to highlight TV shows that really surprised me, which I really find entertaining and usually more than I anticipated. In fact, not only a TV show but also when an episode grabs me in a certain way! It's not that this will be updated on a regular basis, at least, this is not what I expect. Just when I get excited about a show or a specific episode I am watching! I expect that most of the time it will be about a new show, but it certainly is possible an old(er) show can be in the spotlight also! My first one is "Twisted Metal"!
Twisted Metal (2023)
2024/07/15
Recently I started to watch “Twisted Metal” and although I was not expecting much, I have to say it truly surprised me, and not only me but my wife too! We both are enjoying this quirky little show. All episodes are approximately 30 minutes long, it is about a man, John Doe (Anthony Macky), who does pick up and deliver packages from one place to another in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. What he does is called a Milkman. Even though it is a cruel world, he seems to enjoy it. Then he gets an opportunity at a chance at a better life, he must pick up a package all across the country. At first he passes up the opportunity because so much can happen in such a long ride.
He however quickly reconsiders and takes on the job. Early on his way he meets up with Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz), he calls her quiet because he thinks she cannot speak and together they go on this adventure together. Quiet recently lost her brother to Stone (Thomas Haden Church), who believes he has to restore order into this crazy world. His order however is not for the faint hearted, he doesn’t mind killing, like he did with Quiet’s brother.
Yes, it is a quirky, a bit weird show, the guy called Sweet Tooth is the best example how weird this show is, but at the same time, it is really fun, it has emotion, drama, lots of humor and just lots of silly stuff happening constantly. If you haven’t yet checked out “Twisted Metal”, make sure you do, I don’t think you will be disappointed! And what’s more, the show has been renewed for a 2nd season! IMdB
