I never played Black, so this was kind of the version I was hoping for.
This show does make me want to go back and play Twisted Metal Black though, and any others I've missed. Apparently there was one in 2012. I had no idea.
Twisted Metal Black was the peak of the series. The 2012 reboot was pretty bad.
The TV series could have borrowed from the games a little more and explored the history of a character per episode and kept the arena based content.
The invented post-apocalyptic world and "milkman" plot goes against what the original games was about. Sadly the series will be left as a one season wonder.
