    Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
    Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
    Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
    Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
    dale-14081 Cringe...laugh out loud...cry...take a deep breath...laugh until you wet yourself!
    Simon Almqvist I was quickly acquinted and introduced to the concept of the show and in a nice way. The characters are funny and it's a good mix of traits. However, I slowly realized the INSANE amount awkwardness this show builds on. Try watching it and find a single scene where they are not revealing secrets, sexually hinting at things or making a fool of themselves. You won't.It all culminated in the curry-dinner episode (I believe it was ep. 4) that was just awkward upon awkward upon awkward upon fringe upon awkward. It's too much, to be honest. It's tiring to watch. I understand a lot of the comedy builds on that awkwardness but to make the show bearable they must step it down a notch.
    Charles Herold (cherold) After being blown away by Fleabag, the six-episode series written by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, I promptly looked to see what else she had written and discovered this gem.In Crashing, a handful of people are living as property guardians, an English thing in which people get low rent in exchange for living in and watching after buildings (an anti-squatting measure).The series begins with the arrival of Lulu (Waller-Bridge), who has had a friendship/unfulfilled flirtation with one of the residents forever. He's engaged, and things get very messy.At the same time, a crazy, beautiful artist falls for a schlubby middle-aged guy and a man constantly after women finds his sexuality is a bit more complicated than he thinks. It's a series about young people (well, young to someone my age) who don't really know who they are and are determined to make as many mistakes as possible in finding out. The series is consistently funny and wacky and the actors are excellent. Even the most unrealistic elements (like the aforementioned artist/shlub relationship) offer more internal logic than these tropes usually get.While not as beautifully crafted as Fleabag, the series is once again the work of a first-rate comedic writer. I just wish Waller-Bridge would produce series that were more than 6 episodes long. I hope she also writes a movie at some point.
    Charlie Edwards Before watching Crashing I had no idea what to expect, but I was not disappointed. Crashing follows a group of unlikely friends who to save money on rent decide to move into a disused hospital. With a group of 7 living in the hospital it can sometimes be quite hard to make them all unique, however Crashing succeeds at this creating brilliantly convincing and interesting relationships between all the characters. It's genuinely funny; there's great visual gags, toilet humour (the good kind) and intelligent jokes. It doesn't take itself too seriously in the slightest however still manages to convey some honest emotional moments. Let's hope for another series! 10/10
