    I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

    This series begins promising enough but runs out of steam by the second episode, featuring a hard exterior but with a soft, creamy inside. Biggest problem is that the script is not funny enough to support many of the attempts at jokes. The ensemble acting is a bit amateurish. The underlying and persistent rom com story lines don't have enough punch to ding their subjects and the whole thing is so sloppily assembled you wish someone had rescued the crew from this dull ride. The worst part is the main character, played by the writer, is such an asshole you just don't care about her - or any other character. It seems like the people behind this haven't a clue about how to retain the irreverence while making sharp observations of human nature and tickling your funny bone at the same time. This should be funny, not merely amusing. If there is going to be another second set of episodes, re-casting should be top priority. An editor for Waller-Bridge wouldn't hurt. This kind of show should have laugh out loud moments (like the much sharper White Gold) and a tightness that pulls it all together. But it just sits there.

    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.

    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.

    Wow! I am completely Crushing on this Spectacular Series, Crashing, on Netflix! I found it by accident searching for something new to enjoy. I am only 3 episodes into it's 6 episode first season. and it's already captured my heart and funny bone, it is That Good!It is Original - Quirky - Adventurous - Fresh - Relatable - Laugh Out Loud - Fun - Smart - Brilliant Cast, Acting, Writing -Completely Lovely with Heartfelt moments mixed with comedy and all flows so nicely. I Love all of the characters, yet cannot get enough of SAM! Jonathan Bailey is the Incredible Actor who plays Sam. I am mesmerized by him & his acting and style. He reminds me of a good friend from college who was the LIFE of Every Party yet also had so much heart and soul! I recommend Crashing as Must Watch TV got Anyone who is tired of the same usual boring predictable shows and wants to come ALIVE by watching something so fresh, unique and full of Life! Thank you so much Crashing! I sincerely hope the powers that be will make a Season 2 of this Series as we all deserve More of these interesting characters as their full stories unfold with more fun adventures and heartfelt moments.
