Crashing

From the first season, i loved this show. I've always been a Judd Apatow fan he has the best sense of humor. And this show is also a example of his great works. It's like really casual, real and entertaining... You'll get to kinda see the behind the scenes of stand-up comedy in NYC which can be really entertaining, funny and cool. Pete Holmes is amazing in the show and every episode is a blast. And also because most people in the show play themselves or character's close to themselves, every character in the show is really well acted and written and the whole thing comes together with the good writing and directing this show has, to create a really good TV-Series. I would follow Pete's story for 10 more seasons really. I can't believe why this show is being cancelled, that really sucks. I absolutely love this show and every thing about it.

I didn't like Pete Holmes right away, his good boy persona annoyed me at first but over time really grew on me, which is exactly what he does to the other characters on the show. While he is a comedian and the show is often funny, it also often focuses on Pete's insecurity and loneliness which is very relatable. This show has a genuine sweetness at it's core that is seldom seen on TV today. I found this series to be refreshing and entertaining and was disappointed to hear it was not picked up for another season. The show also give a unique behind the scenes look at how comics come up through the NY comedy scene and features lots of great cameos.

An excellent show! Pete Holmes succeeds to make a funny show, while having lots of cameos from famous people in the stand-up industry. The plot is great, and the relationship between Pete and his wife are interesting, and evolving each episode. It is really nice to watch the progress of Pete, trying to evolve his career as a comedian. Also, I really like the contrast between the naivete of Pete and the sarcasm of the stand-up world. A really great show. Recommended!

Been watching this new HBO series called "Crashing" and I must say that it is funny and crazy with a poor guy who simply can't have anything to go his way, he can't get no breaks! It's the tale of a want to be New York comic who drives a rattle trap car named Pete(Pete Holmes)who finds it a struggle to get on stage as all he can do is pay for open mic night, then his school teacher wife Jess(Lauren Lapkus)leaves because Pete just can't spice up the sex life as he's just not aggressive or a freak in bed! So now the struggle is on the road from club to club, yet Pete is helped along the way by some other comedians(watch for appearances from Artie Lange, T.J. Miller, and Sarah Silverman). Overall good funny series that's a fun watch as you root for an underdog guy like Pete who wants to become a great comic. As sometimes you have to crash and burn like Pete before you have success.

What was once a modestly entertaining show for two seasons, has become that and more in its third season.

Watching comics fail (in this quasi-reality tv format) goes back at least as far as Gary Shandling Show, so I suppose it's a bit refreshing to watch things turn around and go Pete's way for a change.

(All that, plus Madeline Wise is a treat to watch!)
