Crashing

I was a property guardian for a while, which is why I was intrigued to watch this show. Although it's more about people living their 20-somethings lives in the city than being a guardian, I'm so grateful I found it, as it is, without doubt, the funniest comedy on British TV in years.

In the place of the usual two dimensional, obvious, sketches of characters that frequent so many sitcoms this group feel so real, vulnerable and complex. It's a bonus that this show is genuinely funny, for it could pass for a drama for all it's attention to the emotional aspects of the characters journeys. It's also shot brilliantly. Again, almost like a drama. The cast are fantastic. Particularly the women. But all the actors are as unafraid of playing the ruder comedy as they are to play the emotional truth of each character.

There are so many twists and turns and some hilarious set pieces - the girl getting stuck in her jumpsuit in the toilet... the *mess* Kate makes on the floor... and there is a hilarious prank call that.. as everything else, packs an emotional punch too. I never know what's coming next and that's what's led me back time again.

Lots of people are saying that this show should be longer. It manages to cram so much into such a short amount of time, but I always feel robbed at the end.

Also. Kathy Burke is in it for one episode! Kathy Burke! And she is absolutely HILARIOUS as a posh old soak... a sort of female Uncle Monty. Just so funny. I wish she would do more acting.

In short, it's safe to say I am a Crashing fan and hope there will be many more series in the future. It's restored my faith in eccentric British comedies to be proud of.

Don't get offended ... but gives us a second season you bloody .

Thanks mate, I mean babe 😚

This is Waller-Bridge's finest moment - it is as funny throughout as the first few episodes of fleabag or the best moments of Killing Eve. Amazingly re-watchable and with a heart - but brutal nevertheless. One of the best British comedy series for a long time.

It is my first review in IMDb. Last week I watched this TV series recommended by my roommate. Honestly as a traditional Chinese girl I cannot actually understand the meaning of crashing. At first when I finished the first episode I decided to drop the show, because I think it is disordered. I don't actually understand why two people fall in love and why they quickly have sex with each other. But when I continued I understand. When people are in a bad condition, or they are in the turning point of their life, they will feel confused, maybe that's why Anthony cheat Kate and fall in love with Lulu. I don't like the character Lulu, not means she did't act well. I just think that Lulu is not a girl who can easily find her true love. She looks like independent and in fact she cannot do a living in London without friend's help. She is too outgoing I think. Sorry for my poor vocabulary and grammar.

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
