Crash

I enjoyed season 1 and could handle the less than stellar acting. Season 2, couldn't even finish it. It was like a bad high school play. Save your time and watch something different.

I totally agree with the comments of "faint119" and everything he says about the TV Series, Crash. If people would stop and think and put everything into perspective, they wouldn't compare it to the movie at all. Sure the movie was great, but this isn't a movie. This is a TV Series. If they did it all in one episode, then what would be left for the other episodes? But, like the movie, there are more similarities then dissimilarities. And what might that be? It's a sequel or a continuation of stories to tell. It's everyday life. The things that we do, the people we run into, our surroundings, our environment. "Crash" get it? I've seen two women have a confrontation, really tearing into one another, only to find out sometime later that they were half sisters and never knew it. Then they felt real bad afterwords, but only because they turned out to be related. Now that's "Crash".

So there are so many stories to tell, out there in our world today, that this series could go on forever. Longer then Law And Order, ER, Gunsmoke, just to name a few. And it wouldn't surprise me at all, if we learned down the road, that some of these Crashes were based on actual events. Sure, they could have a disclaimer like Law And Order, but the similarities could be there.

I'm really enjoying this Series. So fans, with all that being said, just sit back and relax and enjoy a beautiful and wonderful series. And together, let's give it the benefit of the doubt and watch it grow and it may become a part of us. Now that's "Crash"...lol

Like other LA stories of the last 12 to 15 years(on cable primarily)this show wants to give a broad overview of the City of Angels. It has good pedigree considering its creator just came off The Shield. The show also has the humor and sometimes off-kilter meditative quality of the film. The other thing that comes through is that this is the TV show Mulholland Drive might have become had ABC allowed David Lynch to continue.Don Cheadle definitely has delivered a high quality show with Dennis Hopper as its anchor. Lots of great new faces and a few familiar older ones. I've seen some complaints about Ben and Anthony's relationship. Some people read it as slave and master. I'll admit I haven't seen enough of the show yet. We'll see. Right now it seems more familial.

You cannot skip a comparison with film and it is definetely another thing. In spite of the pleasure to see Moran Atias, I stopped at 4th episode. Very slow stories, sex- and betrayal-driven. Nothing of the rithm, intensity, characters, surprising contraddictions of the great film. In the 4 episodes I have seen, I liked Dennis Hopper acting, I loved Moran beauty and nothing else.

First season---most excellent--the transition to the second season and that season thereafter was crap. Dropped story lines, forgotten characters, unresolved plots...just stupid. I loved the first season and thought it was most excellent...I am sorry I cannot say the same for the second season. Everything about this series screams ten seasons easy--- except the writers decided to get the mental apple splatters. It bothers me that such a promising series was sent top the the junkyard due to horrid writing and lack of network support. I appreciate the attempt by Starz to enter the market ala The Sopranos, Weeds, etc. but abhor the lack of support they followed it up with. I will certainly miss watching this show and will miss the pseudo lapd corruption I have come to love in real life and in film.
