Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

A Major Disappointment

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

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.

Crashing is a comedy series that revolves around a group of 20-30 year olds living together as property guardians of a hospital. I really liked the setting of the show and the characters grew on me right from the start.Although there isn't really much here in terms of storyline, there was just something unique about it that kept me watching. The performances of all the cast were spot on and each character had their own traits. The show relies heavily on sexual jokes and crude stuff such as puking up on food and poo in the bedroom, so obviously it's not going to be for everyone.Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the writer and main star) is a very similar character to Fleabag (her other 2016 show) and so she is hilarious once again. Kate was an awkward character in the first 2-3 episodes but in the last few episodes she provided a lot of laughs. All of the guys were funny also but my favourite character has to be Melody, there was something edgy about her and I enjoyed her scenes the most.The show is predictable in a sense that its pretty obvious which characters will end up with each other, but there's only 6 22 minute episodes so it's well worth checking out. I finished it in two sittings and I really did enjoy every second of it. It's good for a quick laugh. I hope for a 2nd series soon.

Yes its vulgar, yes its rude but this is one of the best comedies TV has offered for some time.Really good acting, likable characters and fun storyline. Not something to watch with your parents but not something to be missed. Its not the sort of comedy that will make you wee with laughter at every minute but there are some proper laugh out loud moments and some very likable characters. Please let there be many more series of this. Im now just filling because IMDb insists I write a certain amount so I will now talk about why sprouts should be re branded as cute baby sprouts and should be served in nappies.

I have really loved the new Channel 4 sitcom Crashing, after 5 episodes of its first series. The show features a number of different characters, all with more depth and development than your average comedy show. The writing is very sharp and often hilarious, there is brilliant chemistry between the mostly young cast-members (with some added gravitas courtesy of Adrian Scarborough), and the action whistles along. Each of the characters has a believable, absorbing plot arc and every episode culminates in a riotous climax. My advice is to stick with the show past the first episode, which maybe isn't as straightforwardly hilarious or enjoyable as the rest of the series as there's a fair amount of character introduction and scene-setting. Overall, this is a remarkably accomplished comedy from a hugely exciting first-time sitcom writer. if you're prepared for the odd crude gag and some glorious silliness - you will not be disappointed. I'm looking forward to the second series already!
