Crashing through TV



Last night I saw Crash. No, I’m not talking about the Oscar-winning movie but the new TV show, thematically based on the movie.

I saw the first 2 episodes of the show last night. I thought they were pretty good, lots of potential (character-wise and story-wise).
All new characters (hence a thematic link rather than a character spin-off), including Denis Hooper’s who has a really cool storyline (Emmy anyone?). I love the cast.
It is certainly not your average cop show, dealing more with characters rather than cases, all in a more blunt fashion. You really fell for them and get to witness their journey through life. And the end of Episode 2 is just awesome.
A really interesting start for this brand new Starz show.

So is everyone getting on the “TV Show” wagon now?
