3.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise that has Potential, February 2, 2010

This review is from: Crash: Season 1 (DVD)

This is a difficult series to review. I would say that it is less than the sum of its parts.

There are several storylines that are extremely entertaining:

(1) the has-been rock and roll producer who wants to find one final "star act" before his career (and life) goes down in flames;

(2) the woman who suspects that her estranged father was always right about her husband's career prospects;

(3) another woman who suspects that her lover may be a mob enforcer/ contract killer;

(4) an illegal alien who is attempting to make it in America -- crossing the border with only the bloody shirt on his back.

However, I thought that each of these stories would have been better told as four distinctive full length movies than as they are presented here as a (very loosely) interwoven story.

The acting in the series is strong as is the writing in the majority of the episodes. But, in the 2nd Season, I would like a rationale as to why I should view this series as one complete narrative as opposed to a collection of fascinating short stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Moran Atias - Do I Really Need to Say More!, January 11, 2012

This review is from: Crash: Season 1 (DVD)

There are much more than 2 good reasons (as referenced by the title) to watch this. I saw the show in real time while this was Starz Networks entree to a show with a serial format. I came to this being offered as a DVD when checking Amazon to see if there are other works available by Ms. Atias and was somewhat surprised by the fact that this fine show had only a handful of reviews.

Amazon does an excellent job by way of an overview of the show. Like the movie of the same name, Crash offers multiple story lines that at some point intersect (the style made popular by Pulp Fiction)

My personal favorite story line, of course, involves Ms. Atias, as the much younger wife of a Gypsy leader (yes there are gypsies in the USA) and the cop played by Ross McCall. One of my favorite lines was when Ross McCall was asked how he could get involved with a married gypsy woman and he replied "I thought she was a Latina!"

Kudos to the writers that produced a script that allowed Moran Atias to be both controversial and in a near perpetual state of undress. If she is not on your "bucket list", she should be!

This review is from: Crash: Season 1 (DVD)

Crash is an outstanding show, the actors are all strong and the stories are very interesting. While watching you wonder what happend to so and so. I can't wait for season two, great writing and I compare it to the suspense of "The Shield"
