    Collision is a terrific example of an unconventional and original story, weaving suspense, irony, mystery and emotional turmoil in the aftermath of a deadly multicar freeway pileup.

    Collision is a satisfying emotional journey through the twists, turns, and overpasses of a dozen or so lives.

    It’s no “State of Play,” or even “Five Days,” the 2007 BBC-HBO abduction drama that it resembles in structure and pace. But it’s still sufficiently intelligent and textured that it makes the sparse American competition in the closed-end crime drama category--the “Jesse Stone” movies, “Harper’s Island”--look silly by comparison.

However the program wasn't original at all, the dialogue was a little labored in parts and most of the back stories of people's lives were easy to uncover. Also, it was probably best to record it and watch it one episode after the other, to bypass adverts and watch it as intended.… Full Review »
