Critic Reviews

Season 3 Review:
In the fifth episode of the season, Crashing hits a peak, particularly since it lets Audrie Neenan offer her own take on his work--and his choice in women. She’s a jewel as mom and a perfect foil for Wise and Holmes. ... If there’s a drawback to this season, it’s the length. Easily, Crashing could have stretched a couple more episodes and shown the aftermath of life in the big leagues.

Season 1 Review:
There is a lot of talk--practical and philosophical--about comedy, and Crashing is very good with the details of low-level nightlife. But what most makes the show entertaining are Pete’s episodic adventures with characters who will help form him, challenge him and wake him from his self-satisfied sleep into a better sort of happiness.

Season 1 Review:
Every aspect of the show seems informed by its main character’s--and creator’s--joy. Plots unfold with rollicking energy, actors ham it up, and the script seems sometimes to read only, “Chuckles abound,” as when Pete and some pals spend a montage mock-surprising one another with excellent news.

Season 2 Review:
As in season 1, the emphasis is on character development rather than cracking up viewers, though Doug Benson, Artie Lange, and Bill Burr inspire chuckles by playing versions of themselves. [12 Jan 2018, p.55]

Season 1 Review:
Although TV has no shortage of shows built around comics and their lives--or for that matter, pulling back the curtain on showbiz--this one captures that moment before success kicks in. Crashing doesn't look like HBO's next great comedy, but based on its opening acts, it has the makings of a pretty good one.

Season 1 Review:
When it’s studying and performing the rituals of that new religion [stand-up comedy], Crashing is a treat, and a worthy new addition to the comedy house of worship HBO has been building for decades. But, like the fictional Pete Holmes, you have to endure some mortification to get there.

Season 2 Review:
For anyone already hooked on Crashing, Season 2 should keep them coming back, and new or unfamiliar viewers will find their patience through Season 1 adequately rewarded. It’s still a bit removed from must-see TV, but Holmes’ second go-round stands out instead of just standing up.

Season 1 Review:
The show could benefit hugely from creating more of a hash out of this immediately fascinating and largely unsparing world. As it stands, however, Crashing remains fixated on a single proverbial wet noodle, seemingly unaware that wet noodles tend to be a lot more satisfying in groups.
