| TV Rewind | Crashing: Friends 2.0, Brit style |
The crash, made by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, is an updated pint for TV friends living in closed houses. However, despite the defeat, it is refreshing.

What is a collision?
The crash follows twenty-five living together and roaming life, work, friendship and love. In its face, the mind is made for death and does not sound like anything we have never seen before. However, what makes it so refreshing is its powerful and subtle writing.
Here, for 20 days they stay in a disused hospital. It took me a while to realize that in the UK, old buildings are being rented out, without much renovation.
What works for crashes?
Crashes have several characters in a short series, but the personality here is different enough that you can invest and be their root.
The show opens with Phoebe Lulu crossing the hospital compound to surprise her best young friend Anthony. Traditionally, the first episodes of such shows are spent on boring introductions, but Crashing passes in a fun way. The plot to hunt down the trick helps to speed things up, and by the end of the episode, the power of the relationship, the features and interests of each character are clear.

And, unlike other sitcoms, the supporting characters here are not just telling the story of Lulu and Anthony. Their private sites are very rich, offering you as much as the audience. For example, the issue between Sam and Fred involves enough to keep you invested.
Crashing content can easily be described as fatigue, but it is done with great care so that it does not feel completely confusing.
