Sheltered suburbanite Pete dreams of a big-city career in comedy, but his wife, Jessica, has other ideas. Childhood sweethearts no more after he finds her in an uncompromising position with another man, Pete is suddenly homeless and frantically re-evaluating his priorities. As he attempts to find comfort in the rough-and-tumble New York comedy scene, the aspiring funny man bunks on other people's couches while learning hard lessons about life and himself. Created by and starring Pete Holmes, with Judd Apatow as a co-executive producer, "Crashing" draws on Holmes' own experiences as a comedian, presenting an inside look at the fickle world of stand-up comedy.

Emily St. James Vox Few TV shows have captured the very specific ways that stand-up comedy can become a sort of proxy war among the comics who share a stage than HBO's Crashing. Feb 19, 2019 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times This is the kind of TV we should watch - but also listen to. Really listen. Feb 8, 2019 Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail Crashing...is also back for a third season, and it's one of those series that just gets better. Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal Many broadcast sitcoms follow a similar path with their stars but this has the benefit of HBO's freedoms. It lets Holmes feel awkward and experience plenty of things outside his comfort zone. Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Chris Osterndorf The Daily Dot Season 3 of Crashing is relentlessly entertaining and admirably ambitious, if not occasionally patronizing. Rated: 3/5 Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) The comedy-drama Crashing...veers in a didactic direction this season, but does so with more finesse. Rated: 3/5 Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest final 8 episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review Sara K This season really shows Pete's personal growth and how his personal growth is reflected in the trajectory of his career success. I think the way he ended the relationship with Kat and that whole relationship was not well developed. It was just loosely used to develop Pete's character. They make Kat "outrageous" to justify dehumanizing and discarding her when previously her character is grounded and logical. And then he just magically, pops back in with Ally. (When he also ghosted her for being a "fragile jealous female" in a previous episode. Where is his growth when it comes to communication with females instead of shutting down and running away? Did he ever learn to face his freeze and flight trauma response? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review Audience Member An even better plot and characters. Pete has amazing character development and his friends don't lack in comparison. Although the series is cancelled, I believe this is a really nice wrapped-up ending. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I've never been a big Pete Holmes fan but he has finally gound his perfect space with this show. So many awesome cameos, it's a trip! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Great show!! CANT WAIT FOR A SEASON 4!! I almost dumped my HBO subscription but then got hooked on Crashing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The best season of crashing so far and by a substantial amount. While the show sticks to its guns by having Pete Holmes' innocuous fictionalized self interact with more established lightly-fictionalized comedians, the show really excels when it develops even further than this. In light of the #MeToo movement, Crashing comes off as progressive by acknowledging disgraced comedians (without name dropping), and even having a whole episode that addresses the stigma. MC, Middle, Headliner is quite possibly a series' best episode, that touches on both sexual harassment and un-PC comedy, and features a stark scene near the end that is easily the most intense that this otherwise gentle comedy has gotten. Pete Holmes' character is also more developed this season, finding more woes with romance, and struggling to have his comedy appeal to his Catholic background, and the scenarios are always insightful, and never preachy. With an evident amount of talent both behind and in front of the camera (Obvious Child director Gillian Robespierre helms six episodes this season), one can make an assessment that Crashing is finally living up to it potential...that assessment would be accurate! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
