Can't wait to see this tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to seeing Damien in a full on comedy role. It sounds like Crashing is going to be full of fun and mischief!

 

Just as I was starting to get into the story and get to know the characters it was over! That scene in the bedroom was just so painfully awkward.

Quite a few giggles and laugh out loud moments here so it definitely has potential. And Damien looks gorgeous as Anthony and has some adorkable moments, like the pigeon. And who wouldn't want to hear "no, you kiss me" ?!

Aww, that was alot of fun!  I was cracking up the whole time.  My only complaints are that it moved a bit too fast to let things sink in, it was too short, and the scene with Lulu in the bedroom was a tiny bit forced.  Not the performance, but the actual content.  Otherwise, a very fun start!

Damien in shorts was a nice surprise.  He is most definitely gorgeous as Anthony.  All those lovely smiles!  And him saying things like baby and pumpkin... 

I gotta say, I'm totally loving Jonathan Bailey's Sam!  I do remember him in Broadchurch, but never seen him in anything else.  He's really great at comic delivery.  And the actress that slapped him.  That was a great scene.

 I refer you to my previous post. LOL That actually might be my favorite scene!

 

It was a good slap! I'm sure there are people we would all have wanted to do that to!

One of my friends plays the ukulele but I'm pretty sure she's never spanked Damien with it!

I have to admit I really rather enjoyed that. I'm funny about comedy shows, I tend not to find them funny if you see what I mean. I'm expected to laugh so I don't. I did with this, not falling about laughing but it made me laugh. Sam made me chuckle and so did Lulu. Damien is so far, easily the best thing in it and I loved that fake out scene between him and Lulu, his eyes when the penny started to drop, gosh his eyes ALWAYS manage to pull me in. It never fails. Plus he looked gorgeous, shaggy haired, warm and yummy.

I've left it on the planner because my other half said he wanted to see it (shift worker, was on too late for him to watch with me) and I think he'll like it.

 

 

Oh, my goodness, those eyes!

Thought I'd come on and see what people were saying about this. I was pretty much sold with the opening scene on the bus. There were about three properly (dare I say it) LOL moments. Until yesterday I thought it was an hour long comedy drama on e4, shows how out the loop I am.

On the hashtag reaction was mixed. It was the extreme ends of "this is rubbish" or "this is brilliant" and that is a really good thing. Indifference won't get people coming back. Some felt the humour was too rude but that's my kinda thing so I liked that!

Criticisms? I felt it was too short, it should have been an hour. It was a bit too busy as I guess they were trying to introduce all the characters. There's also a worry that a few of them won't be very likeable but hopefully over the series we will see more sides to them. It's great to see Damien in something lighthearted.

I do also have a bit of thing for Phoebie Waller-Bridge so Damo... back off Lulu!!

I've got a stinking cold and tbh by 10pm last night I really needed to be in bed, but obviously I needed to stay up to watch this.  In retrospect I probably should've waited but....y'know....  So it was all a bit of a blur, and I fully intend to rewatch it soon.....but I thought I'd share my first impressions.

First impression - My my!!  Damien was looking fine wasn't he !!  So good to see those Damo smiles.....  Domino - that gif!!!!! 

In my somewhat befuddled state it all seemed a bit rushed....and I agree with what everyone else has said about it being too short.  First eps are always a bit tricky - introducing the characters etc, and 30mins (- ad break) hardly gave it room do anything other than that.  It did make me laugh though...no mean feat considering how I was feeling.  And - like the reviews suggest - now that the set up is established it's likely to get even funnier!

Once I've watched it again I'll come back....

(Hi Mikey! *waves* - good to see you!)
