Gritty, jarring, profane and smartly produced.
By Verne Gay FULL REVIEW
50
The show clearly wants to say something complicated about race and class in Los Angeles, but a number of the situations and characters on the show feel like situations and people we’ve seen before (starting with the movie that lends the series its name).
By Maureen Ryan FULL REVIEW

I’ll come back to Crash the TV show, but for now, the acting doesn’t exactly induce gaper’s block.
By Robert Abele FULL REVIEW
40
They're a largely unlikable lot of crooked cops, adulterers and Hopper's long-winded, nutso music mogul. It's one thing to spend a movie with these characters, but it's quite another to tune in for 13 weeks.
By Rob Owen FULL REVIEW
30
The new drama Crash struggles mightily to appear slick and sophisticated and special, but the whole elaborate mess is just as leaden and obvious as the Oscar-winning movie upon which it's based.
By Heather Havrilesky FULL REVIEW
30
The racial fire is oddly muted, the characters disturbingly undefined, the interaction frustratingly nondescript. The truth is, I'm not really sure what this show is supposed to be other than chaotic and boorish
By Ray Richmond FULL REVIEW
20
Messy at best, the two-episode premiere suffers from wildly uneven performances, beginning with Dennis Hopper at his manic worst.
