Crashing has enough mostly gentle amusements to keep it on track. And it’s increasingly easy to get on Pete’s side.

Pete has yet to figure out that the art of winning an audience is perfected through enthusiastically failing again and again. Crashing shows that Holmes has already mastered that lesson and has moved on to quietly, honestly killing it.

This is the kind of show that’s not going to make the big pop-culture impact of the series that precedes it--Girls--but it’s a worthy dispenser of pleasure.

The knock-down, pop-up rhythms of Crashing can grow wearying when the only character we’re following is the one going through them. But they also make the few moments of triumph so, so satisfying.

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.

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.

It’s pleasant enough, with enjoyable guest stars, but it comes too late in the evolution of this genre to make much of an impression.

This is truly an amazing series. Its made in a great way so that identifying with the feelings of the characters is almost gut wrenching. This is one of the best comedies out there, I highly recommend

Really, really liked it. Pete Holmes is a very likable guy. Initially, you root for him and he is very funny ... in his interactions with other characters/comics. His stand up in S1? Not so so so good. Deliberate I know. So his arc is completed by end of S3 and his stand up is funny. There is a lot of jock-sniffing going on with the professional/ successful comics ... and they're mostly all portrayed as super kind, generous people who want nothing more than to help new comics. While I've heard anecdotally that most successful comics are emotionally stunted, angry and dark-hearted. This is a light Sunday breeze that goes right up the kimono and tickles you right where you like to be tickled.
