Crashing is a comedy series that revolves around a group of 20-30 year olds living together as property guardians of a hospital. I really liked the setting of the show and the characters grew on me right from the start.

Although there isn't really much here in terms of storyline, there was just something unique about it that kept me watching. The performances of all the cast were spot on and each character had their own traits. The show relies heavily on sexual jokes and crude stuff such as puking up on food and poo in the bedroom, so obviously it's not going to be for everyone.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the writer and main star) is a very similar character to Fleabag (her other 2016 show) and so she is hilarious once again. Kate was an awkward character in the first 2-3 episodes but in the last few episodes she provided a lot of laughs. All of the guys were funny also but my favourite character has to be Melody, there was something edgy about her and I enjoyed her scenes the most.

The show is predictable in a sense that its pretty obvious which characters will end up with each other, but there's only 6 22 minute episodes so it's well worth checking out. I finished it in two sittings and I really did enjoy every second of it. It's good for a quick laugh.

I hope for a 2nd series soon.
