A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

You dont need to watch the critically acclaimed film 'Crash' in order to watch this series. It will just give you an idea of how the format of the series works.It takes multiple stories and characters and intertwines them altogether at some point by intricate writing executed brilliantly imo, I'm alluding to the first season in particular.Looking back now at Dennis Hoppers character, seeing how Ray Donovan has Mickys character convinces me that it was inspired by Hoppers role just done perfectly this time around.This is a great attempt at what is essentially a drama that was ahead of its time and if it were to premiere in 2018 I think it would have gained a massive audience! It was a captivating series that the golden era of TV produced imo. I feel like overall we got an incomplete series seeing how brilliant the first season was to the ending of the second seasons cliffhanger. I would love for this series to be remade and given a star studded cast and refreshing plot with great writers mastering the series.Defintely worth watching and it's available right now on Amazon prime.

First season---most excellent--the transition to the second season and that season thereafter was crap. Dropped story lines, forgotten characters, unresolved plots...just stupid. I loved the first season and thought it was most excellent...I am sorry I cannot say the same for the second season. Everything about this series screams ten seasons easy--- except the writers decided to get the mental apple splatters. It bothers me that such a promising series was sent top the the junkyard due to horrid writing and lack of network support. I appreciate the attempt by Starz to enter the market ala The Sopranos, Weeds, etc. but abhor the lack of support they followed it up with. I will certainly miss watching this show and will miss the pseudo lapd corruption I have come to love in real life and in film.

Crash Been avoiding this one more or less simply because the movie crash was for me not that good. I saw short-cuts and then after that, saw crash. Therefor, the movie just didn't do anything for me.Then a Sunday afternoon in a rental-store I was facing a quite poor selection of films and ended up with this. Maybe my 10 comes aided by the fact i didn't have high expectations. Still, it's easily among the best things I've seen. Slow paced and maybe sometimes spaced out, true. But in a time when movies running 90min's can feel long, seeing a TV-show of approx 11 hours and just wanting more, that says something.Often there is good shows or movies that simply missed top mark because of some detail. Sound, acting, directing or whatever. This does not. I can't fault the anything about it. Acting is great, storyline, no matter how strange it on occasion might be, everything holds together with some magic feel to it.Watching "just people" in the Short-Cuts way mixed up with some acting and directing in a more D.Lynch way makes this highly entertaining and unique.No, it's not a comedy and it's no Shield and still it hit's targets on both sides. I will really see this one again.

Like other LA stories of the last 12 to 15 years(on cable primarily)this show wants to give a broad overview of the City of Angels. It has good pedigree considering its creator just came off The Shield. The show also has the humor and sometimes off-kilter meditative quality of the film. The other thing that comes through is that this is the TV show Mulholland Drive might have become had ABC allowed David Lynch to continue.Don Cheadle definitely has delivered a high quality show with Dennis Hopper as its anchor. Lots of great new faces and a few familiar older ones. I've seen some complaints about Ben and Anthony's relationship. Some people read it as slave and master. I'll admit I haven't seen enough of the show yet. We'll see. Right now it seems more familial.
