I know there are a lot of “Crash” haters out there — I’m one of them. (Apologies to Kris — I know you’re a fan, and I respect that.)
So it will either please or dismay you to learn that there is a longer, less well-acted and seemingly even more overwrought alternative to Paul Haggis’ didactic crowd-splitter.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you “Crash” — the TV series. (Thanks to Vulture for the heads-up.)
Oddly enough, one of my first thoughts after watching “Crash” over three years ago was that its broad characterisation and diagrammatic structuring may have been better served in a small-screen format. (I was a massive fan of Haggis’ truncated TV drama “EZ Streets.”) Suffice to say this doesn’t appear to be the proof of that.

That looks so bad it’s gone past good and back to painfully awful again.
Could this actually be as bad as the movie?!

I love the movie, but this looks absolutely horrible.

Wow and I thought the film insulted my intelligence. This looks horrendously bad. I think HBO or someone needs to do Brokeback Mountain the TV show and then at the Emmy’s we can have another Oscar like showdown and watch overwrought shit completely slap a masterpiece in the face. Though Brokeback Mountain the TV show would probably be hysterical. Ugh I hate Crash and its formula stealing bullshit with it’s supposed insightful look into the race and prejudice problem in America.

I saw something about this on Showtime last night. I had no idea it was even in the works.
