Pete Holmes’ Crashing feels more like his story in Season 2

Indiewire

“One of the most glaring issues with Crashing Season 1 was how it acknowledged Pete Holmes’ unique background — that he’s a relatively clean comic thanks to his religious upbringing — without ever doing anything special with it,” says Ben Travers. “While a perfectly enjoyable season of television that set up its basic premise a little too well, Holmes’ initial HBO offering felt like any other stand-up comic’s story. Season 2 does not. It feels like Holmes’ story, and it’s better for it — in part because it fully commits to how belief can distinguish a comedian when he or she engages with the concept.” ALSO: Crashing is a good show that has moments of greatness.
