Great Crashing review from The Guardian! 

Foul-mouthed, frank, funny: generation rent finds its comic voice

 

Crashing, a six-part Channel 4 comedy series which Waller-Bridge wrote and stars in, manages to be both funny and sharply moving. It puts her at the forefront of a new generation of female British writer-performers, which includes Sharon Horgan, who wrote and starred in the hit C4 comedyCatastrophe, and Jessica Knappett, the talent behind E4’s Drifters.

Kenton Allen, chief executive of Big Talk Productions, which madeCrashing, has described Waller-Bridge as “phenomenally talented”. Like Amy Schumer in the US, Waller-Bridge is not afraid to be both foul-mouthed and feminist. She’s also very funny.

Crashing follows the lives of six twentysomethings living in a disused hospital as property guardians – people who provide live-in security for empty buildings in return for low rents. It may not seem the most obvious starting point for a comedy, but Waller-Bridge insists it’s a reflection of our times.
