Crash: The Series -- Series Debut -- "Episode One" -- 10/17/08

Premise:

From the producers of the Academy Award®-winning Best Motion Picture, “Crash” is a provocative new 13-episode drama series premiering on Starz October 17th. Starring an ensemble cast led by film icon Dennis Hopper, the series looks at the way different lives intersect and collide in the melting pot of L.A.

The drama features a disparate group of Los Angelenos, including maverick record producer Ben Cendars (Dennis Hopper); impulsive cop Kenny Battaglia (Ross McCall); his actress-turned-police officer partner Bebe Arcel (Arlene Tur); frustrated Brentwood mom Christine Emory (Clare Carey); her pre-bust real-estate developer husband Peter Emory (D.B. Sweeney); former gang member-turned-EMT Eddie Choi (Brian Tee); Ben’s street-smart driver Anthony Adams (Jocko Sims); illegal Guatemalan immigrant Cesar Uman (Luis Chavez); and cocky, hot-tempered detective Axel Finet (Nick Tarabay).

With a creative team including writers, directors and producers from movies like Million Dollar Baby and Casino Royale, and premium shows like The Sopranos, The Shield and Deadwood, Crash pulls no punches.

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


In the opener, a Korean man is murdered and Axel lands the case; Kenny and Bebe have a run-in with an attractive woman; and Christine's father falls ill during her 40th birthday party, and much to the dismay of her husband, she decides that they should take in the old man.



For those of you who don't have Starz like me, you can watch episode 1 and 2 right now on Starz.com.

If you have Netflix, you can also watch episode 1 and 2 and they will post new episodes every week. Netflix also has Stars streaming live if you want to watch it that way.
