Rec. #255: Collision


What: This miniseries about the investigation into a multi-vehicle traffic accident features many, oh many, of your favorite British TV actors. The series also features embezzlement, murder, smuggling, and government cover-ups. It's a true ensemble piece, with strangers' lives getting all intertwined, so get ready to pick your favorites.

Comparable to: Collision aired in the U.S. on PBS's Masterpiece Contemporary. So it's Masterpiece-y.

Opening lines: "Morning. I'll see you later, darlin'."

You might not like it if: You learn that the version that aired in the U.S. is shorter than the original British version, and that makes you bitter. Very bitter.

How to get it: You can stream it on Netflix or on Amazon.

Connections to previous Wreckage: Another suspenseful British miniseries that's available to watch online is Ultraviolet (Rec. #212). A suspenseful British miniseries that's not currently available to stream online is State of Play (Rec. #104).
