Sleepin_Dragon Review of Collision

Collision (2009)

Enjoyable mini series loaded with twists and turns

[8/10 · 2 October 2017]

Anthony Horowitz certainly has a creative mind, and when on form he gives us some brilliant productions. His writing was certainly put to good use with Collision. Spread over five parts it tells the story of a motorway pileup, the effects on the lives of the drivers, and the immediate people around them. Collision manages to tick several boxes, there's the mystery of the crash itself, the love story, and the darker elements of human trafficking and murder. The strongest element I'd say are the characters, which are well rounded and believable, each mini story is captivating, in particular Richard's love affair with Coffee shop worker Jane, McGann and Griffiths were among the standouts of the production. It all ties together so neatly, it could have easily lost focus, but it manages to stay cohesive throughout, I especially loved the what if final scenes, a nice and thoughtful touch. Overall it's a very enjoyable series to watch. 8/10
