TAXICAB CONFESSIONS: NEW YORK, NEW YORK PART 3

"Let us never speak of what happened in this cab."

I'm as voyeuristic as the next guy. I mean I don't go peeking into people's windows but I'm fascinated by other people's lives, maybe because I'm so bored with my own. That's why I like Taxicab Confessions, a boozy, woozy free fall into the seedy core of the Big Apple where random folks swept up off the nighttime streets tell the shocking tales of their sorted lives.

The opening salvo is a stunner, a couple who fell in love at first sight in France suddenly discover where the rifts - and prejudices - are in their relationship. Watch in amazement as their budding love practically falls apart right before your eyes.

It's raw and it's real. A crack addled prostitute who got her start at 14 opens up about her horrific life; a wildly appealing young guy talks about his prodigious sex life and batty ex-girlfriend; a born again prostitute who relies on God for protection from the mean streets; and a couple of African-American guys talk about what it's like to be black in America and it's eye opening to say the least.

There are other lurid confessions, like the off-duty cop reeling from breaking up with his girlfriend minutes before getting in the cab who recounts the nightmarish visions brought on by some of the gory, violent crime scenes he's witnessed over the years.

These people expose deep wounds and splay their emotional innards for all to see with stories that run the emotional gamut to create a hour of compelling television. One thing's for sure - you'll feel a lot better about your own life!
