For years I have read and followed IMDb and pondered on what would inspire me to write a review and ... Well here it is.

I appreciate I am not and have never been associated with a rock band so if this is factually accurate , I have no idea. However I do enjoy well written TV.

The script is sharp and gives the whole ensemble a chance to shine. It reminds me of The West Wing but for rock bands rather than politicians and civil servants. It is both light in tone but always hits the little emotional note somewhere during each episode. You really care about the characters.

The music throughout the programme as you would expect from Cameron Crowe is diverse and excellent. I have been "shazaming" like crazy and downloading music all over the place.

You can tell CROWE has a past in musical journalism and he uses it to great effect.

A fun , light , entertaining show and I am already depressed that I will have to wait for season 2 and season 1 hasn't ended yet.

Please get on Amazon prime and watch it and rate it so they make another season.

I'm not sure if they meant to only have one season of this show? It's such a shame that they didn't continue on with it! The cast is absolutely amazing & anyone who has any love for music would just appreciate this show for how great it is or was.

This is an easy-going, low-key thoughtful comedy. No one is getting killed or raped each week. It is a show about relationships, and, I love it. Unlike 'Happyish', these characters are likable and fun to watch. The show has gotten better every week. I really want to see more of Ron (Tater) White, who plays Phil. Luke Wilson is always watchable, and, Imogene Poots is terrific as always (great American accent). Who cares if this is an accurate portrayal of roadies. Has anyone bothered to portray them before? As for the user comment about the lack of racial diversity in the cast, they haven't watched the show. Branscombe Richmond is Native American, Luis Guzman is Hispanic, Finesse Mitchell and Catero Colbert are African American.

What a great show. Loved it from beginning to end. I NEED to know what happens next Cameron. Someone pick this up!

let me open this review by saying that music was always my greatest passion and music artists are some of my greatest heroes, that and of course movies and cinema. I was 16 years old when Crowe present me with the groundbreaking movie "Singles" that capture the grunge music generation with a one of a time soundtrack from bands like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and many more... the movie was the right mixture of drama, music,comedy and romance that only a true music lover can make. and then came "Almost Famous" that kept the same delicate essence. This series is (for me) the 3rd part in Crowe's musical trilogy, a group of roadies works for a band in a city state tour, a real hard job that keep you out of a normal family life where the tour buses are your home and the actual family are your co-workers, the pay isn't much so why keep going? they all have one thing in common, their passion for music, the same passion that drove Crowe on an early age to become a traveling journalist for the Rolling Stones magazine (the "Almost Famous" movie story). so.. is that series any good - sure is!, if you loved Crowe's other movies this one is the right series for you, if you are a true music lover you will identify with the characters and your heart will fill with warmth every couple of minutes.
