Roadies

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.

If you liked Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous", you will almost certainly like this show.

Be aware, it's a slow starter...The first couple of weeks as we are getting to know the characters, it was not great. I didn't even know if I was going to keep watching. It certainly grows on you though. Now, I can't get enough of it.

During the last season of "Grey's Anatomy" (A show I was sucked into by my wife right from episode 1), it occurred to me that I was watching a show packed full of truly unlikable people, not a single one of which would I ever want to have as a friend in real life.

That is not a problem with this show. I just finished episode 8, and I so wanted to be right there on that bus with these impossibly likable characters.

Yes, it's a little sappy and sentimental, and sure, anybody who has worked in the entertainment industry will be able to easily point out all manner of issues.

Who cares? It's not a documentary, it's just entertainment.

Bonus points to the show for the celebrity cameo appearances and some fun back room/sound check style performances by real artists.

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.

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.

Really?... NETFLIX please come and rescue them. The best TV series in 2016
