Is 'Roadies' as good as 'Almost Famous'? No! Is it an excellent show with real-life artists playing cameos & music along side some beloved actors & actresses? YES! Does it have an amazing sound track? YES! I'm assuming the reason why 'Roadies' had only had one season was b/c everyone was expecting a 10 hour show that was on the same caliber of 'Almost Famous,' but If you go into this without the high 'Almost Famous' expectations then you should enjoy it. I found it on Hulu and was bummed to discover that there was only one season. I love any shows that revolve around music like, 'CBGB's, 'Rock & Roll', 'Vinyl,' 'Treme', 'The Get Down' etc. Hell, I even enjoyed ' Glee' & 'Smash.'. Just like 'Vinyl' and 'The Get Down' this show ended far too soon. I'll be enjoying the 'Roadies' soundtrack on Spotify for some time now.

Side note: I just looked it up & 91% of google users like 'Roadies.' It currently has a 7.4 IMDB rating; yet, it only has a 34% score on Rotten Tomatoes. What that tells me is that critics tore it apart, but the people enjoyed it. 'Roadies' may not be the best musical themed tv show of all time, but it does deserve to watched & appreciated.

Thank you Cameron Crowe for all your great movies & this show. Please continue to make shows & movies for us to enjoy.

I love this show. Don't even understand why it was canceled. Clever stories, great cast, excellent music. It was amazing.I just watched all of them again on showtime, cried watching regs' montage. Laughed at the funeral, seemed like a real one. I want to know what was going to happen next.

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.

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.

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