My kids and I watched this because James Iha had composed it. I already expected something good not only because of Iha but because of Henry Rollins. ( I could take or leave Imagine Dragons but hey... that's the one my kids loved!).
Anyway. I was suitably blown away. I even got my wife to watch it later with me, once the kids had gone to sleep. Then my kids watched it again with their friends.
Look, there's so much to like about this show from the authentic performances, the way it's shot - blending a cinematic feel with the more hand held stuff, to the story itself. And yes - THE MUSIC is great.
I want my kids to watch things that aren't about being famous, popular or pretty. I want real, aspirational stuff. It reminded me a lot of Freaks n Geeks in the way it was so earthy. It's certainly unlike anything else on TV at the moment. Amazon has made a winner here. We are officially captivated and standing by for more episodes
Bravo Amazon
