And it is getting worse towards the end. Just couldn't wait for last 3 episodes to finish, and the ending is totaly stupid.... There's definitely not enough material on this subject to make a series.... so it really gets boring towards the end, even though some characters are ok. I liked the "Almost Famous" so decided to watch this as well, but this is nowhere near... You won't miss anything if you skip it.

As an avid concert-goer who has worked in radio and film production, this show just stinks. characters lack depth, the editing and scene pacing is questionable. everything is formulaic. why add in two full songs per episode? the characters are obsessed with name-dropping pasee 'legends". YAWN. for a group of people who are supposed to be so cool and interesting, they are totally lame, boring and one-dimensional. no chemistry between the actors, the stories fell flat and were thinly veiled.this could have worked as a thirty minute show. cut out the drama and stick to writing good, sincere jokes about the music industry. there's so much great real-life music-industry material to choose from, cameron crowe is nothing more than uninspired.

There are very few shows that I get attached to, and Roadies was one of them. My iTunes music library grew because of this show. Every week I looked forward to seeing what new music would be featured. The story was well written and entertaining, although I'm sure roadie life is not really the way it was portrayed. Since the season one finale my wife and I kept watching replays on demand and wondered where they would take the story in season 2. Needless to say, we were crushed when we heard that the show had been canceled. I don't understand how a show that was so well liked (7.4/10) can be canceled. It is extremely disappointing and we're hoping that Showtime changes their minds and brings it back.

I watched every episode until now (S01E08) and I fell in love with it. Some people may say it's a slow beginning but I didn't feel that. Imogen Poots delivers a fantastic drive into the characters right away and I just digged it from the first minute. I read so many crap about the series and about critics who say that it's not accurate to the actually jobs of roadies and so on...of course not. I'ts TV....it's entertainment! I really hope Grey's Anatomy, ER, CSI, and every other show you can think of are not the standards for how it works in those jobs either.I really hope that there is more to come and hopefully some more seasons.If you like new music there is another plus for you! Real Artists are playing real music. What's not to love!?!
