Roadies

Anyone been watching this.

Its on Stan and I guess various other ways to watch it.

Its written and directed by Cameron Crowe (Almost famous) and also writes for Rolling Stone, reasonably realistic with artistic license to make it watchable.

Its only u to 5 eps but I'm hooked already and a few cameos on it.

Nope

If it's anything like Almost Famous I'll definitely watch it. One of my all time favourite movies.

First season over and the last few eps with the death of one of the main characters was very good, alot of cameos throughout the first series including Eddie Vedder singing at the funeral.

Great Series.

Well thats was quick.

What a disappointment, its one of the best series I've seen.

So much music and musicians dropping in for cameos. Seen the whole series 3 times and half way through my 4th and was very much looking forward to the second series.

Watched an episode on a plane. Didn't bother finishing it so no, did not hook me at all.

I appreciate your disappointment though, when a series you love gets axed.

I feel the same way about Vinyl. Loved the first series and I have no idea why it wasn't a success. I feel if they kept the cast together and made another it would've stuck. I can still rewatch what they did make.

Naomi Watts' father was Pink Floyd's Road Manager back in the 70's when they were at their peak. He died from an overdose.

Watched it last week. I was disappointed to hear it had been cancelled.

Didn't watch it and probably won't now considering if I do like it then I'm just setting myself up for disappointment.

Agree re Vinyl though, thought it was brilliant and really think it would of gone to a new level in season 2.
