Better Late Then Never

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I came across this series by accident, trawling through Amazon one evening trying to find something to watch. I am just so glad that I have gave it a go because it was utterly charming, deeply amusing and completely uplifting.There was not a single character I didn't warm to, a single episode I didn't feel sad for when it ended or a single moment I didn't cherish. I'm just so sad the critics, who would not know decent television if it painted the words 'excellent TV series' in florescent green across its chest, had there way and had this killed off far too prematurely. It deserved so much better.I'll miss it.

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.

Really hoping showtime picks up the second season. This is a show we waited for and counted on every Sunday. My wife and I are both 50 and loved how this connected our youth and tied it in with both comedy, drama and excellent writing. If you want to witness the ups and downs of a rock n roll tour from an unusual point of view as well as be entertained, then this is the show for you. The character development left plenty of twists and turns, yet not so over the top that it is unbelievable. This is very important to me as I watch shows I want to have it be believable. We loved it!!!!!

One of my and my wife's favorite TV dramas of all time. I don't know, and pretty much don't care, if it's an accurate depiction of roadies or road life; it's a great series set in that world. I've always been a fan of Cameron Crowe's work and this is one of his best. Interesting, well-developed, affecting characters that you care about and an awesome soundtrack. This is the series that Vinyl should have been. The last three episodes of the season (and please let there be more seasons) were some of the most moving of any series ever. Totally can't understand how the critics are missing how great this show is. If you haven't seen it, give it a try. And to Showtime...Please let the tour go on!
