    I really liked it too, but I read today it was the 2nd lowest rated show on Showtime only beating Dice Clay's show. They haven't announced it if will be picked up for a second seasonyet, but I'm hoping it will be.

    I hope they get a season 2. I also thought it started rough, but the characters grew on me.

    Yeah, definitely. Great musical performances on last night's finale...Eddie, Jim James, Jackson Browne, Gary Clark Jr....great stuff. Really hope there's a 2nd season.

    Luke Wilson is just so "Aww shucks guys" and some other characters are a little too stereotypical, but it's still a fun dumb show to watch instead of the more intense stuff on rotation this summer (Ray Donovan, The Night Of, Mr Robot, etc)

    Only watched for Eddie, hadn't seen any of the previous episodes and was about to turn it off but really started enjoying the music in this episode. Good job Cameron!

    The plot and these characters though - eh. Owen is bad in everything, dark haired girl was ok but her story line was trite.

    Luke Wilson went to the Bill Pullman school of acting.

    Thought the finale was a mess, just like most of the season. Awful show, don't mind if it gets canceled. Best part about it was the music. The soundtrack album isn't bad.
  • Good performance by Eddie, including the acting. Very natural.
    Tried to get into the show weeks ago, but could not. Still can't.

    I watched about 10 minutes of the final. Yeah, from what I saw I wouldnt put the time into watching from the beginning.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Thanks to Showtime and J.J. Abrams for the opportunity to make the one and only season of “Roadies.” My mind is still spinning from the giddy highs of working with this epic cast and crew. Though we could tell a thousand more stories, this run ends with a complete ten-hour tale of music and love. Like a song that slips under your skin, or a lyric that keeps speaking to you, we hope the spell of “Roadies” lingers. It was life-changing experience for all of us.

    So much appreciation goes out to the sensational actors and crew who lived and breathed these stories and characters with their whole hearts. We became a family, our own music-loving troupe. Thanks also to the musicians who lived so comfortably in the world of acting. And thanks to all at Bad Robot, and Winnie Holzman, great collaborators all. Big thanks to our fans for watching and cheering us on. We’ll see you soon with a new project… and many of the same actors, I’m sure. Here’s a little glimpse of the last night of filming. This is what every day felt like.

    Love,

    Special Thanks to our directors and magic-makers like (get ready for some names!)… Irving Azoff, David Nevins, Robin Gurney, Gary Levine, Gail Levin, Thomas Yatzko, Kathy Lingg, “Mighty” Clay Griffith, Kelly Curtis, Ben “Socks” Stephenson, Peter Roth, Joel Schwartz, Tom Schnaidt, Mike DeGrazzio, David Bilow, Elliott Eisman, Neal Preston, Jon Kasdan, Gavin “Hai” Kleintop, Greg Mariotti, Andy Fischer, Cara McKeown, Joel Sinesky, David Spade(!), Peter Schindler, Len Goldstein, Katie McGrath, Tom “100%” Mackay, Michele Anthony, Eric “We Gave Up European Dates with Neil Young!” Johnson, and of course huge thanks to the real bright-light Roadie who loaned us her name and her indominable spirit – Kellianne Murphy.

    Cameron should of went with Netflix. I hope he tries with them to continue his love.

    Hell, even the series Love by Judd Apatow & Paul Rust received a 2nd season ok with Netflix.
    A .. 2nd season OK!!! Which blows my mind!!

    Netflix is cool though. They don't have ads, thus they don't need ad revenue, thus there's no need to release their viewership #'s. You really have no idea how their original content fares (other than the ones that get renewed must have enough viewers).
  • I was kind of sad this ended. It really started to grow on me about halfway through the season. Shelly still annoyed me, but love Wes!
    I'm through with screaming
  • I actually enjoyed this show. This is too bad, was hoping to see where it went.

    When Machine Gun Kelly is the best thing about the show, that tells you all you need to know.

    They should have made a better show I guess.

    But it gave us that cool little Roadies documentary.

    Yeah, Miles To Go Before I Sleep was cool, but I feel like I know way more than I ever wanted to know about PJ's tour manager.
