The show travels from town-to-town with the crew working on the current tour headlined by the Staton-House Band, who, if the music writer played by Rainn Wilson in episode three is to be believed, are a semi-rootsy alt-rock group that’s slightly past their prime.
To appropriate yet another piece of dialogue from a beloved Crowe film ( Say Anything), Roadies feels like it’s looking for a dare-to-be-great situation but still hasn’t found it yet.

While the first three episodes of the series - the only ones made available to critics - overflow with Crowe’s trademark optimism and contain glimmers of promise, the characters feel underdeveloped and the stakes a bit too low to keep viewers coming back. (I really liked We Bought a Zoo, and I am not ashamed to say it.) And I love the idea of watching him take his passion for music - a passion that’s been on display in all of his films, but none more so than the semi-autobiographical Almost Famous, to which Roadies can’t help but be compared - and bring it to the world of television on a weekly basis.īut the idea of Roadies is one thing, and the execution of it is another. To borrow the words of Renée Zellweger in Crowe’s Jerry Maguire and change them just slightly, I love him for the filmmaker he was, and for the filmmaker he almost still is. I feel about Cameron Crowe - the creator of the series and a filmmaker who has stumbled in recent years, most notably with last year’s disastrous Aloha - the way people in Cameron Crowe movies feel about the heroes in Cameron Crowe movies. Let me just say, right upfront, that I really, really want to like Roadies. Carla Gugino as Shelli and Luke Wilson as Bill in Roadies.
