Synopsis
Roadies (2016) is a Showtime comedy-drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Cameron Crowe — the director who spent his teenage years on the road writing about bands for Rolling Stone before making Almost Famous — created it as an inside look at the working lives of touring crew: the people who build the stage, drive the trucks, and make rock shows happen night after night.
Tour manager Bill and production manager Shelli, played by Luke Wilson and Carla Gugino, hold everything together for a band they love more than they love themselves. Around them: Imogen Poots, Rafe Spall and Colson Baker, each carrying their own dramas from city to city. The series doesn't pretend the life is glamorous — the hours are brutal, the pay is modest, the recognition goes elsewhere.
What Crowe brings that most music shows don't is a genuine ear: the soundtrack choices feel lived-in, not curated. Stream all episodes of Roadies (2016) online on iFILM.
