I don't understand the people who say that they love this show. Now, it's not terrible, but I do have to say that I feel it's one of those shows that make you feel manipulated and dirty after watching it because it seems like they introduce "cute" story lines just for the sake of entertainment, rather than to advance the story of the character's arcs. For example, let's have different characters say "it is what it is" throughout the episode just because it's funny. It's not that funny and it makes the show look way too produced as opposed to being natural aka cliché'. Look at great shows like Veep, Silicon Valley, Game of Thrones, Ray Donovan. Veep isn't real or pretend to be real, but all of the characters are consistent which makes it real. Every character is true to themselves which I find lacking in Roadies. The characters in Roadies seem like cartoon versions of themselves. The good things about Roadies is that the directing is good, acting is good, production values are strong, and even though I feel dirty watching the show, I'm still watching, albeit grudgingly. I also think it would be much better as a 30 minute show vs. an hour. In closing, I think the show reminds me of a lot of college theater that I've seen. It looks like it's a lot of fun to be one of the cast members or producers, but not as fun to be an audience member.
