Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll

Gotta be honest, pretty disappointed this ONLY had two seasons. It mixes John Corbett's Parenthood role, with Denis Leary's Rescue Me role, gives a vibe like Californication, and boom! You get the magic that is Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. That title alone shows that this will not be everybody's cup of tea, but I personally really enjoyed it and could have gone for watching so much more. Sure, it is not a perfect show, but it doesn't need to be. Definitely check this one out if you like any of the comparisons I made in this comment!

Average Season Review: 8/10

Recommendation: At Least Give it a Whirl (For Realistic Drama/Comedy Fans)

This show sucks. It's like it was designed to brainwash people that you can't write music without drugs. For example: episode 2 is about helping Johnny (the lead) become sober, as a group, but they just give him drugs anyway as if the moral is that he can't make it without them—which is hugely disappointing/discouraging if you can relate at all. It's also painfully cliche in general. 0/10

What if we ripped off Californication but without the charming humor of David Duchovny?

I'm not sure if there's a plot. The second season has been a weird sexual examination of the dynamics between the main characters. To be honest I barely remember anything form the first season other than the band is sad. They don't feel like a family or terribly connected. It's not like super funny or anything. I think I just really like Gigi so I stick around for the small scene where maybe she's singing something or wearing something hot. I wish I had more to say, but it seems to suffer from that "I had a popular show, I still want to be famous, I have too much money" kind of thing. Just because Denis Leary has always wanted to be a rock star and might've conjured a few fantasies with regard to it doesn't mean there's a compelling story-telling motivation or underbelly. I don't hate it, and it's not like "bad" in that it takes it's self too seriously or gets to be embarrassed by its budget, but it's a show that, were it cancelled tomorrow, I wouldn't be like, "Awwwww! I'm not gonna get to see them talk about their sex lives and weird play next week!"
