Roadies (2016 Cameron Crowe)

We're hooked three episodes in through quintessential Cameron material - though 2 was written by Winnie Holzman it's got Cameron all over it. Luke Wilson has a half finished dream house and likes young women, Carla Gugino is married to another tour producer, Imogen Poots is our cool skateboarding rigger who we know isn't going to leave at the end of 1, Rafe Spall the money man with touch issues.

With Keisha Castle-Hughes (sound mixer - 'You don't know how many times I've been asked "Where's the sound guy?"'), Colson Baker aka Machine Gun Kelly (adopted as baby-sitter), Peter Cambor (pretends to have English accent), Branscombe Richmond (prophetic security guy) Finesse Mitchell and Ron White (Phil).

Three really gets into its stride with a classic Cameron line (forgotten it now), a tripped out Rainn Wilson and a kinetic performance from Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham.
