Season 1 Review: [Mike Judge] mines storytelling gold from the people who grew up with and performed alongside a number of country music legends, resulting in a wholly engaging series that even non-country fans should love. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A reasonably fond look at some of country music’s most celebrated and talented self-destructive forces, most of them now dead. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even--or especially--if you don’t get the humor in that last one, the country-music knowledge being arrayed before you in Tales From the Tour Bus is sure to both enlighten and entertain you. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Highly addictive, strangely thrilling little series. (Eight episodes are too few; may I have some more?) Fun's fun, but Judge does not forget the considerable art that makes these performers worth discussing in the first place. Read full review

Season 1 Review: At its core, Tales From the Tour Bus is a very simple show: Its primary objective is to honor these fascinating individuals by sharing their stories with a wider audience. That could’ve been done without the animation, but Judge, as a storyteller himself, maximizes his potential audience by infusing sly humor into every visual inch of the show. Read full review
