    I can say I am absolutely in love with this show. I love how the series is a hilarious, cynical comedy about the music industry, but also a funny and heart warming family comedy.

    On top of that there's this great music that makes this show extra special. I have had Liz Gillies' songs from this show, like 'Animal' and 'New York 2015' on repeat for days. The cast is excellent. Everyone    I can say I am absolutely in love with this show.

    The cast is excellent. Everyone has great chemistry together. The fact that they had lots of room for improv gave them the chance to show just how talented they all are.

    The shows mix of comedy, drama and music is a perfect fit for Liz Gillies. She has an amazing talent for all and for me is the star of SDRR.

    The only downside I can find is that the episodes are so short. I would love to see longer episodes so we can enjoy more of this great show.    … Expand

    Love this series! It looks like the second season will be even better than the first. Liz Gillies is my all time favorite, a very talented actress and a fantastic singer/songwriter. She's going to be a big star one day.

    I'm a big fan of this serie. Rough comedy-drama mix, good satire on the whole music industry, completed with excellent music from the show itself. The acting which is partly improv and the live music are really good, both prove that the cast is really talented. Elizabeth gillies as Gigi stands out as a very talented singer and actress.

    Spectacular!! The characters are well written, the plot is good and the music is amazing. Every episode has at least one great song. The humor is really good also. I really hope they make at least another season.

    I you are an 80's rocker, this is the perfect show for you. I turned 6 co-workers on to it & now we're all hooked.
    I can only say 1 bad thing about it & that's why is it only 30 minutes? It's really funny, and the music is kick ass!

    Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll is the passion project of comedian and actor, Dennis Leary. Holding back all infomation, you'd expect if Leary wrote the show, acted in the show and directed a few episodes, that he'd be the main star right? Wrong. The main star is young and talented, Elizabeth Gillies who's fresh off a kids TV show and into an adult FX comedy about an ageing rock star and his daughter.Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll is the passion project of comedian and actor, Dennis Leary.

    I would argue that Gillies in the role as Gigi, could be her breakout role. Her character is written hilariously and her quick chemistry with the rest of the cast shows as the show evolves.

    The sad truth to the show is that it gets more interesting and funny as it goes on, with the final two episodes being terrific, but the audience is slowly leaving begging the question, will we see a Second Season especially after the small cliffhanger in the final episode?    … Expand

    The trailers contained the funniest parts of this show. The rest is just uninspired and predictable comedy. It's so forced, I can almost feel the actors cringe at each other (minus Dennis Leary). This has the entertainment value of 1 1/2 minutes of "World's Dumbest ________" (take your pick) spread out into 30 minutes.

    Dennis Leary is a talented comedian with a specific viewpoint. This sometimes works well, and creates memorable and engrossing projects. Sometimes it doesn't. Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll falls into the latter category. The pilot was coarse, uneven, and lacking in compelling characters and a compelling narrative. And for a comedy, it was hard to find laughs.

    Episode 1 was bad, episode 2 was worse. Poor example of family tv, very forced, very unoriginal. This show really doesn't deserve any more explanation.

    It lurches in tone and an accelerated narrative that seems at times to leave holes in the storytelling, gaps that draw you up short where you should be just be sailing along. Still, if it's a bit of a mess, it's not an uninteresting one.

    For those who appreciate a good joke about Bon Jovi's guitarist, or other arcane music trivia, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll delivers. Those who enjoy Leary's particular talent for spitting out great dialogue like it tastes bad will also find this one easy to watch.

    It's the first heavily hyped new series of the year that could be described a total misfire.
