Warning: Spoilers Ahead
As the people closest to me know, I’m not a big fan of comedies. Occasionally a show like Big Bang or Two and a Half Men comes along that keeps me coming back every week, but that’s extremely rare. Instead, I usually dig dark, creepy horror or science fiction thrillers — The Walking Dead, Hannibal, The Strain, etc. etc. In fact, the freakier the better. So, needless to say, I was beyond shocked when I screened last week’s premiere of SDRR and realized I just found a comedy that I not only liked but was pretty crazy about.
Continuing from where last week’s fantastic premiere left off, the gold mine in Johnny’s daughter, Gigi, becomes reality. A record contract. A 2000 sq. ft. loft for Johnny, Gigi, and the rest of the band, all expenses paid. All things considered, it looks like Johnny’s second chance he had always dreamed about, only difference is he’s in the songwriter’s chair now instead of being the front of the band. Johnny’s on a roll, so what could go wrong, right?
Well, the record contract has a catch. The contract states that Johnny must write 5 songs in two months, and during that time, no booze, no weed, no coke, no nothing. Hell, he’s not even allowed to have a glass of wine. Okay, let’s take a show of hands — how many actually think Johnny can pull something like that off? And, even if he did, would any song that he writes be worth sh*t? I seriously doubt it too.
Episode 1.02 of Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll is titled “Clean Rockin’ Daddy” and airs Thursday at 10/9c on FX.
