Man I fell in love with this from episode 1. Dave is easily the most influential person in my life musically and this series only guarantees that more. The way he went about interviewing people from all walks of life in each city and the old videos he pulled up are unbelievable. Definitely a 10/10. Great job Dave! #FF

Each episode is an American music education. But filled with the rock genius of Dave Grohl and his Fighters Of Foo. It's a must watch if you love music of any genre really.

I am not a big fan of Foo Fighters, but I am a huge fan of Dave Grohl. I love this series, it was inspiring and touching. It's interesting to see how the creative mind of a musician works. Dave Grohl has a huge, positive spirit and this show captures his true colors. I highly recommend it.
