It takes A MOM!

[cindyrellaexists · 10/10 · 7 May 2021]

I just watched the first episode and loved every second. How perfect that it's released close to Mother's Day! Just watch it. I can't wait to see more of this series.

Oh and the pictures of Mrs. Grohl when she was younger reminded me of Dave's oldest daughter Violet. Both stunning!

Fantastic!

First of all there's Dave Grohl and his Mom! Second, the focus being on Imagine Dragons and Dan Reynolds was very informative.. cannot wait for the remaining episodes!

Enjoyable Interviews

[Lillykin · 10/10 · 15 March 2022]

I rated this 10 stars because of concept and the ease of Virginia and Dave's interactions with the subjects of each episode. I love how Dave's story is interwoven with juxtaposition to the subject's own story.

I knew who all interviewees were except for Morello. The interview with Morello was interesting, but I don't align with everything he and his mother, Mary, advocate. While many people, like Bono, admire Mary's spitfire nature, I wouldn't idolize either Morellos.

Miranda's interview was enlightening. I only knew her from media coverage because of her divorce. I can't say that I enjoyed that one, but still worth watching if only to see the differences between all the featured mothers.

I really enjoyed the interviews with Geddy Lee (his mom's history is fascinating), Pharrell (the contrast between his professional and personal life), and Dan Reynolds.(growing up mormon, having a brother in the business who didn't help him and what he has done and continues to do for the community).

Lastly, I love Brandi Carlile but felt her story was intentionally kept high level, knowing what's in her book, Broken Horses. I think there were deeper things that could have been explored in this episode.

Loved it!

Watched the first episode and just loved it. I've been an Imagine Dragons fan since their first CD. I was lucky enough to see them at Bottlerock Napa. I splurged for the V. I. P and they were worth every penny. One of the best concerts I've been to. Dan Reynolds you make a big difference in so many peoples lives.

New Fan

We were watching Picard on Paramount+ this morning and stumbled on From Cradle To Stage. Here we are 6 hours later after binge watching the entire series. Please say there's a Season 2 in the works!! We were surprised at how heartfelt and emotional each episode was. The Mom's dinner at the end with the Mother's not featured makes us hopeful that they're coming. I would probably be in tears the entire time if Amy Winehouse's mom has an episode, but it would be worth it. Each Mother was so amazing in their own way. We need more!!

Informative and insightful

[bletcherstonerson · 7/10 · 3 July 2021]

I liked this, only up to episode 3, my advice is watch it without commercials. Paramount has more commercials than they program itself. It's brutal. I purchased Paramount just to watch this program and as good as the show is, I don't think I can make it through to watch another episode on the platform because it's like hitting every red light on your way home from work.. I digress, the show is informative, and has some raw moments and great insight. There are awkward moments of a religious current running through the show. That's my hang up, I distrust anyone who makes declarative statements on how important religion is for family stability, and that theme repeats itself every episode so far. That is just a view and is not be indicative of whether the viewer will see it the same way. Definitely worth viewing...just not on the bargain package.
