As much as many adults yearn to "go home again"--to return to the place of their childhood and somehow magically return to a simpler time of close friendships and few responsibilities--the inevitability of change ensures that that homecoming will never be as simple or utopian as it seems. Best-selling novelist Nick Garrett (Bryan Greenberg) returns home to the quiet town of Knights Ridge, Massachusetts after a 10-year absence to find his friends and family disappointed and angry with him because of his prolonged, silent absence and his unfavorable characterizations of them in his novel. Nick struggles to reconnect with his closest childhood friends, but things have changed for them all: Physical Phil (Jay Paulson) has become a shut-in after the events of September 11, 2001 and refuses to leave his home, Owen Rowan (Brad William Henke) is now a devoted husband and father, Eddie Latekka (Geoff Stults) owns a landscape business and holds a powerful grudge against Nick, Ikey (Evan Jones) is stuck in a dead-end job shoveling mulch, Nick's old girlfriend Hannah (Laura Prepon) has a 10-year old son Sam (Slade Pearce) whom Nick suspects may be his son, and former outsider Ray "Big Cat" Cataldo seems to be the most successful of the group as the owner of the town's biggest construction company. While the past is a powerful bond that rekindles old friendships, even repeatedly returning the group to a make-believe stage where they lip-synch and play air guitar to their favorite songs, their relationships with one another are intrinsically changed. Add in Nick's complicated attempts to make a place for himself as an educator at the local college under Dean Etwood (Penny Johnson) and cultivate a new relationship with his student Aubrey (Odette Yustman), and life becomes incredibly complicated. October Road is a powerful drama that explores the passage of time and the power and limitations of friendship through a rich cast of characters. --Tami Horiuchi

Fantastic
Great-Great show thats definately worth purchasing, I just watched all six episodes of Season 1 last night, Can hardly wait for the release of season 2.

If you liked the movie Beautiful Girls you'll love October Road!
October Road is brought to us by the creaters of the movie Beautiful Girls (starring Timothy Hutton, Uma Thurman, Matt Dillon, Rosie O'Donnell etc.)...an all-time favorite movie of mine, it's no wonder I fell in love with October Road from the start!

October Road reminds me of My So Called Life when it first came out, underrated and not given a chance by many. But if you give it a chance, you'll see that this show is at the top of the best programming out there. The acting is first class, even though you won't know most of the cast. This isn't a bad thing though because never knowing them as another character (minus Hannah), makes them that much more believable as this character. The storylines are interesting, entertaining, thought-provoking and fun. The music in each episode is the crown upon it's head! There's nothing I don't like about this show. It's a subtle masterpiece.

If you haven't caught this show yet you really need to! I can't say enough good things about it.

One of the best shows on TV
October Road is one of the best shows. I watched it from the begining and loved it. I purchased it to watch again and again.
