Daisy Jones & the Six review – not even Elvis's grandkid can save ... (The Guardian)

The stars sizzle with chemistry, the band shenanigans are fun and everyone and everything in it looks gorgeous – but it all just feels too slick and ...

When he gets out, their manager, Teddy Price (Tom Wright), puts them with his new discovery, Daisy Jones (Riley Keough), a beautiful, charismatic singer-songwriter with a slightly effortfully fiery spirit and anachronistic feminist awareness (present in the book but bumped up here). Four childhood friends in Pittsburgh, including brothers Billy (Sam Claflin) and Graham Dunne (Will Harrison), form a band in the hope of escaping their home town. They have kept the style and glamour – everyone and everything in it looks ceaselessly gorgeous – but failed to repeat Jenkins Reid’s great feat, which was to make you care about this group of talented, fortunate people who couldn’t keep themselves together enough to succeed for long, and who damaged an awful lot of people in the fallout.

Who Were the Real Life Daisy Jones & The Six? (Den of Geek)

Daisy Jones captures the voice of Stevie Nicks, but The Six don't quite match the makeup of Fleetwood Mac.

As much of Daisy Jones & the Six is told in flashback, we suspect the singer has a much longer shelf life than the rest of the band. Daisy Jones & the Six never get to do a follow-up album. The backstage life of Daisy Jones & The Six is more of an allegorical fantasy. It went straight to the top of the Billboard 200 as much on the power of such radio staples as “You Make Loving Fun,” and “Don’t Stop,” as it did from tabloid propulsion. He was singing The Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” at a party, and she joined in on harmonies. Nicks also dated royalty, but it was the new rock monarchy, the reigning princes of Laurel Canyon: The Eagles’ Don Henley, and Joe Walsh, and one of that band’s songwriters, alt-country pioneer J.D. Reid, who also wrote The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Malibu Rising, structures Daisy Jones & the Six as an oral history, taken from interviews with the band and the people around them. The band had steady gigs, often opening for Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin before breaking up in 1972. Stephanie Nicks was born in Phoenix, Arizona on May 26, 1948 and was singing duets with her grandfather, country singer Aaron Jess “A.J.” Nicks, Sr., by the time she was four. Which brings us to Daisy Jones & the Six. Christine Perfect, keyboardist and vocalist from the blues band Chicken Shack and twice voted England’s female artist of the year, started as a regular session player with the second album Mr. Her flowing stage outfits are representational of the image, making up for the lack of family support Daisy gets for her music.

Daisy Jones & The Six review: A '70s musical drama that's hard not ... (Radio Times)

As drummer Mick Fleetwood has said previously, Rumours was an album that "almost killed us" – and it's a familiar sentiment that is carried through Daisy Jones ...

Going into watching Daisy Jones & The Six, it's hard not to be conscious of the fact that this will likely be one of the most hyped-up series of the year. For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to [The Radio Times Podcast](https://www.radiotimes.com/audio/podcasts/). It's a musical drama about the slightly-damaged individuals in this fictional rock band and it does tackle themes like addiction, harassment, and discrimination — but all with a very light touch. Some added introspection on how their overnight success had a personal effect, rather than just in the context of relationships and parties, would have been a great addition. Alas, it is an apt reflection of the way that popular bands do tend to focus on their lead singers. But the drama could have done with slowing down a little more; we go from the teenage Dunne Brothers band to Los Angeles recording studios to tour buses and sold-out shows in what often feels like the blink of an eye. We get a fleeting scene here and there but soon, there's a level of familiarity between the pair that feels as though we've missed a crucial beat somewhere, especially since Billy really seems to despise Daisy at first. The biopic format of the series helps in this respect. With time, Daisy and Billy's memories are less reliable and speaking decades later also comes with apprehension to tell the whole truth. It's because of this added context that we understand why they come into that first meeting the way they do. As drummer Mick Fleetwood has said previously, Rumours was an album that "almost killed us" – and it's a familiar sentiment that is carried through Daisy Jones & The Six as we're taken on a very similar trajectory. Daisy makes a point of rewriting Billy's song, forcing him to rethink who he's writing for and why.

Daisy Jones And The Six: Meet the Amazon Prime Video show's ... (Daily Mail)

Amazon Prime Video's Daisy Jones & The Six is loosely inspired by Fleetwood Mac. It features a rock star cast like Elvis' granddaughter Riley Keough.

'I'm a guitarist in life but in the show I'm playing bass which is similar to my character. Funnily enough, he initially didn't read for the role of Graham. Will Harrison plays Billy's brother and The Six's co-creator, Graham Dunne. I spent the whole of Christmas learning, learning, learning. 'Karen is just the coolest. I think that's an unwavering quality that she has,' Morrone said of her character I had two weeks before I had to go to L.A. While she doesn't consider herself a 'singer,' it didn't cause her to shy away from the role. Billy formed the band with his brother, Graham Together, they become a huge hit soon after their formation in the 1970s, but with success comes complications that eventually cause the band to split. Keough plays the show and band's frontwoman, Daisy Jones. 'And honestly, I was born to play every role that I've played so far.

Daisy Jones & The Six Series-Premiere Recap: The Early Years (Vulture)

Like all good band histories, Daisy Jones & The Six starts at the beginning: Deadbeat parents, band practice, and cruising down the Sunset Strip.

After a year of rehearsals and bigger and better shows, a manager tells the Dunne Brothers they need to go to L.A., and Camila hops in the van, despite her parents’ clear objections to Billy, his rock-star dreams, and probably also the length of his hair. And lastly, there’s Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse), the English keyboardist the band meets at a gig. The episode ends with the band arriving on the Sunset Strip, staring up at the lights like kids on a class trip, just as Daisy Jones walks down the same stretch of pavement like she owns the place. Figuring out how good she was at belting out a sad song was a reaction to her mother slighting the lyrics she read in her diary. The show remakes Camila into an aspiring photographer, which is a nice excuse for how much band footage they have at their disposal for the documentary. Other real-life flashbacks feel more honest, like the meet-cute between Billy and Camila (a magnetic Camila Morrone) at a Pittsburgh fluff-and-fold. This is the kind of self-mythologizing that works when people are just sitting around and talking about themselves. Daisy is attracted to the refuge of the music, but she’ll stay for whatever substance is on offer, which leaves her vulnerable to the full-grown men who prey on her sexually. Anyway, as this is not a column about the series’s fidelity to the novel, I’ll retire the subject (for now) with a piece of advice. An epilogue to the novel includes the lyrics to some of the fake band’s most intimate and influential fake songs. When the band gives these interviews circa 1997, he seems the tensest in front of the camera and the most skeptical that the other band members — namely, Daisy — are volunteering for this turbulent trip down memory lane. About a year after the band starts rehearsing together, the Dunne Brothers are already booking local gigs — proms, graduations, and even a wedding where the brothers Dunne run into their deadbeat dad, who doesn’t bother to say hi or hide himself away in embarrassment.

Daisy Jones & the Six movie review (2023) | Roger Ebert (Roger Ebert)

Ultimately, it's a show that feels small for a band that was reportedly so big.

There’s also an increasing sense that the show wastes its setting and period by staying in the studio or Billy’s house for such long stretches of time. [Almost Famous](/reviews/almost-famous-2000),” of course, but that’s not a criticism in that the show echoes that film’s joyous creative spirit at its best in these first chapters. Ponsoldt and his team give these episodes a buoyancy, and Claflin and Keough really understand the “hungry artist” chapters best of all, making that blend of ambition and anxiety that often coalesces into creative genius. The interviews establish the older versions of these characters and their bandmates as people with skeletons in their closets, and then the show reveals how they got buried. So the bulk of the drama plays out as a flashback, starting with introductions to Daisy Jones ( Adapted from Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling 2019 novel of the same name, “Daisy Jones & The Six” uses the tempestuous creative and personal dynamics within the band Fleetwood Mac to tell its own story of a ‘70s band that burned out instead of fading away.

Daisy Jones & The Six Cast: Where You've Seen Riley Keough and ... (Den of Geek)

Prime Video drama Daisy Jones & The Six features some actors you've probably seen before ... albeit without instruments.

[Deadwood](https://www.denofgeek.com/deadwood/) and Raylan Givens on [Justified](https://www.denofgeek.com/justified/). Daisy Jones & The Six is not the only fictional musical act in the Prime Video series bearing the band’s name. He also popped up briefly in Boba Fett’s armor as Cobb Vanth on [The Mandalorian](https://www.denofgeek.com/the-mandalorian/) and again in [The Book of Boba Fett](https://www.denofgeek.com/boba-fett/). Though Billy Dunne’s guitarist brother Graham Dunne is a major part of Daisy Jones & The Six (and arguably the reason the band starts in the first place), the actor who plays him has a pretty light C.V. Daisy Jones & The Six drummer Warren Rojas is the platonic ideal of a laidback percussionist. [Poldark](https://www.denofgeek.com/poldark/). [Nabiyah Be is a musician herself](https://www.nabiyahbe.com), along with being a dancer, poet, and an actor. While Fleetwood Mac is very much real (and great!), Daisy Jones & The Six is not real (though also great!). Contributing to that sense of verisimilitude is that the cast of Daisy Jones & The Six all fit their roles to a tee. With that in mind, here is everything you need to know about the cast of Daisy Jones & The Six. Notably he also played Mycroft Holmes in Netflix’s [Enola Holmes](https://www.denofgeek.com/enola-holmes/). Riley Keough is a fitting choice to play lead singer Daisy Jones as music is quite literally in the young actress’s blood.

Daisy Jones & the Six Recap: The Orphan Years (Vulture)

Houston, we have a pacing problem. At least now we also have Teddy. A recap of “I'll Take You There,” episode 2 of Amazon's 'Daisy Jones & The Six.'

Teddy drives Billy to the hospital on the night baby Julia is born, but Billy is too drunk, stoned, and self-loathing to even get out of the car. She actually takes the time to write him a song that moves the way he tells her a song should. Eventually, Daisy falls under the same spell that gripped Billy for a time — a need to please Teddy Price. When Teddy first offers to work with her, she’s offended that he suggests her songs need work at all, that she hasn’t arrived on the scene fully formed. Camila makes them whole, and Camila makes them the Six. And The Six leave pregnant Camila in the hills as they embark on their first real tour. For Billy, the tour could not be coming at a more — and less — opportune moment. With 16 minutes left in the episode, all of the following occurs: The Six records an entire album off-screen. He eventually agrees to call his buddy at Filthy McNasty’s, the dirtiest and emptiest club on the Strip, to set them up with a gig, but that’s where the free help ends. Eventually, the Six do get a chance with Teddy. The band is just as smitten with her lush keyboards as young Graham is smitten with the English rose playing them. When the name Teddy Price (Tom Wright) is first uttered in the series premiere, Billy Dunne’s reverence is clear; by the end of “I’ll Take You There,” that reverence feels entirely deserved.

'Daisy Jones & the Six': Riley Keough, Sam Claflin Bring Band to Life (Variety)

'Daisy Jones & the Six' stars Riley Keough and Sam Claflin and the show's music team explain how they brought the fictional '70s band to life.

“It wasn’t something that had to sound like a lost record of that moment,” he says. Mumford first heard about “Daisy Jones & the Six” from Mills nearly four years ago, and was happy to support his friend on this “epic quest” that he knew had been quite challenging. I remember it feeling extremely collaborative, open-hearted and with the free spirit that I think ends up being conveyed in the song.” “And to Riley and Sam’s credit, they stepped up.” “In all honesty, one of the best things to ever happen to this production was the fact that we had a delay,” Claflin says. “Writing this slightly embattled dialogue between these two characters was just a really fun exercise,” Mumford says. I think she was a combination of many women and men, actually.” “In that moment, the pressure also got lifted a bit. So we just kind of met and then were put face-to-face and they were like, ‘Sing at each other!'” “[Bands] spend so much time together that they know what each person’s going to do,” Pine says. “Our initial concern when Sam and Riley were cast was that it would be putting a lot of pressure on two people who had never sung professionally to be responsible for singing 25 songs. Not to worry: “Daisy Jones,” which is backed by Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, recruited a stellar music team to bring the band to life.

All the Fleetwood Mac drama that inspired Daisy Jones & the Six (British GQ)

Amazon's new series, Daisy Jones & the Six, uses Fleetwood Mac as unofficial inspiration for its take on a rock band's success in the '70s.

[1973](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/men-of-the-year/article/andrew-scott-style), while on tour, Weston had an affair with Jenny Boyd, [Fleetwood](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/lifestyle/article/mick-fleetwood-car-collection)'s wife, who he then divorced.

[70s](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/gallery/best-corduroy-trousers) when love was free and social media didn't exist to show it all in real-time. “[It was] the most expensive affair I’ve ever had in my life,” Weston [said](https://www.express.co.uk/expressyourself/295491/Obituary-Bob-Weston-Lead-guitarist-with-Fleetwood-Mac-November-1-1947-January-3-201) later. By the time ’ [70s](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/gallery/most-stylish-men-of-the-1970s) rolled around, the group had found a footing with the addition of McVie's wife, keyboardist [Christine McVie](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/christine-mcvie-fleetwood-mac-songs), and guitarist Bob Weston. The group was formed in the late ‘60s by Peter Green, with a revolving door of [Mick Fleetwood](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/article/harry-style-pleasing-mick-fleetwood) and John McVie at various points.

But it was, and here are some of the foundational Fleetwood Mac dramas that influence [Daisy Jones & The Six](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/daisy-jones-and-the-six-fleetwood-mac). Weston was fired from the band which set it up for the group's seminal Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham era. This era of rock royalty is a prime breeding ground for TV and film adaptations, and no group created more drama on and off stage, with equally terrible and incredible results, than [Fleetwood Mac](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/fleetwood-mac-songs). The tortured love affairs, break-ups and, as a result, some of the best songs ever created, offer great inspiration for a series, perhaps because most of it feels too spectacular to actually be real.

Daisy Jones & The Six: All the Songs on Aurora Reviewed (Den of Geek)

Fictional band Daisy Jones & The Six now has a very real album. Here is every song on their debut Aurora rated by angst.

“Two Against Three” does this a little better, but as this is a duet, it’s the first time they come together on a ballad like this, acknowledging they’ve exhausted their efforts in knowing to do what’s right. In comparison to “More Fun To Miss,” which is Daisy Jones & The Six’s version of a messed up diss track, “Please” becomes all about Billy and his resistance to temptation in all its forms as the band continue to gain popularity. For the actors on the show, this remains a highlight for them. Seemingly taking more inspiration from later-stage The Beatles than the ongoing theme of Fleetwood Mac B-sides this album has so far been made of, Billy is flat out begging for the object of his desires to go away, telling them he has a family like he has a gun to his head and is trying to save his life. “More Fun To Miss” is a song created FOR Daisy rather than BY Daisy, and comes with a strutting sound more akin to punky groups like The Runaways than the other, smoother rock bands they otherwise try to emulate on the album. Things are toned back down with “You Were Gone.” The mood is slower, and focused more on Billy rather than Daisy. “Regret Me” is the leading song in Daisy Jones & The Six, and it’s easy to see why. Taking shots at each other’s drinking and personal attitudes, “Regret Me” is about one-upmanship more than it is about romance – though the tension is clearly present in every lyric they spit at each other. With a killer middle eight as the music rises, “Look At Us Now” is a couple resigned rather than a couple fighting for each other. While the female vocals are crying out for their counterpart to make more effort, the man is making promises that it seems he can’t cash. This is angsty and desperate, with both sides becoming frustrated with how the romance stands, both waiting for the other to mess up. [Based loosely on Fleetwood Mac’s iconic Rumours](https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/who-were-the-real-life-daisy-jones-the-six/), Aurora offers characters Billy and Daisy (Sam Claflin and Riley Keough) an outlet for their bottled up rage and sexual tension.

A Daisy Jones & the Six Page-to-Screen Character Guide (Vulture)

Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) and Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin), the co-leads, don't meet until halfway through the third episode, and it feels as if the story is ...

In the book, Pete Loving is the bassist of the band and the older brother of Eddie. But it’s also one of the most amusing changes because it means there are only five members in the Six (unless you count Camila). Easily the biggest and best change in the TV adaptation is the expansion of Simone Jackson (Nabiyah Be), the Donna Summer–esque disco pioneer who served mostly as a friend and voice of reason for Daisy in the book. He notably has the fewest lines of any of the Six in the oral history, offering only one update years after leaving the music industry. As in the book, Teddy Price plays an important role as not only the music producer who brings together Daisy Jones and the Six but as a paternal figure to Billy. She’s beautiful and charismatic, and you want to both party with her and watch her work — but, as in the book, the genius Daisy and the flighty, unreliable addict Daisy are a package deal. In that sense, the series’ Eddie Roundtree (Josh Whitehouse) is pretty faithful. Performances in movies such as The Lodge and Zola have proven Keough’s ability to go big, but it’s her gift for subtlety that plays a critical role in making Daisy feel like more than just a Stevie Nicks knockoff. But a documentary style is a natural fit for a novel written as an oral history, and the later episodes come alive especially by structuring their stories around events or periods of time: a daylong brainstorming session in which Daisy and Billy’s creative partnership really takes off, for example, or a trip to the Greek island of Hydra in which none of the Six appear. At one point in the book, while considering the band’s hit album (and Rumours stand-in) Aurora, keyboardist Karen Sirko speculates, “Was the album our best one because Billy was forced to let us in on the composing and arranging from the outset? But as with any adaptation, certain details don’t make the cut, and characters are inevitably altered in significant or minor ways, for good or ill. The biggest hurdle in adapting a novel like Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones & the Six is reproducing the format: a transcribed oral history of a fictional rock band loosely inspired by Fleetwood Mac, told by interviewees speaking 40 years after their final performance.

Daisy Jones & The Six (Empire)

Riley Keough and Sam Claflin star in Prime Video's adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel. Read more at Empire.

It takes a little while (and a whole lot of fairly dull backstory) to get there – but hopefully sets the stage for a more lively second half of the season. Of the rest of the bunch, Camila Morrone is strongest as band photographer and Billy’s wife, also Camila. Despite all of that, Daisy Jones lacks bite; its glossy, washed-out sheen dampens almost every emotion you’re supposed to be experiencing as you witness the highs and lows of the band’s success. She is magnetic, idiosyncratic, and convincing as a woman with ambitions to be more than just a muse at a time when dreaming of such a thing was difficult. (Which is, perhaps, the point.) Taylor Jenkins Reid’s wildly successful novel about a Fleetwood Mac-esque 1970s supergroup, both bolstered and thwarted by their internal relationship dramas and clashing artistic visions, gets the small screen treatment here.

The series isn’t the only project to recently tap New Orleans as a stand-in for Chicago, as the new movie Hydra, which is about a four-hour ferry ride from Athens, is no stranger to the music scene. New Orleans and other locations across Louisiana, including Hammond and Baton Rouge, were selected to portray the rest of the United States. Another venue makeover took place at Whisky a Go Go, as well as neighboring shops on the strip. The series uses various filming locations to bring the fictional band’s home base, tour stops, and vacation destinations to life. The production transformed landmarks on the Sunset Strip, taking them back to their former 1970s flair, according to

They ranged from the casual, all-American style of The Brady Bunch to the motif-heavy creations of Diane von Furstenberg. In the grand scheme of things, it was a good decade for fashion (certainly better than its successor, the ‘80s) – you can’t go wrong with a flared jeans/floaty blouse/platform wedges silhouette.

These songs accompany the tale of a rock and roll group from Pittsburgh making a name for themselves after moving to California. While the story parallels the trajectory of the fictional group The Six and solo star Daisy Jones separately at first, ‘Dancing Barefoot’ by Patti Smith takes a prominent spot in the tracklist. The first episode includes tunes from the golden age of singer-songwriters, with Carole King’s ‘I Feel the Earth Move’ and ‘Goin’ Back’ taking a prime spot.
