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 sanitary
’s bestseller Daisy Jones & the Six is a beautifully controlled depiction of the exuberant rise and chaotic fall of a 1970s band – fictional but very much reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac. It captured the glamour, the hedonism, the freedom, the joy of unleashing talent and the agony of addiction, all the while building an acute psychological portrait of each character and – even more impressively – the cross-currents between them all.
It is a rags-to-riches-to-slightly-less-raggy-rags story. Four childhood friends in Pittsburgh, including brothers Billy and Graham Dunne , form a band in the hope of escaping their home town. With the addition of Karen Sirko , poached from another band and an unrequited love interest for Graham, they make it to LA and are on the brink of stardom when Billy’s addictions overcome him and he enters rehab.
