Hop on in the little hippie Volkswagen Microbus. We are going back to the ‘70s! Amazon Prime Video’s new mockumentary series, “Daisy Jones & The Six,” aired its first season finale on March 24, transporting fans to a world of flared pants, arena rock ‘n’ roll and backstage melodrama.
Daisy Jones and the Six is now viewable on Amazon Prime Video.
“Daisy Jones & The Six” is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s New York Times best-selling novel of the same name. The novel released in March 2019, with Amazon buying the TV rights nearly a year before it reached the shelves.
Inspired by Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen and other ‘70s artists, the show takes us on the journey of a fictional rock band called The Six, which is later called Daisy Jones & the Six. The band is led by an intriguing and talented women named Daisy Jones.
The story mostly follows the same plot as the original novel, more or less. The series focuses on the love triangle between Daisy, portrayed by Riley Keough, Daisy’s co-songwriter, Billy Dunne, played by everyone’s favorite rom-com boyfriend Sam Claflin, and Billy’s wife, Camila Dunne, played by Camilla Morrone. Other cast members include Suki Waterhouse as the keyboardist, Karen, Sebastian Chacon as the drummer, Warren, Josh Whitehouse as the rhythm guitarist, Eddie, and Will Harrison as Billy’s brother, Graham.
In the series, Daisy Jones & the Six becomes one of the most popular bands in 1970s America. From their starting roots in Los Angeles to their growing reputation as one of the most iconic bands in history, as well as the drama surrounding their split at the peak of their stardom, this mockumentary explores the band’s rise to fame. The series deconstructs what tore the band apart over 10 episodes, recounted through interviews with Daisy Jones and The Six.
The soundtrack of the series is a masterpiece of its own, and it sounds better than most TV shows’. Big stars including Phoebe Bridgers, Madison Cunningham and Jackson Browne contributed to the series soundtrack, with Blake Mills leading the production.
The series is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
