Daisy Jones & the Six

While Daisy Jones & The Six successfully brings the book’s characters and music to life, pacing-wise, it suffers from a similar problem as Pet...

There’s enough musical archeology to all of this, the LA "Sunset Strip" scene with The Troubadour, recording studios and the like, the band’s...

For all the series’ delights – the chemistry between Sam Claflin and Riley Keough, the constant scene-stealing by Camila Morrone, the fizzines...

The music – and there is a whole album’s worth of original songs – is fun if lacking depth, like everything else in the series. Try as i...

Daisy’s personality is huge, but it’s not just the band over which she’s running roughshod – it’s the show. As a delivery system for two...

It’s a good series, well-acted, competently scripted. But it just doesn’t quite rock.

Although the era is reconstructed with lavish attention to detail, there’s no shunning the impression that these are beautiful actors cosplaying Se...

Though the Amazon version of Daisy Jones is very watchable, it also never finds its own equivalent secret ingredient to push it over the top.

It’s a musical drama about the slightly-damaged individuals in this fictional rock band and it does tackle themes like addiction, harass...

The whole thing lacks a certain crackle, its sepia palette begging for literal and figurative color.

The show looks and sounds polished, beautifully capturing the earth-toned aesthetics of the era and producing an impressive album of earworms. But...

"Daisy Jones & the Six" is too concerned about being cool instead of finding the true currency underneath the façade of rock history.

With a better script, a looser concept and fewer episodes, Daisy Jones and The Six could have been something really special. In its worst mome...

Daisy Jones & The Six is so tepid and deliberately inoffensive it almost becomes the opposite. To even dimly invoke the legacy of Fleetwood Mac in...

The series is more hollow and hackneyed than the novel… Daisy Jones does hit a few high notes. Keough grounds what could’ve been an ethereal sad gi...

In this fictionalized spin on Fleetwood Mac, Riley Keough (grandkid of King Elvis) does herself proud, rocking out like Stevie Nicks on the sexy, d...

Rather than expanding this universe, the detours into Simone’s storyline do more to spotlight its limits. It becomes easier to imagine the more swe...

Solid, if slightly underwhelming – but Riley Keough’s star quality leaps off the screen, and there is many a magical musical moment.

The series falls into a number of expected traps. It’s the "same old tired rock and roll tale,” as Billy puts it, and he’s not wrong. But the...

Sure, it’s serviceable as a decent binge for people who get off on reading about how much Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham hated each other...

"Daisy" will find an audience, though its lazy reliance on '70s counter-cultural clichés and apocryphal stories grows tiresome.

It’s disappointing that "Daisy Jones" mostly falls back on rock ‘n’ roll clichés and shameless melodrama.

Although the series gains more heft after Billy gets out of rehab, and more torque once Daisy arrives, Daisy Jones & the Six never properly comes t...
