Have I told you my Who story? Apparently Roger Daltry had a falling out with one of the band members (I can't remember which one - I can't remember the names of any of the band members - I doubt it was Moon, considering he was dead.) Anyhow, that member popped up at the Launch of the DVD Release for the Kids are Alright Documentary. (I used to own it - I don't now). And Daltry and that member reunited - exciting their marketing manager and promoter, Martin Lewis (who I was working for at the time as a "marketing intern"). (*Side note: you got to go the Beatles DVD Release Party because of that job.) Anyhow - this launch party was the first time the two had talked since the band broke up. I can't remember what the falling out involved, but it was a heck of lot more interesting than Daisy Jones.
Daisy Jones and the Six is an attempt to dramatize Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac (mixed in with a little A Star is Born).
Have you watched any of it? Because no, really not. There's no Star is Born in there at all. Billy Dunn is not the wrecked rock and roller has been - he and Daisy are the same age. And she's not some wet-behind-the-ears wannabe. She'd been performing and writing at the same time, more or less.
I'd say really really loosely based on Fleetwood Mac. It reminded me of Fleetwood Mac at first - but Mac's was more interesting.
What's the set-up? Daisy is thrown together with the Six (Billy, his brother (Eddie who is in love with Billy's wife), Camilla (Billy's wife and the group's photographer), Graham (the bass), some guy who is the drummer, and Kendra (the keyboardist).) Outside of Billy and Daisy, no one is really all that developed. And all feel like stock characters.
It's told in flashbacks interview style.
I've seen about 6-7 episodes now, so I'd say I've got a good handle on it. The songs? Lackluster. I can't remember them. Fleetwood Mac, they aren't. And the singing - so so. Sam Clafin isn't that great and having seen him in three things now - I'd say he was at his best playing the fascist in Peaky Blinders. I think he's too old for this part. Everyone looks like they are in their twenties, he looks like he's in his late thirties early forties.
It reminded me of Fleetwood Mac until about the fourth episode and I thought, eh no.
