![]() ![]() 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 waiting until that point to really take off - unlike the book, in which the long wait allows for a thorough exploration of the band’s various backstories. The first few episodes suffer a bit from some common translation pitfalls. But despite some tweaks - the interviews take place only 20 years later in the series - Prime Video’s new ten-episode miniseries has accomplished the task. 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. ![]()
