REVIEW: Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2019 book 'Daisy Jones & the Six' gets a Prime Video adaptation starring Riley Keough and Sam Claflin about a fictional Seventies rock band’s demise.
There are a lot of promising individual components, and some juicy drama. ButThe first is that the book’s oral-history format — with Billy, Daisy, and the rest providing differing accounts of the Six’s tumultuous rise and fall — is an irresistible gimmick. We’ve been inundated with real classic-rock oral histories over the years, and in this case, the format makes you constantly question who and what to believe.
Which brings us to the other core issue. Just as the book invited you to choose your own version of the truth to believe, it allowed you to imagine what the Six sounded like. That’s not an option here. Unlike Stillwater in— a movie set in roughly the same time period, and also featuring the band doing an impromptu singalong to diffuse a moment of great tension — we have to believe that the Six were, for a time, the biggest and best band in the entire world.
