Daisy Jones & The Six

Many of the negative comments were written after watching only 1 or 2 episodes. That is ridiculous. You can't fully appreciate a 10-part series unless you have seen it all. My wife and I are enjoying it as interesting fiction.

This 10-part series is a production of Amazon Prime. The first three episodes, roughly 45 to 50 minutes each, became available streaming on March 3rd. Additional episodes will be available each of the next three Fridays.

This is fiction but from what I have learned over the years, about how now-famous bands got together back in the 1960s and early 1970s, it seems very authentic.

First there are two brothers and a few friends from Pittsburgh who decide to form a band. They play a number of local gigs but are going nowhere, until someone suggests that they go west, to the Los Angeles area, the melting pot and hot spot for the formation of music groups. So they did, naively thinking that it would be straightforward. They quickly found out it wasn't.

A parallel story is that of Daisy, growing up in the Los Angeles area. She has always enjoyed music from a very young age, would sing along with recordings, but was never encouraged. So she struck it out alone when she turned 18.

Episode three is devoted to how Daisy and the band "The Six" were able to meet for the first time, through a music producer, and make their first recording together.

My wife and I have seen the first three episodes and we find it very interesting, as we both grew up with the music of the 1960s and 1970s, and know parts of the stories of many groups that became famous back then. We will continue to watch as more episodes become available and I will update my review after the series ends. This is not a series you can meaningfully review just by watching one or two early episodes.
