The series stars Riley Keough as Daisy Jones, a beautiful and rebellious singer-songwriter who joins forces with The Six, a group led by Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin), a charismatic and talented frontman who struggles with addiction and family issues. Together, they create some of the most iconic songs of their era, such as "Aurora" and "Honeycomb", but also face conflicts, rivalries, romances and betrayals that threaten to tear them apart.

Daisy Jones & The Six is a compelling and immersive portrayal of the seduction and turmoil of rock 'n' roll in 1970s America. It captures the spirit and sound of that decade with an authentic production design, costumes, makeup and music.

The series also explores themes such as artistry, creativity, fame, love, friendship, identity and feminism in a nuanced and engaging way. It does not shy away from showing the dark side of the music industry or the personal demons that haunt some of the characters. It also pays homage to real-life bands such as Fleetwood Mac without being derivative or clichéd.

This miniseries is a captivating and nostalgic tribute to 70s rock 'n' roll that will make you feel like you are part of their journey.
