Originating from the hit novel “Daisy Jones and the Six,” author Taylor Jenkins Reid transferred the radiant energy from the book to the screen. “Daisy Jones and the Six” presents a new sound unknown to the newer generations. With its mix of Fleetwood Mac and seventies style, the show produced by Reese Witherspoon offers a new, smooth sound. The many factors of the seventies are prevalent throughout the show through its vibrant style, music, and language. 

The novel “Daisy Jones and the Six” first came out in March of 2019, and it is still a number one bestseller.  

Daisy Jones and the Six centers around Daisy, a young girl who grows up in Los Angeles, and is surrounded by art and creativity throughout her whole life. She always thought she was just living in the shadows of other artists, but going to many concerts and listening to more music unveiled her need to start performing. 

While Daisy had her rockstar glory, Billy Dunne, who is a male singer trying to make something of himself, is introduced into the story. Billy’s dream is to start a band with his brother and some friends, and throughout the novel, the reader sees how some of those dreams get in the way of his judgment. 

“Daisy Jones and the Six was amazing with a great cast that brought the book to life in a fun and accurate way,” Pascack Hills sophomore Julianna Ciaudelli said. She is a fan of both book and show adaptations. 

Riley Keough, who plays the main character Daisy–and, is widely known for being Elvis Presley’s granddaughter– really stands out amongst others. Daisy is the lead singer of the group, but starts out as a solo artist. She encounters music producer Teddy Price (Tom Wright) at one of her shows, and he is the reason Daisy Jones and the Six become a band in the show. 

In the first and last episodes, she portrayed raw emotions on the screen and sang passionately in songs such as “Look At Us Now (Honeycomb)” and “The River.” These two songs are also fan favorites, according to Collider. 

“Look At Us Now (Honeycomb)” is an important song in the show, and represents a significant meaning that prevails throughout the show. The song is a representation of redemption, and trying to redeem yourself after a bad situation. 

“How do we get here?/ How do we get out?” are lyrics within the song that capture these feelings indefinitely. 

This song is important to the show because it really is the epitome of feeling guilty. Which, throughout the show, many characters possess toward their actions.

“The River” is a song that represents the stages of love and how love makes you see things about others that were not there before. 

Within the song, the lyrics, “Will you chase me in my dreams? / If I throw it all in the river And let the rhythm take the lead / Will it stay with you and never / Let you leave on me?” portray a story of different paths in life. It talks of needing space from someone who you hold so dear, even if it hurts.  

Sam Clafin plays the male lead in “Daisy Jones and the Six,” Billy Dune. Through his other characters within works such as “Me Before You,” “Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” and “Enola Holmes,” Sam Clafin is often credited by fans as “the king of book to movie adaptations.” 

Through his portrayal of Billy Dune, he shows that book to movie adaptation characters can be accurate. Billy Dunne is the main male character who has a band with his little brother Graham Dunne (Will Harrison), the lead guitarist of the band. 

The supporting characters are also the heart of the show as well. Camila Morrone who portrays Camila, Billy’s girlfriend, is a very influential character throughout the show. Joshua Whitehouse, who plays Eddie, the bassist of the band, also supports the show and adds some drama as well.

Suki Waterhouse and Sebastian Chacon shine in the supporting cast as well. Karen, who is played by Waterhouse, is the pianist of the band, as well as the only girl within the band. Warren, who is played by Chachon, is the drummer; he is one of the more drama-free, laid-back characters within the group. 

The purpose of “Daisy Jones and the Six” is to capture bands in the seventies, as well as the repercussions faced by bands throughout their careers. It also shows the inner conflicts that occurred within the bands that were not made as public. With all the necessities needed to make a good spring binge such as; romance, drama, and music, this show is a must watch.
