"Daisy Jones & the Six"

Plowed through this one in a day and a half.  A "fictional" rock band in the 1970s goes through what all rock bands seem to go through.  There is the sudden rise, the pressure, the drugs, the sex, the break-up.  But there is so much more here.  More subtlety, more nuances.  In this very well-produced pretend documentary there are a ton of things implied but not said.  It makes the viewer bring themselves into the picture, trying to better understand how to fill in the gaps.  The cast is terrific, and, with the exception of Sam Claflin, do a great job of aging up and down (Mr. Claflin is a terrific actor, but I'm sorry, don't buy him as a 20-something).  It's a tale where you think you know where it is going -- it is ~heavily~ influenced by Fleetwood Mac -- but in the end, there are twists you didn't see coming.  The music is terrific and well-performed by Riley Keough (yeah, she might have some genetic help with her rough yet sweet voice) but it also creates the dilemma.  Since the score of the show uses the biggest 70s hits (in delightful ways), you are hearing the actual hits with the ones written for this pretend band.  And, while the music "Daisy Jones & the Six" band plays is great, it just doesn't hold up to Led Zepplin, the Eagles, or, you know, the real Fleetwood Mac.  It is an absolutely terrific mini-series.  It just isn't perfect.
