'Daisy Jones & The Six' Cast on Comparisons to Fleetwood Mac and ... (Entertainment Tonight)

While not based on a true story, the Prime Video series recalls Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles and other hit groups at the time.

At the time, he attributed her vocal recording of "He's a Rebel" to another group without her permission. Echoing that sentiment, Whitehouse revealed that he "was watching a lot of documentaries." The hits of the 1970s, however, were not just limited to the rock and roll genre, with disco emerging during the decade. Aurora, the group's album which was performed by the cast, was very much inspired by Fleetwood Mac as well as the Rolling Stones and many, many others. "It's the '70s, so it was just, like, the most incredible costumes. And although Keough looks nearly identical to Florence Welch while in costume as Daisy, she worked with costume designer Denise Wingate to pull from an array of influences to create her onscreen aesthetic. Like Reid, the cast was influenced by more than just Fleetwood Mac, with references ranging from Joni Mitchell to drummer Joe Jones to disco singer Loleatta Holloway and the show itself calling out Carole King's Tapestry and performing a cover of the Faces hit, "Oh La La." "It's certainly inspired by so many different bands from that time period as well," Harrison told ET. For the author, the Eagles really informed her book, especially after watching the two-part documentary, History of the Eagles. [Daisy Jones & The Six](https://www.etonline.com/tv/daisy-jones-the-six) is the captivating limited series chronicling the meteoric rise and fall of the titular rock band as they release their first album and embark on a massive tour before internal conflicts drive them apart. (The opening credits even features Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot." And this is them as well.'"

Daisy Jones & the Six movie review (2023) | Roger Ebert (Roger Ebert)

Ultimately, it's a show that feels small for a band that was reportedly so big.

There’s also an increasing sense that the show wastes its setting and period by staying in the studio or Billy’s house for such long stretches of time. [Almost Famous](/reviews/almost-famous-2000),” of course, but that’s not a criticism in that the show echoes that film’s joyous creative spirit at its best in these first chapters. Ponsoldt and his team give these episodes a buoyancy, and Claflin and Keough really understand the “hungry artist” chapters best of all, making that blend of ambition and anxiety that often coalesces into creative genius. The interviews establish the older versions of these characters and their bandmates as people with skeletons in their closets, and then the show reveals how they got buried. So the bulk of the drama plays out as a flashback, starting with introductions to Daisy Jones ( Adapted from Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling 2019 novel of the same name, “Daisy Jones & The Six” uses the tempestuous creative and personal dynamics within the band Fleetwood Mac to tell its own story of a ‘70s band that burned out instead of fading away.
