“Daisy Jones & The Six” rocks Amazon’s Top 10 Watch List, with its heartbreaking storyline that twists and turns with every episode. 

The show is based on a 2019 book by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which has become a hot buy again at bookstores nationwide. 

The book was inspired by the tension between former Fleetwood Mac artists, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. 

Reid said an intense glare between Nicks and Buckingham during a concert “loosely inspired” the fictional 1970s group and brought her idea to life. 

The creators carefully selected a cast of celebrities, including Sam Claflin — known for his role as Finnick Odair from the Hunger Games Trilogy. 

Daisy Jones is played by Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough, who has acted in a handful of B-list films as a minor character or an extra. 

The plot of the show is a mix between a love triangle and forbidden love, with Easter eggs found in the sunglasses of characters in advertisements. 

In the first few episodes, Daisy is on her own, trying to get a start in the music business while struggling with her family, a minor drug problem and the hardships of Los Angeles music culture. 

While Daisy is struggling, The Six are planning to get out of their garage and the small bars in Pittsburgh where they perform. 

Lead singer and guitarist Billy Dunne, played by Claflin, meets with big-time record producer Teddy Price, played by Tom Wright, and the group finally gets their shot, but ultimately squander it. 

With nothing left after a failed attempt at stardom, Teddy introduces Billy and Daisy. 

They don’t hit it off, and the tension portrayed in their meeting deserves an Oscar, yet the pair become close and start writing together. 

Billy and Daisy’s story is almost perfect, but Billy is already married to Camilla, played by Camilla Morrone, yet that doesn’t stop the feelings between the two. 

As time goes on, the series becomes more focused on Daisy and Billy, with colliding storylines between the rest of the band members, as well as a parallel look at Camilla’s life as a mother. 

The cinematography of the series is beautiful. Every episode is in a different location, making the hecticness of the group seem even more chaotic, yet amusing — one day they’re in the desert having a photo shoot, and the next episode someone’s in Greece.

The storyline is ever-evolving, and each Friday night I found myself impatient for another episode. The twists of the storyline are entertaining and heartbreaking, but the bittersweet ending is what makes the show perfect — leaving you with the pieces of your own heart to stitch back together. 

This series is perfect for a weekend binge-watch, and a show I will forever rewatch.
