ITVX subscribers seeking their next must-watch series need not wait any longer, as a critically acclaimed 70s rock drama is set to arrive on the platform in just days. Described as a 'masterpiece,' the series holds an impressive 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
About the Series
'Daisy Jones & The Six,' based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's 2019 best-selling novel, was developed by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, the writers behind '500 Days of Summer.' The show draws inspiration from the legendary band Fleetwood Mac and stars Elvis Presley's granddaughter, Riley Keough, as Daisy Jones, alongside British actor Sam Claflin as Billy Dunne.
The ensemble cast includes Camila Morrone as Camila Alvarez, Suki Waterhouse as Karen Sirko, Will Harrison as Graham Dunne, Josh Whitehouse as Eddie Roundtree, Sebastian Chacon as Warren Rojas, Nabiyah Be as Simone Jackson, Tom Wright as Teddy Price, and Timothy Olyphant as Rod Reyes.
Plot and Reception
The series chronicles the rise of a fictional 1970s rock band from their early days to global fame, ultimately exploring the reasons behind their dramatic breakup at the peak of success. Upon its original release in 2023, the show garnered widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences.
One viewer enthused: 'I laughed and I cried and laughed again, then cried again. The best final episode of a series I've ever seen. Daisy, The Six, I love them all. It's rare for a show to feature such fully developed main and supporting characters. Daisy and The Six pulls this remarkable feat off with aplomb. Not only is this show a love affair with rock 'n roll, it's a love affair with love itself. The early years, the wild years, the final years and the yearning. It's all there. I'm so glad I could binge it all at once, because I couldn't bear to not be able to start and then finish this magnificent ode to life and love. Don't miss it.'
Another fan described it as 'Unmissable brilliance,' adding: 'Do yourself a favour and watch this, end to end and don't miss or skip anything because in the end, you'll need to really have felt every jarring moment, if you want to really feel the end as you bloody well should.'
A different viewer commented: 'A captivating and nostalgic tribute to 70s rock 'n' roll,' while another called it 'A Rock 'n' Roll Masterpiece That Will Leave You Breathless.' Yet another observer remarked: 'One of a kind, one of the top series I have ever watched. I just finished and I could go on again and again. From the first episode I could smell the potential of this show. Amazing how much you can get involved in the history of people and a band who never really existed.'
A further review noted: 'This show is unique, incredibly well-scripted and the acting in it is worth obsessing over. And if you, like me, love both 70s music and a good romance, I guarantee you'll watch it back to back, which by the way Stevie Nicks herself did. The music is way too good compared to what you'd expect from an original soundtrack for a TV series. I'm pretty sure Daisy Jones & The Six will be my top artist for the year and it's only January.'
