That’s about as close as this gritty six-part drama gets to Doctor Who, though. When Peter Capaldi, here playing mysterious criminal Gideon Shepherd, says “my perception of time is better than anyone’s,” it’s clear that The Devil’s Hour creator Tom Moran is having a little fourth-wall-breaking fun with his former Time Lord leading man.
Yet with its fantastic cast, period-perfect tone, and phenomenal soundtrack-one that’s warranted its own release as the album Aurora, by the series’ eponymous band- Daisy Jones & the Six takes on a life of its own. If it all sounds a bit Fleetwood Mac, that should come as no surprise-the author of the book the series is based on, Taylor Jenkins Reid, has said the legendary folk-rock band was an inspiration. Soon, her soulful vocals and insightful songwriting help propel The Six to the top of the charts-but at the height of their careers, everything comes tumbling down as years of wandering hearts, illicit sex, battles with sobriety, and the rigors of rock ‘n’ roll take their toll. In the late ‘60s, talented but listless ingenue Daisy (Riley Keough) meets aspiring rocker Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin) and his aspiring group, eventually joining the band herself.
Spanning a decade, Daisy Jones & the Six follows the formation, stratospheric success, and crushing break-up of the greatest band the 1970s never saw in reality.
