Review: 'Daisy Jones & The Six'

Unless you were born yesterday, you’ve seen it all before.The book by Taylor Jenkins Reid sold over a million copies. The Amazon streaming series won two prime-time Emmys.

No downers here. Not many spoilers even. The narrative of Reid’s novel is a series of latter-day inteview quotes from the band members, who are finally coming clean about what happened.

Like it’s any surprise?

Taylor Jenkins Reid got producer credit on the Amazon series. Not all novelists are so fortunate. Novelists typically get “technical advisor” in their movie-rights agreement, which means they might or might not get access to the set - and almost never script or casting approval. The series credits twelve other writers and as many producers. Suffice it to say that movies and albums, unlike novels, are collaborative media.
