“Daisy Jones & The Six”: The rock’n’roll soap opera

I was never a big fan of soap operas. The last one I saw was called “Pedra Sobre Pedra” and Wikipedia tells me that it dates from 1992, I was 11 years old. Then I didn’t marry Mauricio Mattar and I lost interest in the format. But even people who don’t watch soap operas in the classic sense of the term, sometimes like to watch other programs that quench that thirst for intrigue and to fight everyone with everyone (either in the sense of a beating, or in the sense of satin sheets). . And I think that’s why I was absolutely hooked on a nostalgic show on MTV VH1 called “Behind The Music.” For those who haven’t been following, “Behind The Music” was a documentary series that focused on the bands and artists with the juiciest behind-the-scenes lives. And it was this behind-the-scenes taste of big, complex bands that made me devour the book. daisy jones and the six (originally published in 2019), a fiction of Tik Tok and Bookgram phenomenon Taylor Jenkins Reid.

The book, very visual and with the ability to make us believe that this fictitious band really existed, is written in an unusual way, being a series of excerpts from interviews, exactly replicating a “Behind The Music”. It was also an obvious choice for the audiovisual adaptation. The fastest to get hold of the rights has been Amazon Prime, which is now premiering (this Friday, March 3, the first three volumes will be released) the 10-episode series, as well as singles and an album by the band that until now only existed in the role The production is in charge of the actress Reese Witherspoon, who does not enter the series -which has, in general, a little-known cast-.
