Daisy Jones & the Six | S1 E1
I've been excited for Daisy Jones & the Six since it was announced but to now have it available and to see these characters come alive on television feels surreal.
I wanted to binge watch it but like the story flow in the book, I didn't want to rush it. I wanted a slow burn. So I'm writing my thoughts about one episode a day but who knows, tomorrow is a Saturday and I might end up finishing the remaining two before the remaining . (BTW I'm still outraged at the fact they made this a series & The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo a movie.)
So here goes & mild spoilers if you are yet to see the first episode:
Episode - 1 : Come & Get It
“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody. End of fucking story.”
This episode we get all the characters sitting down for interviews & we go into their rise. I perfectly loved how we went from their old self sitting down to give interviews & reminiscing their past. The portrayal of the Dunne brothers & Daisy was more fleshed out in the books than here but it was the perfect amount of exposition given in the series. The little bread crumbs left for us to pick! I jumped around whenever there was a little bit of foreshadowing. Cannot wait to see the payoffs.
The Soundtrack was sooo beautiful! I tapped my feet to every song and even the background scores. It was all so catchy and fit perfectly to the theme of the show. the 70s classic Rock n Roll. The characters,
Billy Dunne - Absolutely wonderfully portrayed by Sam Claflin. The light cockiness but the absolute heart-on-the-sleeve persona. The light bread crumbs left*Chef's Kiss* <3
Daisy Jones - The chaotic Miss Jones! I was a little skeptical about Riley Keough as Daisy because I always imagined her to be of average looks & baby face like the kind of personality which is small but persona which is big but I absolutely vibed with Riley. Brilliantly executed. I cried at the end when she sung "Be Myself" at the end sitting all alone. I'm waiting for that Soundtrack to drop! Graham Dunne - I have a crush Will Harrison just for that beautiful, Boy band Charisma he carries. He held the guitar for a reason and it has worked on me.
Eddie Roundtree - Absolutely love his jealousy. Its like a cat fight but very one sided. Also I love it when its between two men. Josh Whitehouse smashed it from his very first dialogue.
Warren, Simone, Teddy & Rodes - I am absolutely glad they didn't side line their characters. I am waiting for them to have more screen time though. Camila Dunne - Camila is my FAVOURITE character in the book! I am in awe and in love with Camila Morrone for doing such an amazing job and I cannot wait to see her as the story progresses. I loved the dialogues & how some were changed into conversations instead of the characters telling it to us. The screenplay was also very good. The shots as if they were taken by Video recorder was an amzing choice! Makes it more personal.
I'll have more thoughts after I watch the next episodes.
Final Thoughts : Get me "Be Myself" fast!!!!!!!!!!!!
