Watch Daisy Jones & The Six

Daisy Jones & The Six is a drama series that follows the rise and fall of a fictional 1970s rock band called Daisy Jones & The Six. Set in the Los Angeles music scene during the height of the rock era, the show centers around lead singer Daisy Jones and guitarist Billy Dunne, who form a creative partnership that leads to the band's meteoric success. However, the band's glory days are short-lived as interpersonal conflicts and substance abuse issues ultimately tear them apart at the peak of their popularity.

The show alternates between two timelines - the band's formation in the late 1960s and their breakup in 1979. In the late 60s, Daisy is an up-and-coming singer trying to make a name for herself while dealing with drug addiction. Billy is the leader of an already established band called The Six. When Daisy joins forces with Billy and The Six, their sound and stage presence generate buzz around the LA club scene. The band gets noticed by record executives and soon lands a major record deal, allowing them to record their debut album Aurora.

As Daisy Jones & The Six start playing bigger venues, creative tensions arise as Daisy competes with Billy for control over the band's sound and image. Romantic entanglements within the group also complicate matters. Daisy and Billy have an undeniable chemistry on stage, leading to speculation about the nature of their relationship. The press fuels rumors about a love triangle between Daisy, Billy, and Billy's girlfriend Camila, who serves as the band's manager.

Behind the scenes, the band members are coping with their newfound fame in self-destructive ways. Daisy's substance abuse is spiraling out of control. Other members of the band overindulge in the sex, drugs, and rock n' roll lifestyle. Bitter rivalries emerge as resentments build over who deserves credit for the band's success.

The second album proves to be difficult, with Daisy and Billy disagreeing over the musical direction. When tensions reach a breaking point, the band implodes right after playing a massive sold-out show at Chicago's Soldier Field in 1979. They never perform together again, leaving countless fans disappointed and demanding an explanation.

Years later, the band members open up about the internal struggles that led to their demise. They reflect on their failed relationships, unresolved emotional issues, and the toll of addiction and ego on their collaborative creative process. Each member has a different perspective on why things fell apart. In the end, Daisy Jones & The Six became emblematic of the darker side of rock fame and the self-destruction it often breeds.
