- TriviaActor Sam Claflin initially overstated his musical experience. After an embarrassing audition using Elton John, Claflin was still in the running due to his acting talent and used the pandemic lock down to work with vocal coaches and guitar teachers over Zoom. The change in his musical range from early audition to filming was described as "dramatic."
- Crazy creditsPROLOGUE: "On October 4, 1977 Daisy Jones & the Six performed to a sold out crowd at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. They were one of the biggest bands in the world at the time, fresh off their award-winning, multi-platinum selling album 'Aurora.' It would be their final performance. In the 20 years since, members of the band and their inner circle have refused to speak on the record about what happened...Until now."

Featured review
Very good show
In general I'm not a huge fan of the documentary style, but the payoff from that style is worth it. The musical accompaniment is top notch and the music itself is great. Riley and Sam are excellent in the leads and their chemistry is amazing. Both characters are layered and they take their time to develop them. Camilla also is quite good is a difficult role. Comic relief is top notch from Chacon (drummer) and Olyphant (roadie). Tom Wright has several standout scenes and nails the character even if he is very different in the book. Other 3 band members are solid and the relationship between suki and will feels real. Storyline was tough on Josh, but he did hit best with it.
The series really nails the ending. Last episode is a hard 10 of 10.
I have to knock a point for the Simone character. Her storyline is very tangential to the band and slows down pacing at bad times and distracts when the band is at is most interesting. Had she just been a friend of Daisy's with limited screen time it would have been fine, but she got way too much screen time. If you completely remove the character the story would have been better. Her screen time could have been better used to better flesh out the 4 other band members or at least give Daisy/Billy more screen time together. Also Simone has a very limited role in the book (also isn't a lesbian) so it isn't like they were trying to stick to the source material.
