from Lit to Lens Hosted by Lit to Lens
The guys discuss the series adaptation of DAISY JONES & THE SIX, a novel written in an oral history format by Taylor Jenkins Reid, that tells the story of a rock n’ roll band in the 1970’s, and details their meteoric rise to the top of the charts and their chaotic fall to oblivion. The series adaptation stars Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Suki Waterhouse, Camila Morrone, Nabiyah Be and Timothy Olyphant. The series was developed by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, consists of ten episodes and debuted March 3, 2023 on Amazon Prime. Topics of discussion include the experience of reading a novel with an oral history format and if that fits this story well, the seemingly easy decision to adapt a story like this, and the major differences from the book including Simone’s expanded backstory.
