Thanks. Looking forward to carving out the time!

Really enjoying this show, and the album of original songs they released (Aurora) is pretty damn dope. Very Rumours-like.

I saw they're on Spotify as well and have been listening while in the office. It's very easy to listen to.

I'd give this a B so far.
Watchable.

The pacing seems slow to me, like they are trying to really draw out the book.

I've enjoyed it so far but it is a little slow. It's like a fictitious "Behind the Music" -- drugs, fights, etc.

The washed out color palate is a bit distracting, but I guess that's on purpose to make it look old???

I liked it - despite being decidedly NOT a Fleetwood Mac fan.

Think it still has a couple more episodes
FYI

I was going to ask if anyone who read the book if that part was in it. Took up all of episode 7.

It was. Simone and Daisy's relationship doesn't convey in the series like the book. You can see glimpses of it but the book goes into more.

What about "that woman" in New York that took up 75% of the episode?

Yes, she's in the book. It set up the whole " dropping everything and rushing to Daisy, in Greece, in her time of need".

Every Amazon series I watch, I always think they are either making the episodes too long or have too many episodes or some combo where I wish there was "less".

TBH I feel that way about most streaming series.

Good show. My wife read the book and really enjoyed the show and how true it stayed to the source.

I had just realized in the last two episodes that the "present day" interviews were set in the 90s.
For some reason I was thinking present day but just never did the math in my head.
I thought they were making bold style choices for 2022

Doh! They'd be old and haggard in 2022

I didn't think of that, but I guess the camcorder was 90s era.

I just finished this last night and it was very meh. It was hard to believe they were the biggest band in the world when their music was such bland crap. Daisy, Billy, and the bass player were all totally unlikeable. The disco lady's story was boring. The only thing that was remotely near being Fleetwood Mac was that there were 3 guys and 2 women in the group and it was the 70's. Seems like they should've ended it with them getting back together for a reunion show or tour.

I told my wife the music sounded like any of those male+female country groups from 2010ish, Lady Antebellum, Band Perry, etc. Background music at a failing East Texas mall kinda sound.

Yep, you are exactly right on that. Same thing I thought. Sounded like generic pop country.

Why would the music in the show be some ground breaking, amazing music? They would just make and release that music in the real world, not use it for a show...

You have to keep in mind this series was adapted from a book. When reading the book you couldn't hear the music of this fictitious band. The author could only describe the songs as being hits and chart toppers for the story. I did like that she had the lyrics at the end of the book....still no music. Amazon when making the series had to put music to these already written songs..written by the author who isn't a musician.
