Limited Series
Some of the best shows are the ones that are short-lived, always making viewers yearn for more even after watching how beautifly writers have constructed and executed their story.
Limited series are one of the most incredible yet tormenting shows to commit to for this reason. So here are a few limited series that you should 100% start, so you can go through the same turmoil they put the rest of us through
Daisy Jones & the Six
If you love Fleetwood Mac, or more specifically, the drama relating to that one live performance of “Silver Springs,” then you’re going to LOVE the 10-episode, limited series Daisy Jones & the Six (2023). The show follows a fictional band and how they come to be, starting out as The Six before their record producer, Teddy Price (Tom Wright), introduces them to the chaotic talent that is Daisy Jones (Riley Keough). She’s the addition to the band that ends up causing tension between frontman/lead guitarist of The Six, Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin) and his photographer wife Camila Dunne (Camila Morrone), and is hinted as the reason for the band’s fallout, which we learn from the interview style of the show.
The show starts in a documentary-style format, with interviews from the band and a few others, retelling their rise in popularity during the ’70s. While we get intriguing interview clips, a majority of the show is set in the ’70s as the audience watches the band membersmeet, write songs, tour, and face struggles alone and together. The first few episodes build up everyone’s background before chaos ensues once Daisy Jones is thrown into the mix, butting heads with Billy. While from the outside the two seem to despise each other, it’s undeniable that they are a remarkable duo when it comes to music. Creating duets together that become fan favorites, though hated by the band, and other songs hiding affair innuendos and jabs at one another like “More Fun To Miss” and “Regret Me.’’
Jumping backwards a little bit, The Six consists of frontman Billy and his brother and lead-guitarist Graham Dunne (Will Harrison), who’s crushing on Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse) the keyboardist. There’s also Warren Rhodes (Sebastian Chhacon) on drums and then Eddie Roundtree (Josh Whitenhouse) the bassist, who harbors feelings for Camila. I bring up their connections outside of just being in a band as well because when you put together this many attractive and talented people, you just know it’s going to be messy. Giving the show not only great drama, but also captivating buildup for both the characters and the storyline, the show’s writers make the story feel incredibly put together for only being a 10-episode limited series.
Now if you’re someone who doesn’t typically watch a ton of TV, don’t fret! The series happens to be a TV adaptation of the book Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. If you’re not a reader or TV watcher, my last hope to push this onto you is through music. While the band is fake, the album Aurora that they created together for the show is very real and very good, so if anything, listen to the impeccable soundtrack and mourn the fact a real-life tour has been cancelled, due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes around the time of the show’s release. But, never say never …
