I'm reading the book, and it's becoming a struggle. The leading characters are assholes, the author has spent about 57 slow chapters detailing the making of a nonexistent album, and the only character I like is the Christine McVie stand-in. She's funny and insightful while everyone else is a jerk, but she only gets a few sentences here and there.
Should I persevere?
Usually books are better than the films, but by your description the book sounds like it sucks. Try watching the season. If anything the music is good and Riley does have a beautiful voice. She can belt it out. I had to research to see if they were actually singing and yes, both main actors were.
shareI did give up on the book, and did my best to look up spoilers online.
But I suppose some ruthless story editing and decent music might make a filmed version rather better.
yes worth the watch. If only for the music and a decent story... Come back here and tell what u think if u watch
sharePerhaps not, I don't have the streaming service it's on, and I didn't like the book well enough to pay to see the TV show.
Thank you for answering my questions, I suppose I liked the book well enough to be curious as to what comes ofo the story, but not enough to finish it. Or pay to see an adaptation.
Theres a great site for free called ..Flixtor But u must wait until off peak time to view.. Give it a shot.
shareI really loved it, it's got the same vibes as Almost Famous. It's not the greatest TV show ever but it's rating on IMDB (8.1) is about right.
The first two episodes before Daisy and the band meet up aren't the strongest. They aren't bad or anything but once Daisy and Billy meet up is where this show really takes off. Riley Keough and Sam Claflin are both great in this and have amazing chemistry, also liked Camilla Morrone as Camila. She's the heart of the show really. The music is great in it, from the soundtrack to the original songs.
I wasn't a big fan of episode 7 when Daisy goes to Greece and meets the guy who would become her husband. And it does feel rushed by the end and could have done with another episode.
They are all flawed characters and for large parts unlikeable. I've watched the show twice, and I would definitely buy it if Amazon decide to sell it on Blu Ray. Again it's flawed but it's still a really good show.
