In the battle between DaisyJonesAndTheSix on the page and the one on screen, it’s more than obvious who wins. Our review:
I read Daisy Jones & the Six way back when it first came out in 2019. My copy — signed by author Taylor Jenkins Reid, after I went to a reading of hers in London — is one of my prized possessions, and I largely consider it to be my favorite novel of all time. There’s no one who does it quite like Reid, no one who, in her words from that reading, captures “women that won’t be told what to do” the way she does.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Unfortunately, Reid’s novel seems to have set standards too high for an adaptation — much delayed, after its announcement in 2019 — to reach.
It’s a misstep that the show makes multiple times, lifting the wrong parts of the book verbatim, as though it’ll make up for misunderstanding the venomous bite Reid injected into Daisy and Billy and so many of her other characters.
But just because Daisy is an adaptation of the novel doesn’t mean it’s telling the same story. In fact, the series is playing a twisted game of telephone with Reid’s original tale, and so warped is Prime’s version that it’s almost unrecognizable.
