Having never read the book, I can only assess the story being told on film. Seems like a fairly routine behind-the-scenes-story of a fictional rock band. But the similarity in style to Fleetwood Mac is unmistakable. It's entertaining enough to merit watching despite being far from captivating.
What is captivating however, is the acting of Riley Keough. I first took notice of her in her one season starring in "The Girlfriend Experience." She had to portray a complex character leading a double life in 30-minute episodes. Without time for extended explanations in dialogue, so much of the character's feelings were remarkably expressed through Keough's mannerisms and facial expressions and voice tones. It was an amazing acting job and she gives a similar performance in "Daisy Jones and the Six."
You can almost read her character's thoughts just by her facial expressions. And while all the actors in the show are quite competent, only Keough seems to effortlessly capture her character's emotions in very natural ways. And she also displays a great singing talent.
"Daisy Jones and The Six" is not a can't-miss story but treat yourself to the acting and singing of Riley Keough.
