Turning an interview-based into a TV show successfully perhaps relies more on casting than other types of productions. So when I heard that "Daisy Jones & The Six" was coming to Amazon as a show, I had my concerns.
As a fan of the book, early returns indicate that the show nails it with the casting of Riley Keough in the Daisy role. However, casting Sam Claflin as Billy Dunne has been a bit more of a stretch. While the Daisy character comes off rather effortlessly, Dunne presents as an actor portraying a rock star. Which is exactly the case.
At any rate, the first three episodes showed enough to make me want to see it through -- which is a win in the current age of television.
