Daisy Jones & The Six (TV Series) Track 5: Fire (2023) User Reviews

Broken

[Trey_Trebuchet · 8/10 · 11 August 2023]

I thought this episode was quite good.

I have a feeling a may not end up liking this series quite as much as the book, but it's honestly pretty accurate so far and a good show on its own accord. The music has all been very well done and very catchy so far, the songs from the book and the original music AND the soundtracks from other artists of the time. It's all very groovy or fun to listen to.

I think the writers did a pretty solid job in this episode with Billy and Daisy's complicated relationship. It's probably the best book-to-screen content in the series so far too. I don't totally despise either of them. I want to see Billy being a great husband and father, and I want to see Daisy get the recognition and pleasure out of writing that she is growing to desire.

I think the beach stuff with Karen and Graham and what's-her-name was a pretty okay way to further that story. It's different but not in a bad way.

And the episode ends with them performing a really great song.

Solid episode that left me wanting more!

I didn't think you were so broken

"Ralphie" Cifaretto & the Six

[marquette_93 · 6/10 · 21 March 2023]

If you watched the Sopranos, you know how unlikable and irritating the character Ralphie Cifaretto was. Couldn't wait until he got "whacked" and we wouldn't have to experience this annoying pest anymore.

Daisy Jones is equally annoying: quarrelsome without reason, narcissistic, and self-righteous. These qualities really come out in episode 5 and you'd think that there would be an exit in the works for such a dislikable character. Unfortunately, there is not. In fact, Daisy never pays any price for her caustic personality; it's clear she needs no one yet everybody else needs her. She writes better lyrics, where Billy is apparently inept. She's the leader that the band members always wanted. Their producer recognizes that the band will go nowhere without her presence. "Daisy, you make everything better" is what she is told in episode 6.

While the period sets, clothes, and music are all still great, it's clear that Daisy will be the Mary Sue of this series after you watch Track 5. She will have no flaws she needs help with, is a prodigy at everything, and will have the best comeback lines should any other character object to her ego.

Where's Tony Soprano and his bowling ball bag when we need him?
