I am enjoying this but it is nothing new. Great sound track. Sort of infusing the past with the present in terms of details in the movie.

Right. It's been done better before.

Sort of very loosely based on Fleetwood Mac. Fun and frivolous.

Almost Famous for example.

It's been done better for sure but I still loved it. But for me once the band get together and Daisy and Billy are on screen, it's where the show really shines. First two episodes aren't overly gripping and I do think things get rushed at the end. But it's got a lot of heart and really it's romance about people and music. It's not suppose to anything deeper then that. I would love a more serious series on the 70's rock scene with a band that doesn't involve romances and stuff.

But Riley Keough really knocks it out of the park in this.

Everything doesn't have to be "new". It's as possible to be "new" and have no merit, as it is to be similar to something done before and be excellent.
