Production is good, but story and characters aren't exciting or interesting. Never heard of the book, seems like some sort of Fleetwood Mac fan fiction.
The VH1 interview style thing at the beginning was interesting, but other than that is very blah. Sam Caflin looks like Kenickie in Grease, a 30 year old trying to play a high schooler, he feels out of place compared to the rest of the cast.
The episode started with younger versions of all the characters for a couple scenes but quickly went to the older cast members, which was very confusing. They should have stayed with the younger actors longer or just not done it at all.
For a first episode there wasn't much time spent getting to know the character and setting things up, instead it just seemed like it was rushing past having to introduce the characters, which didn't help with wanted to learn more about them and the story.
Don't think I'll finish the show. I'd rather rewatch 'That Thing You Do!' and maybe a VH1 behind the music special then slog through more episodes of this show.
Soundtrack was good. Patti Smith and Carole King 👌
