it's a cool period piece but it also kinda diminishes the book because it focuses too much on billy and daisy's romance instead of showing their restraint. i mean, i liked the first kiss and the bond they had when daisy overdosed but billy spirals a lot more and relapses in the show. the infidelity aspect is exaggerated a lot more here. but as a separate identity i think the show is pretty good overall. the songs are bangers (i loved Let Me Down Easy in particular). camila is very pretty and i was shocked that she died by the end. warren is the GOAT and i love him. eddie was... eh but portrayed pretty well. GRAHAM AND KAREN UGHH I LOVE THEM I WISH THEY ENDED UP TOGETHER BUT NOOO MISCOMMUNICATION. well at least they both got what they wanted in the end and are happy with their lives. riley keogh blew it out of the park with her performance as daisy. i get how it can be hard to portray characters who were written to be larger than life and prodigies but man it's like she was built to play daisy onscreen. her voice is magical and blends so well with sam claflin's, which btw, his voice is very good as well and they match and contrast so well vocally. chucky didn't die in this lol i remember he got drafted for vietnam or something in the book and was killed in action. and ig billy and daisy got their happy ending? which... wasn't the point but yayy happy for them.
