Daisy Jones & The Six is finally here – and it's equal parts entertaining and empowering

Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's bestselling novel of the same name, it feels like we've been waiting forever for the much-anticipated TV adaptation to arrive. But today is the day that Daisy Jones & The Six finally lands on screens – following the whirlwind rise of the eponymous fictional 70s rock group, it tells a story of conflict, explosive love and plenty of rock 'n' roll drama.

"In terms of entertainment and empowerment value, Daisy Jones & The Six has got it all," says Stylist contributor Charley Ross. "Set in 70s LA, with all the charm, nostalgia and sexism that comes with it, the show doesn't shy away from the double standards felt in Hollywood between men and women. But while the storylines and characters of Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) and the band's lead singer Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin) are a big reason for the book's cult following, I couldn't help but fall in love with the women on the sidelines of the drama. The ones who are fighting other battles against the backdrop of social pressures and discrimination that came with being a woman in the 70s – some of which we still deal with today. So while fans of the book and newcomers alike may be drawn to the series by the charismatic Daisy, I'm confident that they will stay for the incredible stories told by the women who surround her."
