U are 100000000% correct.

[@stutid582]

Agreed!! That’s what I’ve been saying this whole time!! Istg Camilla, Daisy and Karen should’ve just gotten into a poly relationship, the men in that book are all undeserving of these incredible women (except warren, he was chill enough with Lisa I’d say)

"this is the 70s. i've got to deal with too many serial killers that look like you" 💀 i SCREECHED ahaha

[@keithives6721]

One of the things that strike me most about this show (as a black girl who also loves to sing) is that one part where Simone is pissed off about Daisy giving everything up right when she was like... On top of the world. Look, i also understand Daisy and you're not obligated to keep doing things just because one day you wanted it. If something doesn't make you happy anymore, quit it. Go find what does. But i understand Simone's rage and frustration so much because she spends the whole show getting the rug pulled beneath her feet and being betrayed and there is Daisy, who also went through some sh*t but MADE IT. And she was giving up on everything because she was heartbroken. It always reminds me of that thing like, how black people always have to put double the effort a white person would into something, so that they can be chosen, or rewarded or recognized. Do u guys remember that part in Alice Through the looking glass in which the Red Queen says "you have to run a lot to stay IN THE SAME PLACE. To go SOMEWHERE ELSE, you have to run twice as fast." and i never forgot that. That's what it feels like. Anyway.

[@withcindy]

That's so true!! Love that they expanded Simone's character

[@julialedra]

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

I very much liked what the show did with Simone. They did flesh her out more and gave her something beyond Daisy. I remember her being her friend in the books, but nothing else about her character. So it was so nice seeing this interpretation of Simone.

[@withcindy]

Totally agree!

[@queenoffabulous2156]

Camilla knew that Aurora money was coming and held out

[@withcindy]

Good for her

[@NaN-wx9ss]

I have no idea what this show or book is so my understanding from this video is that the producer is a freaking genius and the wife character is investing properly and not putting up with her husband being a coward. Also Simone's carrying this.

[@withcindy]

Simone and the producer are the best

[@eauxkei702]

I notice a lot of (white)shows like to include the POC/LGBTQ rep in one singular token character 🤣

[@withcindy]

That side character truly multitasking diversity

[@Sam-0827]

Also I hate how Simone is struggling while Daisy just cruised through. Also Simone drops everything for Daisy but I don’t see Daisy doing the same wtf. Idk why but their friendship isn’t it for me

[@Sam-0827]

I feel like in the wake of that Ned Try Guys scandal I learnt a lot about overcompensation when someone cheats and it’s so evident in Billy. That being said I wish they leaned more into Billy’s addiction.

[@withcindy]

I agree!!

[@Sam-0827]

@@jol6573 yea I used to love all the try guys and finding out about it shocked me. But they are still thriving without Ned so I'm glad

[@coco604]

Yeah, that’s a great comparison! And they do really lean into more of Billy’s psychology in the book, which I wished the did more here. Like we see in the book that Daisy’s comment about all the songs being the same aren’t just bc she can’t think love can include being happy, but that Billy is refusing to write anything sadder or darker or just including doubt bc he refuses to acknowledge that being in recovery means you’re always going to be fighting a part of yourself. His overcompensation for his own darkness thru his songs and how they were affecting the band was super interesting and I wished they’d included more of that.

[@Sam-0827]

@@coco604 true, that sense of positivity in his music and lyrics is to actively avoid any emotions that remind him of his infidelity or his addiction and I agree, I wanted to see of Billy’s internal struggles

[@saminahadam8690]

John Mulaney is another great example of this!!

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

Yeah, I agree with thoughts on show Billy vs book Billy. In the book he is a human who, after he gets clean, tries so hard to stay sober and to be deserving of Camilla and his family. And yet in the show, it seems they just stripped him of all his good qualities. And then still expects for us to root for him.

[@withcindy]

Yes 100%!!

[@trinaq]

I was surprised to hear that Riley had no musical experience prior to the show. But then again, maybe considering her famous grandfather and mother, it's in her blood.

[@withcindy]

I wonder if she took any singing lessons for the show or prior?

[@idontneedaname318]

i can tell

[@Melanie-jy2nw]

@@withcindy yeah I heard that both her and Sam got lessons during COVID. COVID made it that filming was paused and so they took that time to get lessons

[@Meek0h]

Covid meant all the band members had more time to spend on their singing and instrument lessons than planned which I think improved the show. They also had to attend a « band camp » where they familiarized themselves with playing together prior to the start of filming. In interviews, the cast members mention this was the opportunity they needed to build chemistry and truly start feeling like a band.

[@withcindy]

@@idontneedaname318 LOL RUTHLESS

[@bedhairismybae5480]

They did Camilla so dirty 💀 Ideally she would have divorced Billy and lived her own life but I wouldn't have minded her with Eddie either😭

[@withcindy]

Eddie is too much of a sore loser for Camila

[@shilohgoes5544]

Or she could’ve just not died

[@mike-m123]

I mean Taylor Jenkins Reid wrote her that way in the book

[@JeanBakula]

Yes. Eddie appreciated Camilla. Who stays with someone like Billy, who cheats, and loves another person even when he's "faithful." Plus it was the 70s. Having lived through them, nothing about Vietnam, drugs, Watergate? There was social change, but hard change, and all the sunny songs about love are strange. Women didn't wear dresses or skirts. It was all jeans, shirts. Army or denim jackets for everyone. And Billy looks old. He needs moisturizer.

[@javieravargas3608]

Why everybody ignores that Camila was a young latina mom of 3 kids (in the book) in the 70's? It wasn't that simple

[@Bluey306]

cindy and elias giggling every time billy suffers or gets called out just gives me SO much serotonin.

[@Meek0h]

I love that the story is morally grey. We are so used to protagonists that act as role models, but we all make mistakes and that complexity is the interesting part. Even Camilla, who is often championed as a hero character, has failings like choosing to stay with Billy and [insert plot point that happens in future episode].

[@withcindy]

Yay for flawed characters!!

[@ayibanna]

I also love how apart from billy, you couldn't really blame any of them for their bad decisions, there were reasons as to why each character is the way they are

[@idontneedaname318]

@@ayibanna I feel like to a degree you also can't blame billy for a lot of his failings but the show really didn't dive into his substance abuse

[@LeapThroughTheSky]

Idk if you've read Love in the Time of Cholera, but this reminded me a lot of it. But with more likable characters. I loved the series and that book, this idea that life happens, sometimes the timing is off, and that the love we share with people can all have meaning.

[@abrosal]

4:00 THANK YOU. Camilla Marrone is gorgeous, but she took me out of the theme/time period every time she came on screen. That’s a face that’s seen an email. I just didn't think she was a particularly convincing actress. And everyone was praising her so much on Twitter...I was like...am I the only one? I felt that way about them trying to convince us Sam Claflin was 20 too lol. Very jarring.

[@sita9071]

Wait, he's supposed to be 20? I haven't seen the full series yet (only clips) and I straight up thought that he was 40.

[@withcindy]

She def didn't suit Camila's character in the book, felt like a totally diff person to me and I agree, unconvincing. She's super pretty but I think lacks maturity and grounded demeanor that the book character is supposed to have

[@swoonscapades]

Oh yeah, depending on how you consume the book it definitely affects your enjoyment (or lack thereof) of it. I remember i wanted to read the book but I had seen a review saying people should consider audiobooking it instead and so I did and I l9ved it. I honestly don't think I would've enjoyed it as much as I did if I'd read it physically tbh so I'm glad I decided to listen to it instead 😅

[@withcindy]

Yeah I was not impressed by the physical book at all. The audiobook tho? Game changer

[@mjvidal143]

[@keithives6721]

Also that one scene where Daisy gets the baby and goes downstairs like awkwardly really touches me because it reminds me of hwr childhood scene and how her parents would keep her locked in a room when they had people over. The difference between how Billy and then Camila reacts is just... i don't know it gets to my feels

[@nctwethedreamchaser4972]

this is a hot take but camila also got something from billy. becoming a super rich house wife and a muse of a rockstar. there's an obvious reason she stayed and it was the BAG 💰 if billy was broke, she wouldve took the kids and left a long time ago 💁‍♀

[@withcindy]

Wasn't he poor when they first started dating though? Like they came from humble beginnings I think, no one knew if he would actually be rich and famous or not. I'm also not sure if she was really ever interested in being a muse. I think she genuinely does love Billy but demands he gets his shiz together lol

[@giorgia.m]

Tbh I liked this show but I could’ve loved it. I think they could’ve done a lot more with it in terms of characters and pacing because you don’t really get a feeling of how big a band they were and how much time has passed. Which makes getting them all in for an interview seem less important. I liked the subtleties of book Daisy and Billy more, their character and dynamic seemed much more complex. The whole show, but particular Daisy and Billy, seemed too shiny, too romanticised to really connect to them. I wasn’t fully buying it being the 70s and the clothes looked a little too clean, modern and urban outfitters to me. As well as historical moments like the Vietnam war, which altered the band and their characters arcs, being removed. I do like the expansion of the side characters though!! Overall, it doesn’t top the audiobook and I’m sad it wasn’t what I wanted in terms of costuming, historical context and lacking characterisation but I see so much potential in it, I did enjoy it and the album is a banger !!!! Feel like this comment is a bit ranty but I’m just frustrated cos I was so close to really loving it!!!

[@withcindy]

I agree with everything u said!! The characters are too clean, not gritty or raw enough. It felt much more sanitized and less nuanced. The pacing issues gives no context or lead-up for Billy's addiction so he just looks like an A-hole who cheated right away

[@giorgia.m]

@@withcindy Yes 1000% !!! I really felt for Billy in the book, Daisy too. I thought that was one of the best parts of the book was that there were characters doing horrible things and making mistakes but I was still rooting for them. I understood why. It made me sad to watch the show and start to really dislike Daisy and Billy when I cried at their reunion at the end of the book!! Anyway thoughts and prayers for the Seven Husbands adaption 🖤

[@guhey]

This is honestly the aptest comment I have seen on the show. I was wondering why I didn't like the show and now I know why. Thank you for this revelation. I hope they don't make the same mistake with evelyn hugo cause that would be soo heartbreaking.

[@michellecueto1072]

@@withcindy yes! Especially with Karen. Tbh I think Suki misinterpreted her character by asking her stylists to glam her up.

[@zainabreads4382]

didnt watch the show yet (besides this reaction vid) but i feel they made camila appear more clever and conniving, like she wanted to purposefully seduce billy? idk if this was in the book (read it awhile ago) but the fact she knew who billy was and pretended she didnt, she got pregnant, he cheated and then yelled at him that that they would still be a family together and implied she would stay financially dependent on him. SPOILERS in the books, she even told daisy to leave the band because she knew billy would cheat on her with daisy. and billy and camila lived in a mansion and she loved how he wrote songs for her. its valid as hell for wanting your husband to pay child support and support the children as much as she did, but her being a fan and pretending she didnt know him when they met adds a nuanced layer to her motivations. idk. not justifying billy's cheating (esp with fans.. ew) but it really feels like hes trapped in a marriage he doesnt want to be in. and if the kids werent there, he wouldve left camila a long time ago.

[@withcindy]

Oohhh good points!! Camila feels like a different character on the show tbh

[@zainabreads4382]

@@withcindy thanks for agreeing, cindy! and surprised about the likes lol bc i feel almost everyone likes camila. i think the worst part in the books was her telling daisy to leave the band bc of billy's desire towards her (although partly was the reason camila did that was for daisy to not destroy herself in the band due to substance abuse but camila also wanted daisy to leave billy alone). i dont think camila had a conversation telling billy to keep his boundaries near the end so it just left a bad taste in my mouth. and then decades later when she died she left a letter to billy to make a song with daisy as camila's last request. felt weird she was tryna play matchmaker in the grave bc its possible daisy wouldnt want to see billy after all that time (personally, there r ppl i used to love id be kinda annoyed seeing now after years so...) just my input i guess.

wow, tv keeps getting better and better, tho tbh I can't imagine how you write a story to lapse across a dozen or more episodes. I suppose it's based on a soap opera formula, or something like that, but do the actors develop their own characters or are they reliant on directors? Well, it looks very interesting, even if it is hard to imagine where they possibly can go with this story - especially with that Malibu novel being so well known.

I overall enjoyed the show, but I have to agree, it lost a lot of the nuance of the characters in the adaptation process. Reading the book the love triangle never annoyed me, mainly because it was very obvious Camilla and Daisy had a lot of respect for each other and Camilla if I remember correctly, trusted Daisy and Billy that they won't cheat on her even if they had chemistry and sometimes toed the line. The fallig apart was more about the harmful effect their relationship had on the sobriety of both Billy and Daisy, compounded by the sudden death of Teddy and the other sh*t that happened between the bandmates. In the show they really upped the drama by putting the classic love triangle jealousy angle back, which I wasn't a big fan of. A strong theme that also kind of got lost in the adaptation process was the rampant sexism in the music industry and the fact that women had to sacrifice so much more to get to the same position. Without stressing that Daisy, Camilla, and especially Karen felt much more bitchy and entitled than necessary. Expending Simone was a great change, even though making her the only relevant POC and LGBTQ+ character was veering strongly into tokenism. Maybe instead of Simone doing everything by herself, they could have left the original sixth bandmate, Pete in the show and give him a bit more personality by giving him a gay storyarc? Idk. I also overall really enjoyed the casting and not knowing much of the music of the era the soundtrack seemed perfectly fine too. Riley has a really impressive singing talent, so I hope she continues with music after this.

The music in the series was kinda disappointing, especially considering Fleetwood Mac was the main inspiration for the book to begin with 😭

[@BlueberryCheesecake8]

The book itself was disappointing af

[@withcindy]

Yeah I only sorta liked two songs

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I still need to watch further then episode 1 😬

[@myas.6485]

[@cindychen6353]

I searched up on my school computers and found out that the author I think a new book? it was made in 2021

[@TheScarredEclipse]

Camila has my heart

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

I feel Camilla’s logic is not straight logic but old fashioned logic. My mom always talk about her parents and other parents instill in their children. You have to stay with this toxic person. When she tried to leave, her mom sent her back to my dad. This is what many women in this time had to deal with. They felt forced to stay in a bad relationship especially for the kids. That is the part that sucks especially if the women can’t work or make her own money. It is different now. Thank god.

[@DoraG99]

absolutely agree that the characters don't feel as deep as the ones in the books

[@-autumnfeelings]

I really want to watch it but I really want to read the book first

[@Saina-ri7ju]

Camilla made me question my sexuality oh

[@drangel1345]

Should I read the book first ??

[@icaro_andstuff]

Camilla is Latinx and didn't hold a grudg?!?!?!?!? Not on this Chilean household.

[@Sam-0827]

Idk why but I sometimes felt like they didn’t do the 70s well, also I felt like the script was a little cheesy at times idk

[@sofiatsolova1275]

Cindy I came to tell you that in the nap I had a moment ago I dreamt that you posted a new video, reacting to watching The miraculous ladybug, and you had a bright blue bob like Marinette

[@varshitajujare4743]

Everybody shitting on riley is soo crazy to me I think she brings out the childlike and excited nature of daisy soo well. She balances the bratty sassy a bitch if u will but also the vulnerable and broken side of daisy so well. It's easy to read d book nd right off daisy as jst a bitch which is so wrong bcz she always jst wanted to be loved and made so many wrong decisions like humans do. And sure sam in the first few eps looked way older but he's perfect later on considering he looked older than he was supposed to in the book due to his addiction. What I loved d most abt the show is The nuances sam and riley being to the characters who r both broken addicts bt also feel so deeply, their chemistry their banter they carried the show for me tbh

[@annushankar3032]

Yeah I agree - I think that Riley’s take still isn’t that firey as I expected tbh, but with that being said, I think her more subdued way of firing back is more grounded in reality. It would get annoying if all she was doing was getting mad and firing back in a loud voice

[@varshitajujare4743]

@@annushankar3032 evn in the book I always thought she's more broken and lonely than she's a bitch. It's mostly Billy who goes on and on about how mch of a pain the ass she is and it's more due his own feelings towards her. Daisys past is soo traumatic with her parents losing her virginity to a grownass man in a hotel room to men introducing her to drugs to men stealing her music. It's soo complex I think Riley handled it very well.
