In spite of the obvious Christine McVie parallel, The Sixes, as the Dunne Brothers become when Karen joins, do not have the same background as Fleetwood Mac. Suki Waterhouse, who releases her own brand of retro-pop on Sub Pop records, plays Karen Sirko, a keyboardist from England who joins the band when they hit the west coast.

The Dunne Brothers begin in Pittsburgh, playing parties, weddings, bar mitzvahs, school dances and local clubs, before heading to L.A on some dismissive encouragement from tour manager Rod Reyes (Timothy Olyphant). Or at least the pressures of pleasing a 1970s record label.

The series is faithful to the novel, capturing artistic clashes, stolen lyrics, complicated relationships with substances, and the ever-present pressures of fame.
