This series was previewed by one of the bigger national newspapers in the Netherlands so caught my attention, also because it was 'lightly based on the story of Fleetwood Mac'.

I never read the book but after 6 episodes I'm wondering, there's something wrong here but what is it: was the book mediocre, are the actors mediocre, or is it just a case of bad directing? I think the bad directing is the main problem here. It's like you're watching actors acting. Some of the scenes are totally cringe worthy and could have played out better. 'Look upset, look sad'. The story deserved better. The only plus is the music, there is absolutely a Fleetwood Mac feel to it. The album release of Aurora is reminiscent of that of Rumors.

I was surprised by this gem. If you're used to watch series where every other scene has a winner and a loser, then this is not the movie for you; probably these were the bad reviewers.

First of all, the acting is amazing. And I think it's beautiful how the story slowly unravels. It's about young people having dreams and ambitions, about truth, deceit, love and friendship. It made me think of the time my friends and I graduated from university being full of dreams about the future and what we all would become. The whole setting made me think this could easily be a theatre play.
