Sun Records

it appears that many people think this is a show about Elvis, even thou it's called "Sun Records". Well, surprise: It's about sun records and its founder Sam Philipps. And it's not about Elvis. Nor Johnny Cash. Or Jerry Lee Lewis. It also is not about Michael Jackson or Lady Gaga. It's called Sun Records, remember? If you feel betrayed, I figure it's your own fault - for not reading the series' title. whoops, huh.

As such, I find it the perfect way to portray the beginnings of rock'n'roll since sun records played a main part in that. The playing is very decent, the narratology works rather well.

Thank you for giving us this mini series.

If the show is gonna portray people from the deep South, then it should put actors in place who don't have to fake the accents. I was born and raised during this time in the Mississippi Delta, watched these guys when I was young, and was really looking forward to this show, but I am so put off by the fake Southern drawls that I am having a hard time with it.

Pretty good show. Well acted and very well written. A little too much on the time spent separating black and white. Yes it was a serious issue back then as well as a serious influence on our artist. But they didn't play the race issues natural enough. Another problem with this that did get irritating was the syncing of the voice over recordings. With Elvis and Cash, voice over got too obvious. As for set decorating and cinematography...very pleasing! I'm 50's born and raised do I enjoyed it.

My 7 year old is obsessed with Elvis and The Beach Boys and she kept talking about his show so we started watching it. This show is so good. I like that it shows Johnny Cash because I love his music as well and she gets to see other music besides just what is mainly in movies and TV shows. The acting is good and not cheesy. Makes you want to learn more about the characters.

My husband and I loved this show. Having grown up in the South myself during the time of Elvis, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis it was especially memorable for me. Actually bought an Elvis 45 on Sun Records label in Georgia 1955. We found the background on Sam Phillips (sexiest man on TV)and his life as well as Col. Parker the most interesting part of the show. We all know how Elvis, Johnny, and the others all turned out. Who knew what a sleeze Tom Parker was, or how hard it was to get Sun Records established. Loved all the characters Couldn't wait for the next episode. The casting of these characters was brilliant to say the least. I really hope there is a next season . My family as well as many of my friends will be eagerly watching.
