A huge disappointment. This is NOT the true story of Sun Records, Sam Phillips, Elvis Presley or any of the characters portrayed. Read anything by Peter Guralnick, most particularly his book "Sam Phillips— The Man Who Invented Rock 'n Roll". While the bones of the story may be correct (and the filming at actual sites in Memphis is a treat), it's the little things that irritate and insult. The portrayal of Marion Keisker as a hot chick having an even hotter love affair with Sam. In reality she was a strong, school-marm-looking woman who may have been in love with Sam, but the feeling was not mutual. Elvis and a fictional middle-class girlfriend named Trixie. He lived in the projects and would not have been dating someone in the better part of town (let alone climbing into her bedroom window). He did have a girlfriend named Dixie though. A shrew-like Becky Phillips who in reality understood and supported Sam. Sam's children are portrayed as infants when in reality they were 6 and 8 when they met Elvis. Elvis having no style until Colonel Parker told him to upgrade his look. In fact Elvis shopped at Lansky's on Beale Street for years before he ever made a record. Oh the annoyances! As a series it's poorly constructed with too many story lines and peripheral characters unknown to most viewers (The Prisonaires, Jackie Brenston, Joe Hill Louis, etc.). Supposedly this series was inspired by the stage musical "Million Dollar Quartet". I'm a tough critic, but that was actually quite good. It covered one day in the life of Sun Records. Maybe this should have done the same.

The movie is good. I like it. Probably It would be much better if we speak mainly about Elvis' life not Sam Philips. Elvis' life is a real story of a boy growing up in that windy time in Tennessee. But I am happy about that movie. For me that's how real life should looks. Imagine the world that way. We would live more real and happier life. And I didn't know that sky*e was existed through 50's. I wanna everybody hearing the voice of sky*e. The time is - 4th episode, 21:41m.

Sun Records is a Rock & Roll lovers dream come true! The actors are amazing and really do justice to the Rock Gods they are portraying. It's a shame today's generation lacks the respect and understanding for what these musical pioneers really did for the genre. Just seeing Elvis deal with the insecurities of high school, the shenanigans of Jerry Lee and his preaching cousin Jimmy Swaggart, Johnny's time in service, or Sam's journey from failure to success, really make this an entertaining piece of Americana. I stumbled across the show by accident and figured it would be mediocre at best, since CMT isn't really known for their groundbreaking series. But, I was definitely proved wrong after seeing the actors spot on performances and CMT's portrayal of Tennessee circa 1952. I know with the PC millennial of today it might be difficult for the show to find its footing, but if you love music (whether it's Hip Hop or Nirvana) these are the men who started it all. So do yourself a favor and take some time away from Facebook and Reaction videos, and go give Sun Records a spin!
