Sex Pistols?

Yes. That Pistols miniseries wasn't going to be good, but I was surprised at how it couldn't even find a context to seem relevant. I think I watched one and a half episodes. How Chrissy Hynde ended up working at Sex seemed like a more intriguing storyline.

I'm not really a fan of Danny Boyle's work - more often than not, his films are terrible, and I didn't get the impression from anyone who saw the show that he exceeded even the most modest expectations. I can't remember if it was Jones or Matlock, but one of them apparently talked with Hynde over the phone after every episode and they were both flabbergasted how the show's depiction of her role in the band's history was drastically overblown and close to complete fiction.

Ha!

It’s not like their songs are even completely topical, yet they do feel like they’ve served their purpose.
