64% on Rotten Tomatoes (61 reviews); Metacritic 60/100. Critics praised Boyle's kinetic direction and Anson Boon's Johnny Rotten but found the series fell back on biopic formula - the story of a band that mocked formula told inside one.
Renewal: A six-episode limited series based on Steve Jones's memoir Lonely Boy. No continuation planned. (FX)

BollyAI has not watched anything. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
The premiere establishes Steve Jones as a kid who steals equipment from rock stars because he cannot imagine being one. Boyle opens with pure energy - jump cuts, period music, the specific texture of Shepherd's Bush in 1975. The character work is rougher than the style but the intent is clear: this is punk as working-class self-invention.
