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.
