Early '90s band The Heathens lived up to that name offstage as well as on it, partying hard and using drugs. Led by Johnny Rock, the group was on the brink of fame with the release of its first album. Then, the band broke up -- on the day of the album's release -- because lead guitarist Flash discovered Johnny in bed with his wife. "Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll" picks up the story a quarter-century later when the drugs Johnny is using are of the prescription variety rather than cocaine and marijuana. He's out of work, money and options -- until young singer Gigi, who has a burning desire for fame, shows up with a stack of cash and an offer to get the band out of obscurity and back into the studio. The only catch is that she wants to be the lead singer, and Johnny must stay out of the spotlight as a songwriter.

Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 07/01/2016
It's a nice, continuing development for a series that could be the last rock 'n' roll show standing. Go to Full Review Verne Gay Newsday 06/29/2016
1/4
I knew this show was a bungle in the jungle when it arrived last summer and figured it would be canceled because it's better to burn out, than fade away. Go to Full Review Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune 06/24/2016
2/4
I was a big fan of Denis Leary's narcissistic characters in The Job and Rescue Me, but his fallen star in Sex&Drugs, which he co-created, seems like one ego trip too many. Go to Full Review Rob Harvilla The Ringer 08/14/2017
No preamble. Denis Leary's Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll is the best current TV show about a fictional rock band. Go to Full Review Megan Volpert PopMatters 09/12/2016
7/10
Leary understands that if it ain't broke, you don't fix it. He gets in a good groove when playing the same idiotic everyman placed in a slightly different context on each subsequent show. What does change over time is his focus on a particular motif. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 07/01/2016
On a certain level it feels like Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll is still figuring out what kind of show it wants to be, but the serialization this time around has found an interesting thematic foundation to anchor each week's storyline. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Sep 12 10 funny musical FXX episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more steve d @RT35616104 08/14/2020 It is disappointing that they seemed to refocus on Hendrix's character (who is one of the shows least interesting). this year but the rest is great. See more 10/26/2018 netflix should buy this show and renew it. such a possibiliies and great talents See more 03/22/2018 i wish there were more episodes of this See more 10/12/2017 I really miss this serie and it's great music See more 02/03/2017 Making all the wrong moves, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll crashes and burns in its second season. Instead of continuing to follow Gigi and her band struggle to make it in the New York music scene, the show completely changes its focus to Johnny Rock's girlfriend Ava and her launching of a solo project. And in another inexplicable change, Gigi randomly seeks out a lesbian romance while still dating her lead guitarist. The writing is awful and is completely devoid of the wit and clever satire that made the first season so fresh. Worse yet, the characters all come off as insufferable assholes. There's a bit of a recovery in the last third of the season (with a stronger focus on Johnny and Gigi's relationship), but it's not enough to save the season. Much like a real rock band, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll self-destructs, ensuring that its second season is its last. See more Read all reviews
