“I’m going to try to keep it light,” Mick Jagger says with a rubbery grin at the start of “My Life As a Rolling Stone.” 

How to encapsulate one of music’s behemoths while staying breezy is, of course, a challenge given the band’s hefty history. But the four-part docuseries that debuted Sunday on Epix tenders a comprehensive overview of how the Rolling Stones became THE ROLLING STONES with vintage performance footage and interview clips, plus new commentary from Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.
