In the second half of the 1970s, the English punk band Sex Pistols appeared on the scene. The rest is music history. Now "Trainspotting" director Danny Boyle is dedicating a mini-series that is more than just worth seeing to the boys.
"Our thing isn't music, our thing is chaos!" says Steve Jones (played by Toby Wallace) in the third episode of the miniseries "Pistol". The emergence and the most exciting time of the English punk band Sex Pistols is told here in six episodes.
Though director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Craig Pearce show plenty of creative freedom, the spirit of the era, which vented the anger of a generation, is palpable in every scene and dialogue. "Pistol" - streaming at Disney - is unsanitary, funny and "edgy". And it should be, after all the series is based on the book "Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol" by Steve Jones himself.
