Enjoyable series. I thought it could have been more "real" from a filmmaking sense, rather than too smooth and nice in its appearance, but overall the actors were fantastic. Special mention to Anson Boon as Lydon and also Thomas Brodie-Sangster as McClaren, who were awesome.

[@redlady935]

I was very conscious that they were all acting, which is generally not great. Apart from Malcolm MacClarren. He seemed like the real deal ....and Jordan

[@matiasfrangioni]

Talulah Riley nailed Vivienne Westwood. The cast as a whole were excellent.

[@illmatic9096]

I actually enjoyed this show, not as bad as some people are making out. Better than sid and nancy. I feel like people are jus hating just for the sake of it. I thought the performances on stage was amazing, the actors actually playing the instruments and singing instead of miming makes the show feel authentic and real. Sure the show has some problems, it's not a perfect show, some things seemed rushed and glossed over especially the finale which i had a problem with but overrall it's a very enjoyable show, not awful by any means. It's entertaining. I like that they did not shy away with the swastika symbols also. I wish they stretched it a little bit tho. At least three or four more episodes would have been better and covered everything better.

I loved it, thought the actors were well cast and Steve’s story was a good one. I can see why Lydon was pissed off for not being consulted but I think he came out well in it.

LoL! The cast literally looks basically retarded. It would be better off if they would just go ahead and cgi the original bands heads over this completely F*cked up cast.

The recreations of concerts was excellent, they are so similar to the original footage.

[@K._Oss]

As a person unfortunately born as a millennial but whose life was changed as a teenager by the sex pistols, when I went into binge watching this, I had to prepare myself to Haidet just in case Johnny was right. He was the complete opposite of right. I said there with my eyes glued to the screen for 6 1/2 hours blown away by every shot in every line and every moment that had the old 15 year old Punkin me jumping for NRK joy during the concert scenes and catching little moments from the sex pistols folklore that only could’ve come from the band members own accounts instead of fifth hand accounts from journalists. The guy who played Joni rotten while he took a good 10 seconds of warming up too, he captured everything that we loved dearly about AND were scared shitless about Johnny Rotten to this day. The guy who plays Glenn does a good job at a train a guy who is kind of a snobby prick but he’s not that bad of a guy after all, Cookie is the great ride or die at the end of the day, and it’s terrifying how much better the kid who played Sid was in this then Gary Oldman was in Sid and Nancy, and Nancy by the way, after all the stories I had heard, The mirror site of her as a character made me sick to my stomach when she came on screen. And I don’t say that to put the actress down, because that means she played Nancy the right damn way; a sickening dreadful girl. And the music is great too! We gotta give it to the actors for actually putting the Time in to learn their instruments and learn to play as a band to at least reenact even just a smidgen of what it would’ve been like. Forgive me for rambling, I’m just a really pleased pistols fan, and the more Johnny rotten hates it, the better it’s gonna age, as well as the drama they keeps em suing because of it just keeps adding pages to the Sex Pistols story.

[@Boilingfrogg]

To much wokery. Pauline wasn't a black rape victim she was a total psychopath as the lyrics to the song point out, she was a disgrace.

[@SparkleNeely]

I loved this show. I binged it one day. I thought the Johnny actor was just like John. Nailed him totally and the Sid actor looked like Sid. I liked that they got a pretty girl for Nancy and made her sympathetic, like she had problems but wasn’t a bad person. I recommend this to all Sex Pistol fans.

[@Best_Wrestling_Promos]

I grew up watching the Sex Pistols notoriety grow, and I know the band members' personalities quite well from the countless interviews I was fascinated by. This bio-series captures it all PERFECTLY, in my opinion...couldnt be better. The actors are phenomenal, especially Sid & Malcolm. Bt they all are spot-on. Love the emphasis on the Chrissy Hynde relationship, and the heart-t-heart Jones and Rotten have at the end (which was made-up for the film, but perfect in summary)

[@K._Oss]

What makes it better, is that I listen to Steve talk about it on a podcast and he said even though it was made up, it really made him feel good and gave him some new perspective on how things turned out all those years ago.

[@Best_Wrestling_Promos]

@kyfaydfsoab No, but I was 13 years old and worshipping them after the rogue djs would play “Anarchy in the UK” late at night. Then there was a record called “Some Product, Carri On” which was just clips of them talking from inteteeviews. That’s when you got to know their accents and personalities

[@mesolithicman164]

One of the many things that make the Pistols so interesting was the volatility of relationships within the band while also being a tight unit provoking the Establishment. Another key factor were Vivienne's brilliant clothes which they interchanged, there was a high art concept overlaid on them, the same but different as Roxy Music, Bowie and even the Clash who came into their own later. Great band, great times, sadly gone.

Not really, the American tour looked way too hostile, I’ve seen the Longhorn Ballroom show several times and it was nowhere near as violent as portrayed in the TV show. Also making the actors play as a band instead of having them mime to actual pistols tracks was a mistake as they sounded terrible, I’ve seen way better Pistols tribute acts.

It was a pretty fun series. A little bit cheesy, but these things usually are and obvious artistic license to dramatise things and change the story where it suits, but that’s nothing new. If you watch it without trying to scrutinise every detail and compare it to the reality then it’s a good little series.

[@TheBackroomCollective]

I loved this show...binged it in one day.

[@pattycifra6904]

Loved it! Loved it!! Binged watch it and as a Pistols fan will watch it again and again. Biopics in essence are phony by nature, but this one is done so well, it's full of the spirit of rebellious youth and feels raw and real. "Pistol" will endure, it's an excellent telling of their tale with great attention to details, and very entertaining. Yes, facts were dramatized, and artistic license was taken, but done with great creativity. Episode 2- "Rotten" and 3-"Bodies" were my favorites but loved it all. Excellent acting, each actor was superb, the voices and accents believable. Boyle's decision to have the actors perform the music live was a smart choice. The dynamic cinematography, graphics, recreation of concerts and scenery was brilliant. Well done, cast and crew - the haters and critics sound like boring old farts. Give it a chance, it's a blast!

[@diablazjamz]

Johnny Rotten's charisma, voice, and stunning good looks while he was with the Sex Pistols-no actor has come close yet. They've been sad caricatures of someone who was captivating, intelligent, and probably needs to cast, write, and direct his own bio-pic.

In truth not many people have 'played Rotten' to my knowledge- in my experience- '77 to mid 80s mostly, John was the most ' intelligent, ignorant, thoughtful, inconsiderate ,stupid, genius, hard working,lazy, handsome, ugly,pretentious, sexist, sexy, good/bad influence around' .....but I don't know how many of us would have a real idea of what we were actually like over 40 years ago,....Would we ??

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Sometimes the actor nailed his accent then slipped back out of it.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Apparently Glenn Matlock told Jones when asked what he thought about the series and said Jones had a "lousy memory" so that tells you it isn't very accurate. Didn't like the whole Jones and Chrissy Hynde love story like it was some Disney romance. In the series they make a big deal of Glenn being sacked and he says he walked and that never happened. Made for those that think Bohemian rhapsody was good when that was totally inaccurate as well.

[@johnnyquid77]

The series was not meant to be downright 'historically accurate' or another Sex Pistols biopic/documentary, but an adaptation of Steve Jones' biography which, if you read it, you'll see that the series did in fact a great job of staying true to. Now the thing is, a biography is the story of the person who writes it, the way he remembers it, so whoever doesn't like it can go out and write their own, as 45 years down the line I'm pretty sure everyone will remember everything just a little different from everyone else.

Then why the fuck are you commenting, dipshit? You haven't seen it, and have no intention of seeing it, but wanted to tell everyone that bit of fascinating fluff?

It’s on Disney plus?

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

@@step9679 That's much, much worse.

[@mollyb3lle]

woah the TV interview scenes are done so similarly, even down to the micro expressions and other small details, like glens wave or johnnys rocking in his chair

[@MrBrutal33]

Cannot stand biopics purely because of the fact that directors invent scenes for dramatic purposes - the camera wasn't on Steve Jones when he started abusing Grundy so why invent that footage? Oliver Stone did the same thing with The Doors when he showed Jim Morrison coming right up to the camera during Light my Fire which never happened.

[@firestriker3580]

Just because they invent scenes for dramatic purposes that does not mean that it is terrible. Get over it. The camera was on Steve Jones when he started abusing rundy and they didn't invent that footage all for stone did not do the same thing and if they didn't include those things it would be boring

[@firestriker3580]

Oliver stone did not do the same thing with the doors and Jim Morrison did come up right to the camera during light my fire and it did happen, it would be boring if they didn't have these scenes so shush and just watch the video

The only thing I can't get over is how "Lydon" doesn't look like the actual Lydon, don't get me wrong, he portrayed him awesomely, but he doesn't look the part.

[@FrakkinToasterLuvva]

Well, too bad they can't make clones of people and grow them to play them in biopics, right?

[@dominique6259]

Je n'ai pas encore regardé le biopic, peut être que je ne le regarderai jamais. Je suis né à Calais, juste en face du Royaume-Uni, dès 1977, on rencontrait des jeunes Anglais à la degaine sauvage dans nos rues. Ça changeait des baba cools chevelus qu'on rencontrait partout. Sympathiques malgré tout, ils nous avaient fait cadeau du 45 tours (single) "God save the Queen" qu'on s'était empressé de mettre dans le juke box du bistrot qui nous servait de quartier général. J'allais avoir 17 ans. J'ai acheté "Nevermind the Bollocks" Édition Barclays (sans Submission) la même année. Dans la foulée, on est monté à Eindhoven pour voir le groupe sur scène. On n'avait pas l'impression d'assister à quelque chose d'historique, mais de voir un groupe qui parlait de nos désillusions. Puis le groupe a splitté, Sid Vicious est mort. En 1978, j'écoutais "First Issue" de PIL, c'était moins Destroy, mais ça restait quand même anarchique. PIL, que j'ai vu en Belgique début 80 (Ils ont même repris Holidays in the sun, ce jour là ). Il y avait encore Crass, ou The Clash, mais on sentait bien qu'un truc s'était cassé. En 1979, j'écoutais "Unknown Pleasures" de Joy Division. Un nouveau choc.

[@skullduggery3377]

but why redo scenes when you have the ORIGINAL band to see in those scenes?

[@firewithin8200]

Johny said that they didn't even consult him. So that's enough. I ain't even gonna waste my time.

Amazing band. Big shout from the US. Love Sex Pistols and also more modern rebellious British acts like Slaves, Idles, Kate Tempest, Sleaford Mods, Bob Vylan, Allflaws
