Story
Pistol follows the story of a group of young, working-class kids in London during the late 1970s who come together to form a punk rock band called 'The Sex Pistols'. Led by charismatic frontman Johnny Rotten (played by Toby Wallace), the band challenges the conservative cultural norms and political establishment of the time with their raw, noisy music and provocative lyrics. The band's manager Malcolm McLaren (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) encourages them to embrace anarchy and controversy, pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in popular culture. As the band gains popularity and influences a generation of disillusioned youth, they also attract unwanted attention from authorities who see their music as a threat to society's moral fabric. The series chronicles the band's rise to fame, their impact on the punk rock movement, and the personal struggles they face along the way.
