Pistol

Ended / 7:00pm Hulu 52 min.
"Pistol" is a six-episode limited series about a rock and roll revolution. The furious, raging storm at the center of this revolution are the Sex Pistols - and at the center of this series is Sex Pistols� founding member and guitarist, Steve Jones. Jones� hilarious, emotional and at times heart-breaking journey guides us through a kaleidoscopic telling of three of the most epic, chaotic and mucus-spattered years in the history of music. Based on Jones� memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol, this is the story of a band of spotty, noisy, working-class kids with �no future,� who shook the boring, corrupt Establishment to its core, threatened to bring down the government and changed music and culture forever.
