Pistol
Never mind the bollocks...
Created by Craig Pearce
On Hulu
A high-energy, irreverent dramatization of punk rock's explosive emergence in 1970s London, balancing working-class grit with the exhilaration of cultural rebellion.
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.
