Season 1 Review:
This is Punk Rock 101, designed to widen the audience tent to include viewers whose knowledge of the Sex Pistols is relatively limited. For all the frantic pacing and visual flourishes, for all the rebellious chaos depicted here, “Pistol” is a downright respectable telling of the tale.

Season 1 Review:
It was so engaging, at times, that my own critical brain was left behind in the excitement. If the visceral thrill wears off a little too quickly, and leaves you pondering the question of “what’s missing here?”, that doesn’t quite take away the initial achievement, the performances, and the sense that on some level, this show does justice to the bizarre, thrilling ascent of a band whose influence outstripped its talent by country miles.

Season 1 Review:
Even with the occasionally eye-rolling moments of high minded hyperbole about what the Pistols means to its fans and the fate of England’s working class, it continues to compel with its rich period details, cheeky humor, and the music, which has lost none of its raw power after 45 years. No matter what it skims over or outright avoids, Pistol won’t leave any viewer feeling as though they’ve been cheated.

Season 1 Review:
Boyle’s full-throttle sensibilities wrestle against the moments of sentimentality and heavy-handed nods to the Sex Pistols’s most disreputable members. But Pistol is unapologetic and joyfully unabashed in its vulgarity, which makes a fitting tribute to a bunch of rabble-rousers who never shied away from making an impression.
