    First episode was a mixed bag, and my first thought was that you can tell who provided the source material. I'd imagine if Johnny Rotten had written the book it was based on, we'd be hearing about how everything was his idea. Still, for dramatized rockumentary, it does have some visual pizazz, and you can't beat the soundtrack.

    While the series has kinks to work out, the prospect of another season (or more) detailing what the members did afterwards would be fascinating to watch and perhaps less cartoon-ish than aspects of Season One that have been documented ad nauseam.

    Pistol is a fun watch, rife with visual flourishes and emboldened by a strong cast on top of its otherwise by-the-book music biopic boilerplate.

    What we get is another common souvenir, courtesy of a decently wailed version of a ditty we've heard before.
