The Danny Boyle-directed miniseries chronicles the meteoric rise and crash of the Sex Pistols amid the late 1970s London punk scene, based on the memoir by guitarist Steve Jones.
Toby Wallace, Jacob Slater, Anson Boon, Louis Partridge, Sydney Chandler, Christian Lees, Talulah Riley, Maisie Williams, Emma Appleton, Thomas Brodie-SangsterThe opening minutes of the series establish 1970s Britain as the best of times and the worst of times through a smattering of clips from the era: sitcoms and David Bowie at the Odeon, violent uprisings and Queen Elizabeth II.
The chaotic party atmosphere of the culture is reflected in Boyle’s kitchen-sink approach. Employing a 4:3 ratio reminiscent of TV screens of the era,switches between a soft-focus look and a grittier one, cuts in footage of the real Pistols and news reports from the era, sets his camera at odd angles and edits at a frantic pace. It’s all soundtracked not just by the Pistols but by the likes of David Bowie, Pink Floyd and The Who.
At least they fare better than Nancy Spungen , portrayed as an object of irritation, disgust and eventually pity, but never as a character worth getting to know on her own terms. Or Pauline , who’s put through every sort of abuse and humiliation in episode three — all so she can inspire the song “Bodies” before disappearing from the series entirely.want
