The series may include blood and violence that you may not want to see. And drugs also. But that’s it. They are real. They are not model citizens. They didn’t do anything to be taken as example. That’s what you get.

In 70s the British youth aren’t interested in order. They are looking for something out of order. There comes punk rock music.
Far before they release their number one song and album Steve Jones says , “We’re not into music. We’re into chaos.”
The Sex Pistols’ name is interesting. Their life is interesting. Their music may not be the music style that makes you comfortable while you’re jogging around your territory. But they do not make their music to let you feel comfortable. They are not comfortable. They all have issues with life. With families. With school. With love. With law. With their country.
They tell these issues outloud with their music so that everyone can hear. So that the Queen can hear.
The series may include blood and violence that you may not want to see. And drugs also. But that’s it. They are real. They are not model citizens. They didn’t do anything to be taken as example. That’s what you get.
The rest is sex, pistols, songs and history. Welcome to chaos.
