The series chronicles the band's early years.

The film drama Pistol, which tells the story of the British cult band the Sex Pistols, was criticized by one of its former members. He called the upcoming film "upsetting".

The new drama is based on a memoir by the rock band's former guitarist Steve Jones and follows the early days of the rock band in West London while detailing Steve's battle with sex addiction.

"It's upsetting as a lot of it has sexual connotations which are dubious at best. They have gone for the wrong end of things just to be sensational. I think there is much more quality to the Pistols than that," John told The Mirror.
