Netflix viewers have been left feeling uncomfortable by an X-rated series with extremely graphic scenes.
The popularity of watching Netflix series has skyrocketed in recent years, driven by the platform's vast library of diverse content and the convenience of streaming.
Netflix's ability to deliver high-quality, original series that cater to a wide range of tastes has captivated global audiences.
The ease of access, combined with features like binge-watching and personalized recommendations, has transformed how people consume television.
The cultural impact of Netflix series is significant, as shows like Stranger Things and The Crown have become global phenomena, fostering online communities and discussions.
This blend of convenience, quality, and cultural relevance makes Netflix series a dominant force in the entertainment industry.
However, despite its popularity, the streamer has not been without its fair share of controversy...
Check out the trailer:Supersex, written and created by Italian screenwriter Francesca Manieri, has shocked viewers ever since it was released back in March.
The series is inspired by the life led by the notorious Italian p*rn star Rocco Siffredi and even just hearing the premise of the show, you can imagine that things really got wild.
For those of you who might not be familiar with the name (but I'm sure you probably are, right?) Siffredi has starred in over 1,300 adult movies over the span of his career and though things have slowed down a little for him at 60, he still dabbles in the production side of things.
As per its official IMDb description, the show follows "Siffredi's family, his origins, his relationship, and the context that led him to embark on his path in p*rnography and accept that the demon in his body is compatible with love."
But social media users were left baffled after seeing some of the extremely graphic scenes, branding the entire thing as straight "p*rn."
Things got so bad that a clip of the controversial show was shared on Netflix's official Instagram and quickly deleted due to the intense backlash it received.
"Now we have p*rn on Netflix as well? Canceling the account while we speak, my kids can’t see this," wrote one horrified user, while another added: "Are we just making p**rn mainstream now? It’s pretty sickening that there is no warning on explicit content like this. Yet women who post a picture breastfeeding are flagged. This should be a separate category on Netflix if you want to put stuff like this out."
Yikes.
A third also chimed into the conversation commenting: "It’s really sad that this is accepted in modern culture. The hyper-sexualisation of our society and generation is depressing and degrading to the value of both genders."
Over on X, many were also put off by the intense nature of it
"New show on Netflix. Supersex. I lasted 2 minutes. If you're into p*rn, you'll like it. Not me," this user commented.
And this user pointed out that beyond the graphic parts, it was also "miserable."
"I’m watching #supersex on @netflix and it has to be one of the most miserable shows I’ve ever seen. Omfg. Everybody is either sad, depressed, dying, or fighting with a spouse. Even when they happy or celebrating they saying depressive s*** to each other."
Supersex is available to watch on Netflix now.
