Netflix subscribers have been threatening to cancel their accounts after the streamer released a seriously X-rated series about the world's most famous adult star.

The streaming giant released Supersex, written and created by Italian screenwriter Francesca Manieri, on March 6, charting the life led by the notorious Italian porn star Rocco Siffredi.

Given that the 59-year-old starred in over 1,300 adult movies over the course of his career, still dabbling in the production side to this day, it should come as no surprise that the series is pretty explicit itself - so much so that some subscribers have threatened to cancel their accounts over it.

Watch the trailer here: 

According to the 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 pornography and accept that the demon in his body is compatible with love."

The cast includes Alessandro Borghi playing Siffredi as well as Jasmine Trinca, Linda Hardy, and David Kammenos on the lineup.

Since the series dropped on Netflix, it has elicited a pretty strong reaction - with some wanting to boycott the streamer for sharing such X-rated content.

After Netflix shared a pretty graphic clip on Instagram, many followers took to the comments to share their anger, writing: "I don't appreciate this content popping up as soon as I opened Instagram. My kids are with me and saw this, not okay. This makes me reconsider supporting Netflix."

Others added: "Now we have porn on netflix as well? Cancelling account while we speak, my kids can't see this," and: "i’m sorry what??? children literally follow netflix."

One wrote: "Time to unfollow Netflix," while someone else added: "WTF!!! @netflix I just saw my 11 year old browsing through Netflix he stopped at this supersex and was just watching the nonsense since when did @netflix start showing porn? @netflix you just lost a customer."

Another simply commented: "Unfollowed. canceling account tomorrow morning!" "

Supersex is not the first time Netflix has pushed the boundary with their content about the adult industry, as it previously released Money Shot: The Pornhub Story last year and its infamous trilogy, 365 Days.

However, it seems this particular series might be a little too far for certain subscribers - particularly when it popped up on their Instagram feed as the first post they saw when they opened the app.

Others appear to be enjoying it as it has an 86 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes for its "loose" portrayal of the infamous porn star's life.

While Siffredi himself shot over 1,300 movies in his time, Borghi - who plays him in the series - also had to film 50 sex scenes in just 95 days while shooting, according to Italian news outlet Today.

The series has been rated 18+, for obvious reasons.

Supersex is available to stream on Netflix now.
