NETFLIX fans have been left divided after the “raunchiest show in the streamer’s history” launched.
The eye-popping scenes in Supersex, which landed on the platform yesterday, have got viewers talking.
The fictionalised biographical series tells the story of prominent adult film star Rocco Siffredi.
A synopsis for the show reads: “Inspired by true events, this is the story of how Rocco Siffredi escaped a humble life and emerged as the world’s greatest porn star.”
Siffredi is described in the series as the ‘Italian stallion’.
Netflix viewers have been binging the seven-part series but some say there were forced to switch off.
Taking to social media, one viewer posted: “Supersex is horrendous and Netflix confirms itself as a repository of rubbish.”
A second wrote: “Supersex is the most useless thing Netflix could produce. We talk about feminicide, sexual education, the objectification of women and then we do a series on sick and violent porn. It truly left me with an unprecedented sadness..”
“How heavy and how banal. Bad acting. I’ll stop at the second episode,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “Alessandro Borghi managed to give depth to a character that only had one length.”
Supersex features Alessandro Borghi, Saul Nanni, Jasmine Trinca and Vincenzo Nemolato.
Francesca Manieri, the filmmaker behind the series, said: “My goal was to put men in front of themselves.”
She continued to the Independent: “This is what we call the phallocentric system, the system in which the d*** is the centrum of the thought before everything.
“So what can you do right now, [in] 2024, to understand the relationship between men and women? And how can men put themselves in front of the image of their symbolic d*** and try to deconstruct all of this?”
Supersex is available now on Netflix.
