Recently, Netflix’s new series, Supersex, has stirred quite the reaction among its viewers. Many have expressed feelings of discomfort and even suggested canceling their subscriptions.

The series highlights the life of Rocco Siffredi, a noted Italian adult film star, renowned for appearing in over 1,300 films. The character of Rocco is brought to life by the talented Italian actor, Alessandro Borghi.

Supersex traces Rocco’s journey from his humble beginnings in Ortona, a town in central Italy, to his rise as the “godfather of rough adult content.”

Among the most contentious scenes is one that unfolds at the funeral of Rocco’s mother, where he is shown in a compromising situation with a family friend. This particular moment has sparked considerable debate.

Viewers didn’t hold back from sharing their opinions on the seven-episode series. One viewer stated, “I found Supersex to be both engaging and intriguing, up until the sixth episode. The cemetery scene was particularly shocking and seemed uncalled for. Before this moment, I would have praised the show.”

The series’ star shared his thoughts, describing it as “absolutely the most complicated challenge” he has embarked on. In a mere 95 days, he filmed 50 intimate scenes, as reported by the Italian news source, Today.

Rocco Siffredi, whose story is depicted in the series, has been candid about the uproar Supersex has engendered. When asked if the audience might be scandalized, his response was unequivocal, “Certainly. I have always been transparent about who I am.”

“What the series reveals is a part of my life unknown to many,” he continued, “It showcases not just my career in front of the camera but also my upbringing and the defining moments of my life.”

While Netflix has appropriately rated the series for viewers 18 years and older, it hasn’t stopped some from voicing their uneasy reactions to what they deem as “inappropriate” content.

Supersex is not Netflix’s first foray into challenging societal taboos; previous titles like 365 Days and Money Shot: The Pornhub Story have similarly tested boundaries.
