Netflix’s new series Supersex, based on the life of Italian adult film star Rocco Siffredi, has left many viewers outraged. Some called it “sickening”, with many threatening to cancel their subscriptions over its graphic content.

The seven-episode series follows Rocco’s rise from a small-town Italian boy to a controversial adult film icon. One of the most criticized scenes involves a funeral setting, which many viewers called “appalling and uncalled for”.

Lead actor Alessandro Borghi called the role his most challenging, revealing he filmed 50 sex scenes in just 95 days. Meanwhile, Rocco defended the series, stating, “This is who I am. I could never be myself without showing everything.”

Netflix rated the show 18+, but it still sparked outrage. This isn’t the first time Netflix has tested boundaries—previous films like 365 Days and Money Shot: The Pornhub Story also drew controversy.
