An erotic film trilogy on Netflix has viewers urging others to give it a shot, with some even stressing that it's a 'must-watch'.
There's no shortage of steamy films on the streaming platform - after all, it literally has a 'Steamy Movies' category.
A few have taken viewers by storm, with one Brazilian film that's '80% sex' being recommended by others to add to your watchlist, while another TV show goes the more biographical route, looking into the life of the 'godfather of rough sex'.

However, this film series has been hailed as the answer to Fifty Shades of Grey, and there's no denying why, with scene-to-scene intimacy, it has been getting viewers hearts racing around the world.
It is based on the trilogy of novels written by Polish author, Blanka Lipińska, and stars the likes of Anna-Maria Sieklucka and Michele Morrone as Laura and Massimo, whose whirlwind relationship starts out with a pretty toxic arrangement - that he'll make her fall in love with him within a year.
And what follows are several scenes you wouldn’t want to watch with your parents.
The trilogy I'm talking about, of course, is the 365 Days franchise - not to be confused with the 28 Days Later franchise... can you imagine a sexual zombie scene?
Critics weren't very kind to the film series, as all three received zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which usually isn't a good sign.

But what have fans been saying about them?
Well, one Twitter user has insisted people should flick it on, writing: "If you ain’t watch 365 days on Netflix it a must watch."
While another typed: "One of the most watched series on Netflix ever is a movie called 365 Days. Its basically softcore and very rough pornography.

"It has a lot of a woman being tied up by a rich handsome guy like another famous movie. Why do so many people (especially women) like this stuff?"
Meanwhile, over on IMDb, it was also rated poorly, with the first film being the highest at 3.3 stars - you take what you can get, really.
But some fans were coming to the defense of the trilogy, even giving it a whopping 10/10.
One of these users wrote in their review: "People rating this badly are very vanilla, clearly. This is definitely a very well set out movie that satisfy the type of people that don't like just a straight forward soppy love story.

"There is a bit of push and pull between the male and female character and the female character is very strong minded which many people love.
"If you don't like this type of movie then why watch it and rate it badly? Why should us females be shot down because this is the type of romance we like? I personally think it is better than 50 shades of grey."
While another user, who also gave 365 Days top marks, added: "It's Garbage if you're looking for great storyline but if you want to enjoy pure erotic romance yes it is a consummate time pass for you."
