Another day, another Netflix show that has got viewers have been binge-watching it.

And this particular show already has viewers outraged over it's 'fully erect penis' scene - so you know it's probably something.

The drama series follows the trials and tribulations of a real estate mogul, Charlie Croker (played by Dumb & Dumber's Jeff Daniels) as he struggles to hold things together after things take a turn for the worse.

It was intended as a miniseries, consisting of just six episodes. However, many people had the same complaint after watching it.

So what is this show that has people talking?

Well, it's called A Man in Full, and is based on the novel of the same name by Tom Wolfe.

As well as Daniels in the lead, the series also stars Tom Pelphrey, Diane Lane and Lucy Liu.

You can watch the trailer here:

As for that 'erect penis' scene previously mentioned, let's just say that someone working on the show decided to take the title 'man in full' literally.

This wasn't the first time that a penis has been shown in a mainstream film, such as that one shot in Monty Python's Life of Brian where Graham Chapman exposes himself to a crowd of adoring believers.

But the different here is that in the case of A Man in Full, this wasn't a flaccid penis, it was a rather more stiff affair.

For context, the scene aired in the series' last episode and sees Croker meeting his rival, Raymond Peepgrass (Pelphrey) who has just taken some viagra after having sex with Croker's wife, Martha.

However, despite this shocker of an ending, many viewers over on Netflix's Bangers said they felt 'disappointed'.

One wrote: "Good show until the last scene. Is this a cliffhanger or what?", while another posted: "Disappointed at the end."

Meanwhile, a third remarked: "Great build up it kept me engaged but the ending was dumb and quite disappointing."

And a final said: "Loved it, but ending could have been better."

However, others found it 'quite witty' and 'very good' - so it wasn't bad all round.

The ending scene has already been the cause of controversy, with members of the UK parliament even condemning it as 'low-grade, pornographic rubbish'.

Harsh words.

Because of how talked-about the scene has become, Pelphery - who had to stand wearing a prosthetic penis - has since spoken out about it, telling Variety: "All things that literally have never crossed my mind, truly. I’m always like, ‘That makes sense, let’s do it!’ All of a sudden I’m like, ‘I’m gonna have a kid, I don’t know if I want her to see this!'

"Based on the text, we thought it was kind of funny that this little buggy Raymond Peepgrass might have a f**king big d**k."
