Controversial Netflix series has viewers threatening to cancel their memberships over ‘sickening’ content

The Netflix show has an impressive 80 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes but not everyone is happy with one scene

A Netflix drama series about a famous porn star had viewers in such a state of shock some threatened to cancel their subscriptions.

Supersex is loosely based on the life of Rocco Siffredi, a pornographic actor who has starred in more than 1,300 adult films.

He’s now the subject matter and main inspiration behind Netflix’s highly provocative series.

According to the streaming service’s official description, the seven-part drama follows ‘how and when Rocco Tano - a simple guy from Ortona became Rocco Siffredi, the most famous pornstar in the world.’

Watch the trailer below:

The series has an impressive 80 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but it turns out not everyone is happy.

It's safe to say directors did not shy away from filming raunchy scenes and this led to a mixed reaction from viewers, some of whom were outraged about a show focusing on the life of a pornographic actor.

A clip from Supersex was shared and deleted on Netflix’s official Instagram account, IGV reports, and one viewer complained: “Now we have porn on Netflix as well? Cancelling the account while we speak, my kids can’t see this.”

The drama has been rated strictly for viewers 18 and over because of its sexual content.

And one scene in particular from episode six got viewers riled up.

After the death of his mother in the episode, Rocco has an encounter at the funeral with one of his mother’s friends who offers her condolences and performs fellatio on him.

One viewer wrote: "I watched Supersex, which was compelling and interesting. Until, episode six mid-way. It was appalling, disrespectful and uncalled for. I’m talking about the cemetery scene.

"Before this episode, I would have given a thumbs up. So messed up."

Another viewer wrote on Twitter: "Yes, I know, complaining about too many sex scenes in Supersex is like complaining about too many car races in Fast & Furious. But also a few less, eh."

Siffredi himself spoke with the Hollywood Reporter to defend the X-rated series.

Addressing how Supersex is told from the point of view of two women, the porn star said: "[Director] Francesca Mazzoleni is forward, she has a great head and also a way of looking at things that I really like."

He also had plenty of praise for Alessandro Borghi, the actor who plays him, by stating that ‘no one else in Italy could play me’.

Borghi told Italian news outlet Today that he filmed a whopping 50 sex scenes in just 95 days.

If you want to have a go counting how many sex scenes there are in the show, Supersex is available to stream now.
