Netflix’s New ‘Explicit’ Sparks Controversy with Explicit Content and Divisive Reactions

Netflix has once again ignited heated discussions with the debut of its latest series, Supersex. The show explores the life of Rocco Siffredi, a legendary figure in the adult entertainment industry, often referred to as the ‘godfather of rough sex.’ Bold, unapologetic, and deeply provocative, the series has drawn significant attention—not only for its explicit content but also for the intense reactions it has provoked among viewers.

Supersex: Pushing Boundaries and Stirring Debate

From documentaries like Money Shot: The Pornhub Story to the 365 Days trilogy, Netflix has built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of mainstream entertainment. However, Supersex seems to have ventured into even more polarizing territory. While some viewers applaud the series for its raw honesty and fearless approach, others argue that it crosses into territory typically reserved for adult-only platforms.

At the heart of the series is Rocco Siffredi, whose career spans over 1,300 adult films. Known for his intense on-screen persona, Siffredi’s life story unfolds through Supersex, exploring his rise to fame, personal struggles, and the impact he’s had on the adult entertainment industry. Alessandro Borghi, who portrays Siffredi, revealed he performed in nearly 50 simulated sex scenes over 95 days of filming—an indicator of the show’s unabashedly explicit nature.

Explicit Content Sparks Viewer Backlash

Labeled strictly for audiences aged 18 and above, Supersex doesn’t shy away from mature themes. Despite this, backlash has erupted across social media, with critics accusing Netflix of normalizing pornography and exposing explicit material to unsuspecting audiences. Tensions escalated when Netflix’s US Instagram account briefly shared a provocative clip from the series, sparking swift outrage from concerned viewers.
