Supersexo

This TV series is loosely based on the life of Italian pornstar Rocco Siffredi (born Tano). It's not a biopic, and as Siffredi stated, "it is based on me, but this is certainly not my life."

Supersex was the name of a photo magazine first published in France and then in Italy, from the end of the 70s to the mid-90s. Supposedly, it affected Siffredi at a young age, leading him to idolize porn and pursue a career in the porn industry.

The first couple of episodes are reminiscent of 'Malena' with Monica Bellucci. There are some very attractive women, idyllic scenery, and family values that lead to serious conflicts, initially resembling a European movie from the 80s.

This is not an erotic TV series. The producers didn't aim for sensuality, and the many nude or sex scenes don't convey that vibe at all.

The actors portraying actual persons look the part and do their best to give a sense of authenticity to the behavior and mannerisms of those individuals.

There isn't an explicit moral statement in this series. Porn is initially romanticized, but soon it becomes evident that it's just another job with its own set of rules and challenges. There is an underlying ideology, like freedom, but ultimately, it's about money, fame, and serving the industry.

Overall: If you're bored of the usual Netflix TV series, give it a chance. It's not offensive or pornographic.

I find sx scenes irrelevant in many films - proves nothing except a cheap shot at something to fill in the silence. I also dislike erotic fantasy flicks - Skipped them all until this!

Watched without any expectations, got rid of the horrid English voice over dubs and found this bio an absolute treasure in its original language. I was drawn to their stories, each character had something deeper and relatable on a human level.

Very good actors here worth more projects ahead and I am definitely looking forward to their versatility.

Deserves far better reviews than just being branded as "steamy" and raunchy. However, each to his/her/their own.

A very human, very sensitive, touching and true. A real work of art disguised as a porn documentary.

When something I watch comes to an end and I feel sad that it finished, I know that it was really grand. This is exactly what I felt when this documentary finished. Sad.

So it is so strange to me that it has scored so low, so far. Perhaps people feel embarrassed when porn is involved, or the taboo of porn is so hard to overcome. When I gave this a score of nine, I knew that I did it a misservice, because deep down I know it deserves a ten. But, as I have said, the subject of porn is taboo and I think it has affected me as well.

I don't even know what drew me to the show (oh well probably the title) but I definitely didn't expect such a great quality show. I watched it in Italian and the actors were all great - top notch really. I'm still not 100% sure what the point of the story was to be honest but I just enjoyed watching it as a whole as the delivery was just that good. I don't think the dude had the most interesting life (most details were probably a little embellished) but it was just a glimpse into a different world which I really liked. And a bonus : even though this is a Netflix show, it wasn't the typical "we need to include everything and everyone " kind of spiel which I'm just so tired of. So definitely give this a Chance!

Keep an open mind when engaging in this series as it will challenge convention. It will go into multiple layers of storytelling in order to provide background for the pathology behind the "birth" of one of the most famous actors in the adult industry. The series is unexpectedly good and well implemented, well acted and has a very binding atmosphere.

Plot starts from childhood and the troubles that come with battling catholic house hold drama in a small Italian town. The intricacies that follow offer a Dostoievskian twist to the overall vibe of the series with an intertwining destiny between the protagonist, its muses & his calling.
