The show stars Alessandro Borghi as the lead character, portraying a fictionalized version of adult film icon Rocco Siffredi.
Over the course of filming, Borghi reportedly filmed more than 50 intimate scenes, according to Italian outlet Today.
While Supersex has been praised by critics—it holds an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes—many viewers have taken to social media to express outrage and discomfort.
One now-deleted scene shared on Netflix’s U.S. Instagram account stirred further backlash. It featured Borghi in a dramatic, suggestive moment that quickly sparked an avalanche of angry comments.
“You’ve crossed the line,” one user commented. “This is no longer adult drama—it’s something else entirely.”
