Mesmerising, excellent character development, you feel and connect with all the characters, the language makes it even more powerful, the sec scenes complement the film and they don't feel 'raunchy' but part of the story. I binged it and now I miss Rocco and the series. I strongly recommend it. More than it says on the tin.

Each episode has depth and ads a lot to the story, you really feel like you are following a person and a family through an entire life. You also feel the agony and the despair, you really feel for Rocco and love him deeply. The female characters are strong and give a feminist perspective without diminishing the male characters. Masterful directing.

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.

Most people probably expected some kind of weird celebration of the most famous italian porn icon... And got exactly the opposite. A 100% serious dramatization of Rocco's life - a very hard one, pun intended. Very well directed and acted (not an easy task at all). Not everything Is faithful to the real events, but Rocco was involved and the important meaning and message is there. Best surprise of this 2024, so far. Ignore the negative review s, most of them (check) come from people simply disliking the subject and watched 1 episode or less (don't understand why they feel entitled to review It, frankly).

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.
