I generally always limit myself to voting, without spending too much time on reviews and so on. Nevertheless, it may be somewhat due to my strong Italian patriotic feeling, but I have to say two words about this work

I would start by saying that the title, at first glance, is misleading. I admit that I started the viewing without too many expectations, perhaps even finding myself in front of an erotic comedy. What can I say? I was 200% wrong. Rather, I found myself watching a very dramatic, profound series, highlighting the family dramas of the porn star who literally changed the porn world, bringing, in his own way, Italy to the top. Certainly, Alessandro Borghi plays his part and does it really well. I am only sorry that the whole thing ended in 2004, when well, I would have liked it to have come to the present day.

8.5 well deserved.

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).

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.

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!

Don't get fooled by the title and the premise.

This is a deep drama series.

Yes, there are some sex scenes, but they are never self serving, but have meaning.

You won't see the "making of" porn movies, but you get a character drama played extremely well by very talented actors.

I am pretty sure that this movie has put the industry in a too generous light, even if you actually get a little taste, how it is in the inside in reality.

I enjoyed the series very much and I can only recommend it.

Apparently some people, who wrote reviews here didn't really understand what it is all about, like the writer whose review is on the main page with the title of "Highly romanticised sleazy life":

If that guy thought, this movie is an "advertising" for sleazy lifestyle and tries to romanticize how porn actors are rich people competing on the same level with Hollywood stars, then he saw a different movie or he just have no clue about anything in life.

If you like drama, watch it. If you want to watch porn, go to pornhub.
