Sick Netflix fans have threatened to cancel their subscriptions after watching an explicit clip from new drama Supersex, based on the life of famous Italian adult star Rocco Siffredi.

Furious Netflix fans have threatened to ‘cancel their subscriptions’ after watching an explicit clip from a new X-rated drama.

Supersex is loosely based on the life of Rocco Tano, a simple guy from Ortona, Italy, who becomes Rocco Siffredi, the most famous porn star in the world.

The seven-part series stars Alessandro Borghi as Siffredi, whose humble beginnings are revisited as the plot navigates his extraordinary career as one of the most prolific adult actors of all time.

Since his debut in 1986, Rocco Siffredi has starred in more than 1,500 X-rated films and is believed to have slept with more than 5,000 people.

The drama has been rated by Netflix strictly for viewers aged 18 and over – but that hasn’t stopped fans from sharing their disgust at the ‘inappropriate’ content released by the steamy giant.

The steamy, seconds-long scene was posted by Netflix on its US Instagram page on March 7 before it was mysteriously deleted.

The short video featured the star of the show, Italian actor Alessandro Borghi, arguing and bumping into several scantily clad women.

But the clip disappeared from Netflix’s US Instagram account after a few hours, though it’s unclear if the platform deleted it due to complaints from users or if Netflix chose to remove it due to negative feedback from fans.

A number of Netflix users shared their disgust at the subject of the controversial new series, while others threatened to cancel their subscriptions altogether to protect their children.

Taking to the comments below the now-deleted video, one person quipped: ‘Now we have porn on Netflix too? Canceling account as we speak, my kids can’t see this.’

Another parent wrote: ‘Isn’t this inappropriate for a platform where KIDS FOLLOW YOU?!’

Other users were left appalled that the explicit content was being ‘normalised’, with one person commenting: ‘Are we just making porn mainstream now? It’s pretty sick that there’s no warning about explicit content like this.

“Yet women who post a picture when they are breastfeeding are flagged. This should be a separate category on Netflix if you want to put something like this out.’

Another wrote: ‘It’s really sad that this is accepted in modern culture. The hyper-sexualization of our society and generation is depressing and demeaning to the value of both sexes.’

Meanwhile, fans who watched the official trailer on Netflix’s YouTube channel shared their thoughts on the explicit series, with one person writing: ‘I’m not sure I like the direction Netflix is ​​going.’

Another fan commented: ‘What is happening to Netflix. Bring back the good stuff.’

Francesca Manieri, the filmmaker behind the series, told Independent: ‘My goal was to put men before themselves.

‘This is what we call the phallocentric system, the system where d*** is the center of thought before everything else.’

She added: ‘So what can you do right now, (in) 2024, to understand the relationship between men and women? And how can men put themselves in front of the image of their symbolic d*** and try to deconstruct all this?’

It comes after Netflix viewers were previously disturbed by the streaming site’s alien docu-series Raël: The Alien Prophet in February.

The four-part documentary covers the life of Claude Vorilhon – a French journalist who promised ‘out of this world’ ecstasy and enlightenment to anyone who followed the teachings he claimed to have learned through his alleged alien abduction in 1973.
