What does the press think?
According to point (3.5 out of 5):
“If the Netflix series doesn’t reach the tragic and pathetic dimensions of “Boogie Nights,” it manages to keep you interested thanks to the uncertain fates of some lovable supporting characters..”
According to Recreational television (3 out of 5):
“We wish the series would have gone further and explored his relationship, which is sketched here, with his wife Rosa Tassi, a former Miss Hungary married in 1993..”
According to Parisian (2.5 out of 5):
“We are a bit bored in this melodrama. The scenes of arguments, tears, reunions in Paris cafes follow each other and are similar..”
According to Open the screen (2 of 5):
“A very conventional biopic about Rocco, also mired in the very craft it claims to deconstruct..”
According to the world (2 of 5):
“The childlike naivety that Alessandro Borgh ascribes to the porn star adds to the confusion of a project whose strangeness is not enough to justify its necessity..”
According to Marianna (2 of 5):
“Despite the announced controversy, the Italian series about the life of the porn actor Rocco Siffredi is neither sultry, nor flirtatious, nor particularly sexy. It’s just boring.“
What do viewers think?
Virgin according to Letrang (5 out of 5):
“Very pleasantly surprised by this series. I don’t know how much of Rocco’s real life is true, but either way it’s easy to see. The porn side, of course, is there. Undoubtedly. But not comprehensive and makes this series to say something other than the great career of the actor. In short, it’s worth watching!“
According to Clara Beebe (5 out of 5):
“The series is very easy to watch, the story of Rocco’s life is rich. Obviously there are a lot of race scenes so don’t watch with the family! I really liked his teenage episodes. It is a very good series with interesting stories and which makes this man human.”
According to Paul Poem (3 of 5):
“If the biography of this gentleman was really interesting, this series would be interesting too, because the casting, direction and editing are of good quality. But this mix between a psychological film and an erotic film is ultimately quite boring. Technically nothing to say, very well made and very well played. So let’s not be too harsh, especially given the generally very average production quality…“
According to NinaMyers (2.5 out of 5):
“4 episodes would be enough to tell the life of handsome Rocco, there is always the same dialogues diluted about love, sex, women and does not fly high. But it is worth watching because of the good interpretation. Everything is very feminist, and Poverino Rocco is seen above all as a victim of her… device.“
Supersex is available on Netflix.
