Supersex revels in layering these themes in the most seductive ways possible. I soon found myself, like Noemi, happily at the show’s mercy. After plowing through the first two episodes, I was desperate for more. I have a hunch Netflix fans will be, too. Supersex manages to weave together smut and art in intoxicating measure.
Though Rocco’s story is solidly depicted, audiences hoping for a bio-series-type narrative won’t find it here. It’s also worth noting that Netflix offers a dubbed English version, but the show is best viewed in Italian with subtitles.
It’s a more ambitious venture than its subject might initially suggest—even if it does deliver the NSFW goods on enough occasions to avoid feeling like a bait-and-switch.
