Supersex

Supersex follows the rise of a young man from a modest background who decides to enter the adult film industry and, through a mix of ambition, charisma, and ruthless choices, becomes one of its most recognizable figures. The series traces his early life, the relationships that shape him, and the business behind the cameras, showing how success reshapes desire, reputation, and intimacy without spoiling any major turns. Episodes focus on personal costs as much as professional triumphs, portraying moments of triumph alongside moral ambiguity and strained relationships, keeping the narrative centered on character rather than sensationalism.

Released in 2024, the series is an Italian production inspired by real events and led by Alessandro Borghi in the title role, with Jasmine Trinca and Adriano Giannini among the principal cast. It premiered on television and streaming platforms in multiple territories, emphasizing authentic period detail and a grounded visual style.

As of its release, Supersex has not amassed major awards or high-profile prize wins. Industry response recognized the show in reviews and commentary, especially for its lead performance, but widespread award recognition remained limited in the first season cycle.

The show sparked conversations beyond typical TV critique, prompting debates about how the adult industry is portrayed on screen, questions of consent and exploitation, and the ethics of dramatizing living figures. It rekindled public interest in the real person's legacy and provoked discussions in Italy and abroad about fame, privacy, and the commodification of sex.

Critical reception has been mixed to positive, reflected in a vote average of about 6.7/10 from viewers. Reviewers frequently praised Alessandro Borghi's layered portrayal and the production design, while some critics questioned the series' tonal choices and balance between empathy and critique. Major themes include ambition, sexuality, power dynamics, agency, and the costs that personal fame can impose on relationships and selfhood.
