A horror-themed miniseries on Netflix is suddenly getting a lot of buzz online, as people post their shocked reactions after watching it.Even though it’s been on the platform for a while, it’s recently picked up steam and caught the attention of new viewers.
What’s really stirring conversation is one particular sex scene that people are calling downright disturbing.
The Netflix series is gaining viral attention due to one ‘disturbing’ scene.Netflix
One viewer didn’t hold back, saying: “I felt physically sick watching this scene.”Someone else agreed and added: “That scene was insane! Please, someone, erase it from my head.”
“This is one of the most gross scenes in TV history, I don’t ever want to be reminded of it,” a third person chimed in.
While that one graphic scene has left many feeling uneasy, critics have pointed out that the show still has a lot to offer.As Caroline Framke wrote in Variety: “A dark and twisty series that delights in getting truly gross, Netflix’s newest tells a scattered tale of vengeance and ownership that’s lucky to have a stellar performance at its center.”
Daniel Kurland, writing for Bloody Disgusting, also praised the visual style and themes, saying: “It contains wild visuals that unravel in a slow Rube Goldberg-like nature that shows that revenge takes time. It’s a neon-soaked, nightmare-fueled exploration of identity, sexuality, and the artificial constructs that perpetuate their exploitation,”
