The streaming giant, Netflix, is the main avenue most of us tune into when looking for entertainment in today’s world of being shut-in. And to their credit, Netflix has been loading up their site with the material, new and old, original and non-original Netflix shows for your viewing pleasure.
So we’re taking a look at what Netflix has added to their lineup over the past month. This will cover Netflix’s original shows (not movies) in hopes you’ll find more than a few things on this list to get you through tough days of isolation. These are the best new shows on Netflix right now.
365 Dni | Trending On Netflix
One of the most talked about shows on Netflix recently has been the Polish erotic drama 365 Dni. It’s been compared to 50 Shades of Grey and it contains a number of extremely graphic sex scenes. So graphic in fact, that some people have begun to in fact the movie shows actual, real sexual intercourse and not simulated, in the way Hollywood movies usually do it.
Netflix has been deluged with messages from viewers like this…
However, the people who made the movie continue to claim they are all fake. Talking to Variety 365 Dni’s director of photography Bartek Cierlica had this to say: “Each sex scene in this movie is different. The relationship evolves. It starts with fear of the unknown and temptation. It evolves through pure sex with BDSM and ends with love. The main idea was to create the rising tension between the two heroes starting from their first meeting. We wanted the viewer to participate in playing the game that Laura tries to play with Massimo and discover her sexuality and sensuality with her.”
Ok that actually makes it sound even more like they were real. Then Cierlica added this: “We wanted the camera to be as much invisible as possible, to let them act, so indeed the takes were very, very long. We created the most intimate atmosphere we could for the actors. We reduced the on-set crew to an absolute minimum. As it was handheld I was following their action, and trying to show their passion in a natural but beautiful way. We wanted this sex to be pretty authentic. We wanted the viewer to hear their whispers, heavy breaths and we wanted to show the sweat, passion. Be natural, authentic, but not to cross the border of pornography.”
And that makes it sound like they kicked everyone off the set so they could have plausible deniability while they shot real sex. Other than saying they did not want to “cross the border of pornography” Cierlica hasn’t done much to dissolve the notion that the Netflix movie shows real sex.
