Netflix reportedly faced criticism after American viewers were shown a totally erected penis in the final episode of the streaming bear’s new six-part drama series, A Man In Full.
In the version of Tom Wolfe’s best-selling eponymous book, actor Tom Pelphrey’s Raymond Peepgrass revealed his pillowcase to co-star Jeff Daniels ‘ Charlie Croker.
While the U. K. now has a full- front skinny dating show, this special scene in , A Man In Full is , believed to be the first time a , mainstream drama on American television has displayed an “erect penis” on screen,  , reports noted.
Also, while the present warned there would be” intercourse, language, sexual reference, erotic images, injury detail”, there was no disclaimer warning viewers of upcoming creative nudity, leaving viewers shocked and dismayed.
Author and The Spectator columnist Mary Killen reportedly said,” I do n’t want to watch graphic sexual images while watching a drama.” ” We are already doing very little, and it is reducing us to no better than farm creatures,” the statement read.
” Viewers should n’t be forced to see pornography” , , Killen added. ” This trend may end in tears as it’s sad, unmysterious and taking away some of life’s magic”.
Novelist and writer , Anne Atkins even chimed in, asking Radio 4’s Thought for the Day,” Where are the restrictions then, Netflix”?
” A visibly erect penis is not only revolting to many normal viewers but artistically completely unnecessary: a glance down, a raised eyebrow would have done far more” , , Atkins added.
Alexander Stafford,  , a Tory , part of the U. K. ‘s , Parliament, reacted, saying,” If Netflix is serving up this sort of reduced- grade, sexual rubbish, we need to provide Ofcom complete oversight of the streaming giant’s output as soon as possible”.
Ofcom refers to the Office of , Communications, a government agency regulating broadcasting, telecommunications, and postal industries in the United Kingdom.
” Streaming services are available at any time of day, so watershed protection does n’t apply”, fellow Tory MP Sara Britcliffe added.
According to Daily Mail, sex and nudity scenes must occur after the watershed and not be accessible to children, according to Ofcom’s Broadcasting Code.
We are once more questioned by Safe Schools Alliance’s Tanya Carter, who questioned why the government was not taking action on this multi-fronted assault on children.
The U. K. government is reportedly mulling over new legislation that would fine streamers operating in the United Kingdom up to , £250, 000 ($ 311, 862 ) or face restrictions if they are caught breaking the rules.
Meanwhile, Netflix is currently under fire for another show on its platform.
As Breitbart News reported,  , Fiona Harvey — the woman who is alleged to have inspired the stalker” Martha” character in the streaming giant’s hit,  , Baby Reindeer , — says she will , sue both , Netflix and the show’s creator and star, Richard Gadd, claiming the depictions in the series, which bills itself as a true story, are” a work of , fiction”.
