British viewers all have the same complaint after 'fully erect' penis shown in Netflix drama

Viewers couldn't ignore the unexpected revelation

Netflix has come under fire after a scene in its latest drama left very little to the imagination. And everyone is saying the same thing.

In what is believed to be a first for a mainstream series on British TV, a character revealed their fully erect penis.

And people aren't impressed, with everyone from Gogglebox stars to MPs weighing in on the on-screen boner.

The synopsis for Netflix's A Man in Full - an adaptation of Tom Wolfe's 1998 satirical novel - reads: "Facing relentless foes and sudden bankruptcy, an Atlanta real estate tycoon must claw his way back to the top when his empire begins to crumble."

In the final episode of the six-part series, actor Tom Pelphrey's character - Raymond Peepgrass - takes some Viagra. He then drops his bedsheet in front of real estate mogul Charlie Croker (played by Jeff Daniels) to reveal something viewers simply couldn't ignore.

The scene, which Tory MP Alexander Stafford has dubbed 'low-grade porn,' left viewers in shock and they are not impressed by the lack of warning they were given beforehand.

While the show does feature a general warning for 'sex, language, sex reference, sexual images, injury detail,' it fails to warn viewers about the scene's graphic nudity, which many feel was unnecessary and a ploy to 'seek attention.'

In reviews on Google, one viewer wrote: "One of the most ridiculous endings to any series I've ever watched. Nudity has a place in film but in this case it really misses the mark."

Another said: "Had potential. The trial case was interesting, but the main character just fizzled out as if the budget had run out and the director said 'stop there.'

"A big erect willy seemed to desperately seek attention. Disappointing."

And a third noted that while the cast are 'gifted,' the content is 'truly filthy.'

"It's so unnecessarily vile that it distracts from what could possibly turn out to be a decent capture of the book. I'm no delicate flower, but no thanks. I'm out."

The controversial scene also highlighted pre-existing concerns about the regulation of streaming services, particularly regarding putting children at risk.

Tory MP Sara Britcliffe said: "Streaming services are available at any time of day, so watershed protection doesn't apply."

And Safe Schools Alliance's Tanya Carter added: "Yet again we are questioning why the Government is failing to act on this multi-fronted assault on childhood."

Netflix has already been under fire recently for failing to protect the identity of a stalker who inspired the story behind drama Baby Reindeer.

Fans were quick to find Fiona Harvey - the real-life person who inspired the character of Martha - forcing the streaming platform to respond to questions about the show in a parliamentary hearing.

During an inquiry on 8 May, policy chief Benjamin King told Parliament that they took 'every reasonable precaution in disguising the real-life identities of the people involved in that story.'

He went on to say: "We didn’t want to anonymise [the authenticity of Gadd’s story] or make it generic to the point where it was no longer his story.

"Ultimately, it’s obviously very difficult to control what viewers do, particularly in a world where everything is amplified by social media."
