But many viewers in Britain have been shocked by an extremely graphic scene in the final episode, which comes with no prior warning! The Daily Mail reports that it is likely the first time a mainstream drama has featured an erect penis, breaking the last TV taboo.
In the shocking scene Tom Pelphrey’s character Raymond Peepgrass drops his bedsheet after taking a viagra pill and reveals himself to star Jeff Daniels. Despite the rating and the gritty nature of the drama, it is a moment that has taken many viewers by surprise.
Tory MP Alexander Stafford said: “If Netflix is serving up this sort of low-grade, pornographic rubbish, we need to give Ofcom full oversight of the streaming giant's output as soon as possible.”

“Viewers shouldn't be forced to see pornography. This trend will end in tears as it's depressing, unmysterious and taking away some of life's magic.”
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.”
