“I watched the series with the whole family, even my grandparents were there.
I sat with the remote on high alert to fast-forward intimate scenes.
We just made it, "said Phoebe Dynevor, who plays the sexually awakening Daphne in the Netflix hit series" Bridgerton ", opposite the" Daily Star ".
Nicola Coughlan, who embodies Penelope Featherington, as she revealed in the podcast "Make it Reign" with Josh Smith, handled it similarly.
She was particularly nervous about episode six, which "only consists of non-stop birds' eggs".
Good for those who know which sex scene to expect and when - to quickly press the fast forward button on the remote control or at least to distract them for a short time.
After all, who hasn't had the unpleasant experience of watching TV with their parents or children and being surprised by bodies suddenly copulating in a film or series.
This experience should be high on an embarrassment scale - with parents and children, even if they are already adults.
Fast forward is only one solution, surprised parents like to change the channel abruptly (some kind of tame nature documentary is always on), tactically distracted (for example with an urgent order to get sweets from the kitchen) or the child simply put a hand in front of them Eyes held.
All of them are techniques that no longer work with the beginning of the teenage phase without a certain degree of irritation on the part of the offspring.
It remains embarrassing - no matter what age

Well, parents of adolescent children might think, let's just book it as part of the education - that is neglected in many families anyway.
This may work with so-called hidden flower sex, but orgies - like in episode five of "Bridgerton" - then make it difficult for them to explain.
The problem: Many of the current productions convey the appearance of a typical youth series, but then come up with quite violent scenes - such as the ballet thriller "Your last solo", where everyone ends up in the box with everyone, with sex here dealt with no less unrestrained than violence.
It is similar in the historical drama “Reign” that revolves around the young Mary Stewart at the French court, there are sometimes deaths to complain about after lustful desire.
Sure, all of these series are FSK 16 - but age doesn't make things any better, as British author Hannah-Rose Yee aptly describes the “Bridgerton” television experience with her parents: “My mother snorted and laughed ... my father coughed discreet.
It was uncomfortable.
Very uncomfortable.
Call me a prude, but my idea of a great evening doesn't include sitting with my dad while we watch a woman enthusiastically receive oral sex in a library. "
Netflix debate and alternatives:
In order not to have to sit on the couch with their parents or children coughing ashamed, giggling or huddled with a pillow in front of their reddening face during the next series marathon, the British website OnBuy asked 3255 series fans to vote which production they find too uncomfortable for them to look into family.
