Synopsis / Plot: TV Series (2020). 4 Episodes. A woman's life working in the adult film industry spans from its seedy beginnings to a highly successful enterprise. A leading British porn star (Hayley Squires) juggles glamour on-camera and the reality of motherhood at home. But the internet has created a porn revolution and producers like an old friend and colleague (Rupert Everett) are forced to push boundaries further than ever before in search of the erotic, the bizarre, the funny, the disturbing, and above all, the new.

“Adult Material” will stream on HBO Max from December 2020.

Critics' reviews

"While some of 'Adult Material' may be tough to (ahem) swallow, it’s got a big heart and a lot to say"

Jade Budowski: Decider
"[It] holds all the light and dark elements of a complicated premise in balance, and even finds room for some laughs (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Lucy Mangan: The Guardian
"[It] raises big questions about sex, consent and power - and will have you both laughing and crying (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Flora Carr: Radio Times
"Hayley Squires gives a career-making performance in this unsettling – but sometimes funny – new series (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Ed Cumming: The Independent
"The porn industry is worthy of dissection but this series is more horror than comedy (...) Shocking and indigestible"

Ed Power: Irish Times
"Jolene (an excellent performance from Hayley Squires) has power and agency (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Anita Singh: Telegraph
