Where to Watch The Naked Director in the US

The Naked Director makes every episode count, and right now it's all streaming on Netflix and beyond. A strong pick for any comedy fan.

Originally commissioned by Netflix, The Naked Director quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. Follows the rise of Tooru Muranishi, one of Japan's most notorious directors of adult video. Adapted from a biography of the man, this series depicts the character, his art, vision and his interactions with the approving and disapproving folk around him. The series ran for 2 seasons (2019–2021), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, The Naked Director is a strong candidate — fans of Tourist will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
