As a gamer who has spent countless hours racing virtual cars and binge-watching Formula One documentaries, I can wholeheartedly say that Netflix’s Senna is a must-watch for any racing enthusiast. The six-episode miniseries provides an exhilarating and emotional journey through the life of Ayrton Senna, one of the greatest racing legends of all time.
In terms of limited series, Netflix boasts some of the finest and most-watched productions. In 2024 alone, Netflix enjoyed massive successes with shows such as “Fool Me Once,” “One Day,” “Ripley,” “Baby Reindeer,” “The Perfect Couple,” and many more. However, the streaming platform saved two more limited series for the end of the year, premiering them during the Thanksgiving holiday season, one of which was titled “Senna“.
In a biographical drama mini-series titled Gabriel Leone plays Ayrton Senna, the renowned Brazilian Formula One racer whose career took off before his untimely demise in 1994. This six-part series chronicles Senna’s life and achievements, offering an uplifting and emotional viewing experience that combines heart-pounding racing scenes with intimate glimpses into the man’s profound influence.
Here’s how Netflix describes the series in the official synopsis:
Over the course of six episodes, Senna will, for the first time, depict the journey of overcoming obstacles, ups and downs, joys, and sorrows of Ayrton, exploring his personality and personal relationships. The starting point will be the beginning of the three-time Formula 1 champion’s racing career when he moved to England to compete in Formula Ford, all the way to the tragic accident in Imola, Italy, during the San Marino Grand Prix.
If you have young racing enthusiasts at home who might be interested in the miniseries, you may be wondering if there are any scenes or sequences unsuitable for children in Senna. Here, we provide a detailed overview of what to anticipate from the series and clarify the content that led to its TV-MA rating. However, rest assured, no spoilers will be revealed!
Senna rated TV-MA for language, sex, and nudity
According to its page on Netflix, the show “Senna” carries a TV-MA rating due to explicit language, nudity, sexual content, and smoking scenes. This means it is intended for mature audiences, and while Netflix doesn’t advise parental guidance, younger viewers may not find much enjoyment beyond the racing portions of the series.

Sex and nudity
In this racing-centric series, romantic elements take a backseat, but Ayrton does have some love interests portrayed. The show contains a couple of intimate scenes between male and female characters scattered across various episodes. One such scene includes partial female nudity, though most of it is blurred by shadows, avoiding explicit close-ups under bright light.
In another private moment, we see a man and a woman dancing intimately before retiring to their room for an intimate encounter. This scene includes nudity, specifically Gabriel Leone’s backside, which is displayed in a broad shot. The scene is brief and doesn’t dwell excessively on the sexual act. These are the most notable instances of sensuality throughout the series.
Language and violence
In the Brazilian show, many scenes are in English, but most of the characters in Senna primarily converse in Portuguese. While this is usually fine, some complex language used in Portuguese may be hard for young English speakers to understand.
In terms of violent imagery, certain sequences might be distressing to some audience members. The show recreates the fatal accident involving Ayrton Senna, handling it with due respect. Although the crash scene isn’t presented in gruesome detail nor does it show his body, fragments from his vehicle are depicted flying through the air.
Watch Senna only on Netflix.
