Netflix's 'Sexy Beasts' Trailer: The Best (and Most Horrified) Reactions
"I like your fin."

If you love love, chaos, and the undeniably sexy energy that was Cats, then boy does Netflix U.K. have a dating show for you. The streamer announced Wednesday its latest foray into dating shows, Sexy Beasts, which questions: What if my nightmares and the Discovery Channel mated for public entertainment?
The concept (which shockingly isn't original—BCC Three and A&E have both done versions of this show in 2014 and 2015, respectively) asks attractive singles to don professional prosthetics while dating to force them to focus on personality over the fresh hell that is their dating partner's anthropomorphic faces.
Just watch the trailer. But first, hide your pets and phone your therapist.
It all screams The Masked Singer and Love Is Blind (remember when we thought that was wild?) but with the unhinged nature of our post-vax world. It's a hot furry summer, indeed.
A scene from my nightmares and your new favorite Netflix dating show.
See Twitter's best reactions to Sexy Beasts and catch the show starting July 21.

between this and love is blind and the circle, reality shows have become obsessed with the question “what would happen if people could talk but not see each other IRL,” a question people answer every day by using the internet https://t.co/hLvZkFeuZvJune 23, 2021
the masked singer and sexy beasts are the two polar opposite outcomes of pitching "aha what if people were dressed up as animals? haha just something i thought was funny" to tv peopleJune 23, 2021
