Sexy Beasts on Netflix: What is the concept?

The show originally had a short-lived run on BBC Three.

However, the success of The Masked Singer has renewed interest in the concept. As a result, Netflix has decided to bring it back.

The format of the show is designed to make people choose personality over looks.

Netflix has invited a selection of single men and women to go on dates with each other while dressed in elaborate disguises supplied by Hollywood makeup artists.

They are only allowed to see what each other looks like when they are deemed compatible.

It follows a similar concept to Netflix’s other big dating hit, Love is Blind.

Around 50 participants from both the UK and US were selected to be involved in Sexy Beasts.

“This almost makes me want to cancel my subscription,” joked one fan.

“Everyone involved with this show needs to be arrested!” teased another.

“Is this fur-real?” laughed a third.

Another quipped: “This looks horrific I’m going to watch it five times.”

Meanwhile, others felt that the show appears to lack body diversity.

“All those people are thin and attractive underneath the costumes so the ‘based on personality alone’ thing is a bit of a stretch,” questioned one viewer.
