'Sexy Beasts' dresses up 'The Dating Game' in 'The Masked Singer's' makeup
CNN
Dating shows keep getting weirder, but the basic formula remains remarkably faithful to the early days of television. So on the heels of Netflix's "Love is Blind" (which returns next week) and in advance of HBO Max's "FBoy Island" comes "Sexy Beasts," which weds the hidden-face conceit of "The Masked Singer" to "The Dating Game," yielding predictably ridiculous results.
In every episode, a participant in heavy prosthetic makeup is presented with three potential matches, each similarly adorned in different guises. The idea is for the chooser to get to know the candidates without being unduly influenced by looks (Netflix really likes this construct), before the big reveal when he or she and the audience gets to see what the bachelors/bachelorettes actually look like. Like other Netflix dating entries, this British-originated show also features a cheeky narrator offering wry asides. When one of the not-selected contenders is presented without the makeup, the disembodied voice asks, "Is this face hot enough to make Emma regret her decision?"
