More fever dream than dating competition, “Sexy Beasts” is the latest reality series from the streamer.
On its surface, “Sexy Beasts” seems pretty straightforward, with those looking for love going out on blind dates.
Now, all of this may seem incredibly silly, or just downright bizarre.
This is why it has an extensive library that includes award-winning films such as “Mank,” steamy TV series like “Bridgerton,” comedy specials like Bo Burnham’s “Inside” and documentaries like “My Octopus Teacher,” which won an Oscar this year.
So Netflix isn’t going for a niche audience, it wants to provide everything for everyone.
The company has already found success in the reality genre thanks to last year’s break-out hit, “Love Is Blind.” The dating show, in which contestants don’t set eyes upon each other until after they get engaged, was a social media sensation before the pandemic.
With nearly 210 million subscribers worldwide, the company is still the king of streaming but rivals like Disney+ are catching up and Netflix’s subscriber growth slowed last quarter.
