Hello. I don't even know how to prepare y'all for this, so I'm just going to dive right in. Netflix has a new dating show they're describing as Love Is Blind meets The Masked Singer.
It's called Sexy Beasts, and it involves guests wearing extreme prosthetics to truly test chemistry between two people without ever seeing their faces.
No, you're not hallucinating. SEXY BEASTS is a new dating show that uses cutting edge prosthetics to put true blind-date chemistry to the test. On Netflix, 21 July.
It's narrated by Rob Delaney, for some reason.
Just based on the trailer alone, we see a panda, a bull...
Some sort of bug, a gopher...
A devil, a dog...
And...whatever is going on here.
Contestants do normal date stuff, like going to an amusement park...
Uh...shooting guns?
Even kissing and horn-nuzzling!
They then choose between three contenders...
...And then finally see each other in person.
It looks like a wild ride, and people on Twitter were pretty....uh....well, just see for yourselves.

Some wondered if they were on drugs.
@netflix Am I on drugs
Although many were intrigued!
@NetflixUK this looks horrific I’m going to watch it 5 times
Some people pointed out that England did it first.
@NetflixUK Say you’re copying our homework, without saying you’re copying our homework.
But, you know, I don't know if that makes it okay.
@NetflixUK
There was also some criticism over the fact that, like many dating shows, the people all seem to be thin and conventionally attractive.
@netflix All those people are thin and attractive underneath of the costumes so the “based on personality alone” thing is a bit of a stretch.
Anyhoo, that's that. Two seasons have been greenlit, and Season 1 premieres on July 21 on Netflix. Prepare yourselves.
