As a viewer, the big reveals were good fun, even as we, unlike the participants, were disappointed.
-
We’re really just recommending Sexy Beasts for Rob Delaney’s narration. The rest of the show is just weird at times, creepy at others.
-
At times it’s like watching single-cell organisms trying to make conversation. ... “Sexy Beasts” is interesting, nonetheless, with little moments of revelation mixed in with the silliness.
-
Attention to detail doesn’t extend past the makeup, as the show is neither subversive nor insightful. The predictability of the final choices even takes the mindless fun out of it.
-
The brief episodes are so relentless in terms of establishing the situation, explaining the format, setting up a panoply of individual dates, and providing endless and witless editorial comment, that little sparkles through the spackle. And the makeup applied to the competitors lacks the verve and oddity of the costuming on “The Masked Singer.” It’s all technically perfect — transforming young and eligible people into zombies, trolls, beavers, and dolphins. But this seamlessness leaves little room for personality.
