Netflix Rebooting Startling A&E Show, and the Internet Is in Disbelief
07/15/2021 02:08 am EDT
Furry
First and foremost, many viewers compared the concept of this show to various forms of the "furry" fetish. They speculated that the participants must be at least a little interested in animal roleplay to get involved in such a show.
Predictions
Even as they mocked it, viewers admitted they would be watching this show, and predicted that others would too. Most seemed to agree that this would be an easy hit for Netflix.
Surreal
The trailer was simply so shocking to some viewers that they were left to question reality itself. Many wondered if they were really seeing what they thought they were seeing.
Beastarz
Fans couldn't help comparing this to the Netflix original series Beastarz — an animated action show that is also popular among self-described furries.
Attractive
While the prosthetics might completely obscure a contestant's face, some viewers complained that it still left their body type in perfect view, so going strictly off of "personality" was not quite an option.
Cancellations
Of course, fans of other Netflix original series that had been canceled couldn't help feeling bitter to see money going towards this instead of their favorite show. Some went even further, imagining how writers must feel after getting pitches rejected only to see shows like this picked up.
Pitch Process
On a related note, some wondered how Sexy Beasts itself got pitched. They were more interested in seeing that pitch meeting than the show itself.
