We’ve got good news for you if you’re still having withdrawals from Love Island.
Netflix has renewed the surprise smash hit show Too Hot To Handle for a second season.
The reality dating show was the number one most-watched show on Netflix during its first week when it launched last year.
The show turns the typical dating show rules upside down…. you win by not getting it on.
Sounds easy, right?
However, Netflix like to make things fiendishly difficult for the contestants. These aren’t just your Average Joe’s taking part, oh no. They make the beautiful Love Island lot look like the “before” picture in a makeover.
Virtual assistant Lana is the host. She tells them about the conditions: ‘No kissing, or sex of any kind.’
What happens if the contestants can’t cope?
Every time they break the rules and engage in any sexual activity, money is deducted from the total prize money sum. Ouch.
Last time, 10 of the contestants split $75,000 of the remaining prize money.
Critical Reception
John Serba is a critic at Decider and he advised viewers to give it a miss. He calls it ‘a mashup of Temptation Island, Love Island, The Contest episode of Seinfeld and The Peter Griffin Sideboob Hour’. Some people would like that, to be honest.
He stuck the knife in further, writing: ‘To call it tawdry is to engage in nuclear understatement’. What was he expecting, Shakespeare?
Serba insisted it is ‘some of the dreckiest dreck ever drecked’.
Quite.
Are you excited about a second season or do you just want Love Island back?
