The Beauty
Created by Matthew Hodgson, Ryan Murphy
The world of high fashion turns dark when international supermodels begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways. FBI Agents Cooper Madsen and Jordan Bennett are sent to Paris to uncover the truth. As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into visions of physical perfection, but with terrifying consequences. From TMDB

What people are saying
A written summary appears once the title has a score.
Critics, per Wikipedia
On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds an approval rating of 68% based on 66 reviews. On Metacritic, the season has a weighted average score of 64 out of 100 based on 33 critics, which the site categorizes as "generally favorable" reviews. Some reviewers drew unfavorable comparisons to Coralie Fargeat's 2024 film The Substance, which had explored similar themes of body horror and beauty culture the prior year. Writing for IndieWire, Ben Travers described the series as a "misshapen mess" and a "feeble spin" on The Substance. The review on RogerEbert.com argued the series had "so much style and very little substance" and did not go sufficiently deep into its central ideas. Tech Advisor…

negative · AI labelView post →The Beauty is a TV series that has its origins as a comic. The body horror series stars Evan Peters & Rebecca Hall as FBI agents. Cooper utters his theory, " that everything we do, from the minute we hit puberty to the second we die, is about sex." Is perfection attainable? #TVSky #TheBeauty #Comic

neutral · AI labelView post →I defend MGS4 for a lot of stuff, even the Beauty & The Beast Unit to a degree (definitely the weakest 'bad guy squad' in the entire series) but Johnny and Meryl's love plot really is pathetically bad. The thing about MGS4 is that most people are right in their gripes but it's still a masterpiece

(Note: This is not asking for general recommendations. We have specific needs in that shows MUST come with JP subtitles. Most don't.)

neutral · AI labelView post →I thought The Beauty was fantastic. I liked the comic series and they adapted it pretty well for the most part. Sad that the stunt casting got in the way of a second season, cause all of the big actors were released from their contracts to work on other projects.
positive · AI labelView post →Not just The Substance revisited & revised as what if..? by biotech biz (Cronenberg & son?), TV series The BEAUTY is long on generic gloss: Seconds (1966!), Species franchise, Iron Man 3, + X-Files extra-gory F/X. Amoral billionaires prompt total betrayal of humanity with pop-video decadence, etc.

neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, The Beauty (TV series) is so intense. This is the most intense body horror I know of. This whole show is so stressful in so many different ways. Super hardcore cringe, super hardcore disgust, super hardcore suspense... It's so extreme, I can't believe it was on FX. This would destroy a child's life if the saw it. It's psychologically disgusting too, like these really sick people. #thebeauty #horror #TV
positive · AI labelView post →When I was back home I watched the first half of #TheBeauty, a show that looks gorgeous but lacks depth (a little like the idea of the subject matter) and while I have no interest in watching more, I was interested to see how it ended. And it seems to have ended incoherently!
