Too Hot to Handle: Netflix viewers are loving 'truly wild' dating game show

Netflix has unveiled a brand new dating game show it’s hoping will be as successful as Love is Blind.

Months after that show took over social media, the streaming service has dropped Too Hot to Handle, which it has described as “our next truly wild dating experiment”.

The reality series focuses on 10 single people who are placed on an island in the hope of finding love – those who are successful can win up to $100,000.

However, the contestants are told that if they engage in any “romantic or sensual” contact, the prize money will decrease.

The new series consists of eight episodes, and features people from the US, UK, Canada and Ireland.

Hours after being added to Netflix, the show is being binged by viewers who have been sharing their verdicts.

“Five minutes into Too Hot to Handle and this is EXACTLY what i needed,” one wrote, with another adding: “Yes, I did just stay up all night watching Too Hot To Handle. Yes, it is amazing.”

One viewer said they were watching the show considering they were “missing” Love Island, while another’s candid verdict read: “Too Hot to Handle on Netflix is such s**t TV, but I’m obsessed.”

Too Hot to Handle is available to stream on Netflix now.
