"I try to be a sophisticated TV viewer. I watch as many miniseries as I can, keep up to date with the latest in Prestige TV, and make sure I don't miss out on any sleeper hits. However, I'm also self-actualized enough to admit that I love my fair share of slop. I religiously watch RuPaul's Drag Race, 90 Day Fiancé, and whatever weird reality craze has grasped pop culture."
"The Beauty follows the formulation of an experimental new shot that forces you through a painful transformation. You get really hot, feverish, have an insatiable need for water, but after all is said and done, you're really, really attractive. Except when you explode. At the center of the rollout is the mysterious CEO credited as "The Corporation" (Ashton Kutcher), who sees the shot as a way for humankind to achieve godliness, much to his (unmedicated) wife Franny's (Isabella Rossellini) chagrin."
