"a sense of what it's doing and where it's going and whisper it even a touch of commentary on the state of society today. It's almost like old American anthology days, when Murphy threw the likes of The People v OJ Simpson, Feud and The Assassination of Gianni Versace at us one after the other; leasing new lives to Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange and assorted other glorious figures, and having us believe the good times would roll for ever."
"The new, 11-part series belongs firmly to the genre of body horror, so be prepared for plenty of gore and more than a few yikes! as we go along. It is based on the comic book of the same name, written by Jeremy Haun and Jason A Hurley, and follows two FBI agents as they investigate the spread of a sexually transmitted disease that makes infected parties spectacularly beautiful before it makes them spectacularly dead."
The Beauty is an 11-part body-horror series about two FBI agents investigating a sexually transmitted disease that makes infected people extraordinarily beautiful before killing them. The series combines gore with social satire targeting unrealistic beauty standards and contemporary trends such as Ozempic culture. The narrative delivers plot, structure, and characters who behave plausibly and convey occasional social commentary. The show evokes the tones of American anthology true-crime dramas and features high-profile performances and cinematic flair. The opening sequence centers on a supermodel's violent breakdown at a catwalk, signaling a global epidemic of exploding supermodels and tabloid frenzy.
