00:04 One of the UK's most infamous dating shows has been causing quite the stir overseas after being
00:10 quietly added to the max streaming service. The streamer added six seasons of Naked Attraction,
00:15 a game show which debuted in 2016. In each episode, a single chooser critiques and eliminates six
00:21 potential dates standing on a stage by scrutinizing their fully nude bodies, which are gradually
00:26 revealed one part at a time with faces revealed last. U.S. viewers are just starting to stumble
00:32 upon this series, which was released without a trailer or media fanfare, and let's just say the
00:37 reactions were priceless. One viewer wrote, "This is the craziest s--- I ever watched on TV."
00:42 And another, "There is something so cringe about watching the body language of a naked man who has
00:47 been rejected." Conservative group The Parents Television Council slammed the streamer for
00:51 adding the show. Naked Attraction should not exist on the max streaming platform and HBO should
00:57 immediately remove this exploitative pornographic program. But others have defended the series,
01:02 noting the diversity of the show and how the media "has conditioned us to see bodies in a
01:07 certain unrelatable way, usually too perfect/airbrushed." For more on this story, head
