How did Netflix come up with the ultimate pandemic dating show?

Too Hot to Handle

Forget Love Island and Love is Blind. Too Hot to Handle, where the contestants are unable to contact, could be the most important dating series yet. 

I wonder what we think Netflix doesn't. Do they know what Area 51 has to offer? What is in a black hole's centre? How does human brain function? If so did the Ingrams? What I am curious about right now is how they thought this pandemic would happen. And how they had to think months ahead of time. And why else did they launch a sexy dating series that exactly mirrors what millions of us are experiencing? Dating without physical touch, and having to pay a fee if you're caught trying to?

The cast of "Too Hot to Handle" blinds in just the way you would expect from a series that throws together hot singles on a desert island with nothing but tiny bathing suits and flowing alcohol to entertain them. We are taut and gleaming, sporting chiseled pecs and perfect false eyelashes, the better to draw one another in. Yeah, the sports cars are shiny, terribly impractical, yet perversely alluring, revived and raging to go. But "Too Heavy to Handle" comes with a twist, in keeping with Netflix's unique style of addictive reality programming. None of them are allowed to do some kind of "personal touch" — not to each other and not even to themselves — without a literal fine from a $100k cash pot collective
