The Beauty: A Fashionable Horror That's Taking Over Streaming
A Unique Blend of Fashion, Horror, and Sci-Fi
The Beauty, a new show on Disney Plus, is making waves. It's now the most-watched series on the platform. This show blends fashion, horror, and science fiction. It's based on a comic book series. The show's success shows that comic book adaptations can be hit even if they're not from Marvel or DC. Shows like The Walking Dead and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have also done well.
A Dark Look at the Fashion Industry
The Beauty is about the dark side of the fashion industry. It starts with a strange trend that catches the attention of the police. Supermodels begin dying in shocking ways. The FBI sends agents Cooper Madsen and Jordan Bennett to Paris to investigate. They find a virus that changes people's appearances to what they think is beautiful.
Differences Between the Show and the Comics
The show is different from the comic books it's based on. The transformations in the show are more violent. The models suffer from fever, pain, and contortions. In the comics, they just wake up changed. The characters' names are also different. The models in the show become completely different people. In the comics, they just become more attractive versions of themselves.
A Quick Rise to the Top
The show has only been out for a few days. But it's already the most-watched series on Disney Plus. This could be because of the hype surrounding it. FX hasn't revealed many details, which has boosted anticipation. But will the initial excitement last? Only time will tell.
