Alessa Dominguez BuzzFeed News The latest dating show on Netflix never achieves the outrageousness required to make truly great so-bad-it’s-good reality TV. Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Erin Taylor Bitch Media Too Hot to Handle might actually be the opposite of what its name suggests: It's not hot enough. May 18, 2020 Full Review Perri Nemiroff Perri Nemiroff (YouTube) Yes, at times laughs are coming at the contestant's expense and some of the behavior featured on the show is downright absurd, but it's all mighty entertaining and there's a very effective blend of that absurdity and also some legitimate heart. Rated: 4/5 May 14, 2020 Full Review Caitlin Kennedy But Why Tho? A Geek Community Too Hot To Handle hits like a cold shower. It has all the essential foreplay to titillate but leaves the viewer unsatisfied. Any addicting qualities this show has wear off like a honeymoon phase... Rated: 4/10 Jun 26, 2020 Full Review Prathyush Parasuraman Film Companion ... an ephemeral joy. Discard once used. Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Dave Nemetz TV Line Too Hot has a killer premise, to be sure, but the show managed to fumble it away with a number of ill-advised production choices.

DanRB4 C It's a very stupid concept on how only the bad people win :( James was good the whole show and didn't even make finalist Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/23 Full Review Dave When the trailer popped up for this on my netflix home screen I was transfixed, in much the same way one struggles to look away from a car wreck. This celebration of vacuous individuals and the worst our species has to offer has somehow achieved such extents of raw stupidity that it transcends from being the worst 10 minutes of your life (I challenge anyone to suffer this show for longer) to being an insult to humanity in general and all we have accomplished. I'd rather be left to the mercy of the Spanish inquisition than see another frame of this 'show'. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/15/22 Full Review carter s Let's be honest, all the boys watched it for Francesca. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Too hot to handle is absurdly entertaining if you can manage to hit the OFF switch in your brain while watching. You get to see a hands on sociological experiment that demonstrates the essence of the human species is survival ,and yes that implies mating and it's rituals . The cast is pretty decent looking (I can imagine they where on a budget) but some of them really do come through. (Francesca for example) . So if you want to catch a few pretty faces and are looking to kill some time while resting post surgery (my case btw) go for it . Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Max S This is one of the cringiest shows I've ever seen. Everybody is dumb as hell, and not even in an entertaining way. It's an amusing concept that goes nowhere. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/21 Full Review Audience Member Worst show i have ever thought of watching. I literally regret me saying "This is an interesting concept" in the first minute of the trailer. I am sure that there will be no deep revelation for these young people and it is just a weird paradise hotel spin-off with a twist. If they casted actual intellectuals instead of sub-human primates it would probably be an exciting reality show with much to learn from and reflect from. Don't watch Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
