Some people claim that the current proliferation of streaming services is bad for television, that this frantic scramble for subscribers will result in a gruesome and grubby race to the bottom. I don’t want to say that those people are right, but then again Peacock just made a pilot for a new reality show called Sex in the Dark.
According to Deadline, Sex in the Dark is a “raunchy social experiment” where a blindfolded person embarks on “intimacy tests to judge their connection, chemistry and attraction with a number of different suitors. The show culminates in a final night in complete darkness, as the singleton bed-hops with the remaining suitors to see if smell, touch, physical connection and energy is all you need to fall in love.”
