Netflix just dropped its new reality TV dating series 'Too Hot To Handle' and fans are already hooked on to the series. Some fans on social media even called it a rip-off of 'Love Island' affirming it's good and they love it!

'Too Hot To Handle' revolves around 10 hot singles on a tropical island in Mexico. While they assume they are on the island for an exotic and erotic vacation, Lana, a virtual guide, breaks their little bubble of hope revealing they will not be able to have sex, no heavy petting, no making out, no kiss and no self-gratification either.

These contestants were selected because they have a history of meaningless flings and one night stands. They are forced to form deeper emotional connections, personal relationships and abstain from having sex throughout their stay on the island.

If they break any rule, money will be deducted from their prize money of $100,000. From Yoni Puja, Shibani, heart warrior exercise, and other workshops that were organized to help the contestants form real bonds and relationships, most of them left the island evolved and changed.

It was a hard task for them to abstain from sexual practices, but most contestants gave up and ended up sharing a kiss at the very least reducing $3,000 from the prize money for each kiss. The two couples who ended up spending most of the money were Francesca and Harry who spent $32,000. Rhonda and Sharron spent $16,000. 

Binge-watching the series from the second Netflix released it, fans on Twitter seem to be loving the series so far. "This is straight rip off love island but they did good #TooHotToHandle," a fan wrote. Another fan shared, "This is a legit rip-off of Love Island and I love it. LI needs a shake-up. #TooHotToHandle." 

"I’m watching #TooHotToHandle on Netflix and I’m addicted! That’s what this quarantine feels like," a fan shared while another added, "The Circle, Love is Blind and now the ultra-horny #TooHotToHandle; Netflix is really bringing it with its trashy reality TV."

"Watching this Netflix dating show shit #TooHotToHandle and it is already straight-up entertainment," a fan said. Another shared, "#TooHotToHandle this show is way better than Love Island, love to see." 

"Finally, I have found the best lockdown show. Here's the log line. Tell me how is this not a winner. #TooHotToHandle," a fan wrote. Another said, "If #TooHotToHandle will help fill the Love Is Blind/Bachelor/The Circle whole in my heart ... I will allow it."
