“The Beauty” is the top show on Hulu right now, according to the streaming service’s public ranking system.
The sci-fi body horror series, co-created and produced by Ryan Murphy, takes on modern beauty standards with a gruesome twist. When international supermodels suddenly start dying in mysterious ways, two FBI agents (Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall) race to uncover a life-threatening conspiracy that leads back to a beauty drug created by a shady tech billionaire (Ashton Kutcher).
The series also stars Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, along with guest stars Bella Hadid, Isabella Rossellini, Ben Platt, Jessica Alexander and Vincent D’Onofrio.
So far, the FX thriller has earned mixed reviews from critics and audiences, with some comparing it to Demi Moore’s equally grisly body horror film “The Substance.”
