This is either going to be surprisingly just ok or really, really, really bad.
 
The whole concept is bad, they literally think pointless nudity made got successful. It either going to be a woke disaster or a regular disaster, I have zero hope for this.
 
I wish there had been nudity in the Dark Crystal or the Shannara series....
