Dear newsletter subscribers,

Good Sunday evening, and happy 10th anniversary of the premiere of Captain America: The First Avenger, which I mention because we get to see real people doing incredible, sometimes impossible-seeming things starting Friday when the Summer Olympics kick off in Tokyo.

Also, a few of this week's reality TV and documentary premieres are more explicitly connected to the Olympics than my stretch of a metaphor, so let's get to them.

Netflix's next dating series, Sexy Beasts, premieres this week (Netflix, Wednesday). On each episode, a single person wearing one of these costumes goes on several dates with people who are also wearing prosthetics to turn them into an animal. Though wouldn't the Olympics be more interesting if some athletes were in animal makeup?
