Dance Monsters saw contestants 'dance like nobody's watching' as they performed away from the judges and audience.
Pussycat doll Ashley Roberts hosted the eight-episode series, while Lele Pons, Ne-Yo and Ashley Banjo were on the judging panel.
Using expensive technology the hopefuls transformed into CGI characters away from their everyday problems and personal struggles.
15 'monsters' competed in the show to win $250,000 and were eliminated one-by-one over the course of the series.

However, despite fans' hopes for another outing, bosses at Netflix have shelved production.
An insider told The Sun: "Dance Monsters was like Netflix's version of ITV's The Masked Dancer.
"The show had huge potential and it was widely thought it would be given another series.
"But when it came down to crunching numbers the ratings and price tag meant the project was left at one series."
