Insatiable

A lot of shows when they first appear give two or three episodes to "professional reviewers." This show did that. And when it did at least one accused it of "fat shaming" in large part because Debby Ryan who plays the lead female Patty Bladell wears a fat suit in the pilot episode so she can go from an overweight teenager to a "suddenly thin and beautiful" teenager in what amounts to a half hour episode. So many people down voted and one starred this hating it from the on start without thinking about what the show was trying to actually say which was that being thin and beautiful didn't fix any of Patty's problem's.

Season 2 even deals with the question that Patty's weight was a condition of her overriding problem not the source of them. That Patty has far bigger problems then her inability to stop eating her feelings.

This is a dark comedy that plays murder for laughs. It also deals with a lot of different kinds of relationships including a couple of thruples. The two Bobs are hilarious and Alyssa Milano is really good in this (but she may not be back for season 3 if ongoing politics in Georgia do not go her way).

So if you look at the 6.5 rating and want to pass on it don't. Half of the one star reviews are by people who read the fat shaming article and never bothered to watch this in the first place.

Good for them. This show is hysterical and fierce. It reminded me of the raunchy comedies I grew up watching, back in late 90s/early 2000s. I'm sure it would've lasted longer, had the show aired then. Unfortunately it didn't, and the way writers were having a hard time living up to what the premise suggested, especially on season 2, didn't help make the series case. This season premiere was struggling at reaching first season's goodness, but redeemed itself on the remaining episodes. I wished there were a third season, but I'm fine with what I got. However, it's almost unbelievable this show got the boot, while other Netflix drivels are being offered more seasons than they should...

This show is a COMEDY! Yes, it makes fun of everbody! I've struggled with weight issues my whole life and one of my closest coworkers is a lesbian (the two most shamed things on this show) and we both find this show funny. If you like dumb humor, watch! And people need to stop being so serious ALL THE TIME!

I'm sorry... I get the issues but take this for what it is... a spoof... funny... meant to be a comedy. As a former fat girl to skinny girl... this ish is hilarious!!!!

The humor is adult, they swear like normal people, and anyone that spent their school years in the fringes will understand the emotions the main character is going through. There's nothing to get upset about in this series, so pop some corn, grab a fizzy drink, and just settle down and enjoy this comedy (that will also provide some 'pause and think' moments as you apply her experiences to your own life).
