Insatiable

I think people who say it's body shaming is missing the whole point of the show - it shows how one harbours insecurities with or without fat - it's a refreshing show that highlights how damaged we all are, despite our size

The series is not fat-shaming, transphobic or homophobic. It's the opposite, actually. The trans people from the LGBTQ people saved the day in one of the episodes, her best friend's story arc was handled respectfully and the series showed that becoming thinner didn't improve Patty's life. It's a DARK COMEDY. IT'S SATIRE. Of course it's a little on the edge. The first few episodes will make you feel ambivalent, but it gets better. Just keep watching and it's a decently entertaining watch.

Just gotta add, Dallas Roberts' acting, especially in the last few episodes, was incredible. I spent quite a while admiring all those ambivalent and conflicting emotions his face expressed.

I feel that the user reviews and critic reviews are both very tainted with bias. Critics were very harsh, took every small detail and blew it up. Users gave it a perfect score just to spite the media. It's really just an okay show. It's a fun watch!

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...

I almost didn't watch because of the reviews this has gotten. Especially about the last episode but I'm so glad I watched. I kept finding myself torn between routing for Patty (Debby Ryan) and realizing she's a horrible person. Dallas Roberts was great as Bob Armstrong I loved him in this. It was also nice seeing Alyssa Milano and Christine Taylor. My crush for Christopher Gorham grew extremely high after this. I'm hoping for a season two. Screw what critics say this show was a hit.
