    This show is unique. People don’t wanna face the truth. I disagree with many comedies. This one hits close to home. This isn’t fat shamming.

    I hate the negative press this show gets because it isn’t politically correct. I thoroughly enjoy the black humor and hope that Netflix renews season 2. Is it perfect, no. But it is a guilty pleasure.

    Dark comedy people...yes, it's revoltingly funny, completely absurd and bawdy. Like a 'carry-on' film on steroids.. But it is actually kind of progressive in its message at times, if you stick with it.

    i cant believe that there are bad reviews. Sure there were a million twists. But isn't that the beauty of the show? who wants just another show that everyone can guess what happens next.

    I found that the show was incredibly interesting. If people looked beyond the 1st episode, they'd see a show packed with charm from the various actors. Sure the lead was overtaken sometimes by the charming side-characters, but it showed they were interesting as well.

I really think that this should get a second season, if not to clear its name with the critics, but to give the fans what they want. It actually caught and held my attention in a sea of Netflix series that I leave unfinished. It's fun and if you give it a chance, while there might be some wrinkles in it politically, it was an interesting experience through and through. If anybody working at Netflix takes anything from this, please, the show was enjoyable and attention-grabbing.

    I found the slightly villainous Debby Ryan to capture my attentions with her selfishness, it was enormously satisfying for her to take what she wanted and while she failed a lot of the time, she was AWESOME and the actress played her well. Dallas Roberts, he was an incredible actor and I found his endearing Bob Armstrong to whisk me away due to a delicious mixture of his flamboyancy and his heart which comes from a gay guy. Alyssa Milano, while she was away for a lot of episodes and sometimes felt 2-dimensional with her constant seeking of approval from her rich peers, she managed to make me both hate her and love her. Christopher Gorham made me love Bob Barnard, both for being hot and a total douchebag, I found him to be adorable and punchable, definitely nailed the acting.

    Now let's talk about the political correctness, the majority of reviews here focus on it and I'd be lying if I wasn't itching to tell people why it isn't bad. This show is satire and a black comedy, it has some awesome things that people need to acknowledge. It has good intentions and I don't think would affect anorexic people more than normal. I think that because of Trump's crazy stuff, we're trying to find anything to attack because the corrupt administration keeps on keeping on. We need to stop being angry rats in a box, biting everyone because of any perceived infraction, look at the James Gunn controversy. The guy made one flat joke years ago and he was removed, everyone wants him back because he directed it incredibly well. I think if you give Insatiable a chance, you'd love it.

    Honestly, I hope there is a second season, because boy, I want to find out what happens next in everyone's stories.    … Expand

    In the beginning of this series you start to get to know the character Patrisha or as the school kids call her fatty Patty. Patty was the innocent overweight teenager that had been bullied since she can remember and one day that all changed she got knocked out by a homeless guy wanting her chocolate that she was eating. She got to do her life over.

This series has romance struggles, murder mysteries, lies and many more. I would personally recommend this series for people that love watching love stories with twist in it.

    This show is funny, clever, and subversive all at once. Truly captures some of the worst aspects of our society - calls them out - and lets us laugh at their absurdity. A "Dynasty" for the 21st Century. I am glad I am not alone in how much I enjoy watching this and hope it is renewed!

    If you are a fan of Riverdale, then there is a good chance that you will appreciate Insatiable. This series is edgier than the former but don't let that stop you. This show is good. I don't understand the critic's poor reviews. Maybe they are playing it safe. Insatiable hits a lot of strings when it strums. The story is fun, well written, and the actors back this up with excellent performances.

    I don't understand all the negative critic reviews. It's almost like they didn't watch the show. I found it riveting and binge watchable, and it definitely picked up steam the further you got into it. It was pretty original, dealt with themes of self-hatred and outer appearances, in society, and was funny and weird. I was bummed when I finished it, now I have to wait a year!

Its from a writer off Dexter, so whoever was expecting a heartfelt exploration of body issues face by an innocent girl needs to call up Dr. Phil and invite him over for popcorn and Juno. This show is nihilism as social commentary, it is not finding Dory rewritten to speak to pressing social issues about how bad Seaworld is. This is a show about bad parents and flawed people, not about how screenwriters are going to save the world by tackling social issues until we reach utopia. This show is a lot like Dexter or Fight Club with violence or Curb Your Enthusiasm with offensiveness, but I guess the producers missed the memo from popular critics that only shows with male leads are allowed to be nihilistic and offensive. Shows with female leads have a duty to play first lady and be a healthy body image campaign. Maybe those critics are not so woke after all.… Expand

    Hilarious. As a Southerner, I have to praise Dallas Roberts on edging Zach Galifinakis' Marty Huggins as GREATEST SOUTHERN EFFEMINATE of all time (SE GOAT). There's nothing in this series that would offend anyone with an actual sense of humor. Enjoy it for what it is, a unique, ballsy satire of an overlooked subculture.

    It's not great, it's not that good either, but it's also absolutely not that bad -- and honestly it's not even that problematic. While some dialogue might feel a little bit akward and "eh" at some points, the show itself does deal with its subjects somewhat carefully. I really can't comprehend why the critics reviewed this show so poorly.

    Here's what Insatiable is not: an exercise in fat-shaming or any other teenage caste cruelty. Sure, Patty gets mocked and abused, but the kids who engage in that behavior are unambiguously treated as villains, and they don't fare well. And Patty's acts of vengeance mostly seem heroic, even when they are patently misanthropic. Everybody who ever suffered shunning or scorn at the hands of a high-school social overlord will be raising a fist in solidarity.
