    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!

    About the controversy accusing of "fat shaming" I ask you: tell me a serie that talks about this theme? Or better tell me some serie that has a fat character/actor? Don't point fingers on something that you don't fight against in your real life because all you (not generalizing) consume this type of "skinny media". And please stop to reproduced just what you heard others telling and make your own thoughts based on your experiences.
    In conclusion WATCH the serie and then speak YOUR real considerations.    … Expand

    Insatiable as a series of humor fulfills the expected making the viewer laugh. That's the greats comedies needs and not the "politically correct speechs" promoted by the media as seen in the current series and movies in general.

    It's not a masterpiece but it's good specially with some characters like bob who shows that heterosexual men come in many ways and breaking that stereotype of a gay feminine man, the message is clear "it doesn't matter how you look outside if you don't feel confortable with yourself inside and if you don't love yourself as you are"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lately in America, it’s like walking on egg shells. Who ever is complaining about this show clearly can’t realize that real life surpasses fiction any day. Im an over weight woman and I did not once feel offended or feel like this show was going to be emotionally hurtful. If anything this shows you the Truth about yourself, and if anybody who’s over weight tells you they are not emotional eaters they are lying ! The only difference is I love my chunky rolls and size 12. Some woman have trouble with that because they care what other people think. I don’t, I’m happy with swimming 10 laps and not passing out. That’s just me! People need to stop blaming society and take responsibility for themselves ! I loved this show and can’t wait for season 2 !… Expand

    I don't know what everyone else's problem is but I think its very clever. People need to realise it is a dark comedy and not meant to be teaching values, it is just a show and if people expect shows to do their parenting then that's their problem.

    People have become too sensitive and too easily triggered over nothing these days.
    Get over it people!
    I read an article from Mamamia that apparently it brought the reporter "to tears". She was referring to Patty eating her emotions and the outside people telling her she doesn't need food to feel better. This somehow transferred to "fat shaming" to this woman. I'm sorry.. but if your friends don't stop you from falling in to a pile of cake when you're feeling down then they aren't you friends! It's not fat shaming, it is emotional eating which is dangerous and NO friends should support that.    … Expand

And while reviews may be helpful, they could and often do lead people to watch something that they end up hating or deter them from a viewing experience that could have had a profound impact on their life. Yet, I find it necessary to write a brief review of Insatiable. The show, like many, has its flaws. Perhaps they could do better to make the satire of the show more obvious. Perhaps it is meant to be subtle. Patty reflects on how bullying is ignored when the victim is fat, ugly, or otherwise unpopular. This is an extremely impactful and true claim, and perhaps it is further exemplified in how the show utilises satire or a lack of humour as some would suggest, to showcase how easily bullying can prevail in society. Aside from the social commentary surrounding the show, it is also interesting in the sense of whether or not it is a good show. And when it comes to both the elements of entertainment as well as the thematic elements of the show such as the satire and social commentary, I think the show is a whirlwind of chaos. I think it has highs and lows and I am not sure if I love it or hate it, but I think there is one thing that is certain. What is that one thing ? I want to see a second season. I too have an insatiable hunger for something, and that is binge-watching shows and movies, and honestly, I feel that this is definitely a binge-worthy show for Netflix and that they would be crazy to give it up before giving it a chance.… Expand

    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

    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.
