Well, of course this is my IMHO, but for the role of the hero, for whom everyone is so dragged, they could find an actor and prettier, but this one walks about nothing and drools all over And in general, it is not yet clear how the series is, we look further)))
@ann_mihaelis: The hero's hotness is part of the joke. If he was as hot as Captain America, for example (especially when he is a human torch), it would not be so parodic.
@ann_mihaelis: Personally, I've been dragging with his appearance since the Popular series. And he has a figure for his age category at 5+. So the choice, as for me, is clearly not a failure. Well, it's nice to see him again
@ann_mihaelis: And the banter came to me. In real life, people often drag themselves after those who are nothing special. It's like "mom's friend's son." Everyone likes it, but it really pisses you off, because well, there's nothing in it, why the hell does everyone admire it?! So it is here. So the actor was picked up correctly, his character is well-groomed, a show-off and already infuriates in absentia.
@AsyAsyW: but that's just the essence of the series is completely different.. her dizzy didn't get any better at all. yes, it has changed, but it's okay the series is just about accepting yourself as usual, people have not seen anything and are already rioting
@ell: well, as usual, any movement has both adequate followers and brainless fanatics. There are people who are fighting for people with different looks to learn to accept and love themselves and not be driven about appearance. And there are those among them who believe that in order for the full to feel good, it is necessary to ban films about how people lose weight. And it is even better to ban the thin ones. XD
@dicktant: There is quite a big difference between asking and forbidding. They asked for it, but they didn't forbid it, and they didn't cancel it.

@AlinaKipr: I'm not going to watch the series.. But maybe it's time to delete the Friends series from all resources? Everyone was laughing at fat Monica there - it's not okay...
@Zyac: by the way, after the series "Friends" was added to Netflix last year and many watched it for the first time in a long time, a lot of articles appeared on the Internet for the first time about how this series has not passed the test of time and is currently very problematic (fetishizing, homophobia, transphobia, sexism)
I've watched everything, I won't spoil it, a message for those who are thinking.
the series is clearly not for everyone, especially not for the tolerant (despite the fact that the main cast of characters are not of a traditional orientation, neither white nor male).
it went downhill in some places, although the plot was significantly rolled back from the idea in the first episode. but we can see the field for future seasons. Who else is on the first episode, don't slow down. Everything is very dynamic here and slightly resembles Jane the Virgin by this. The topic of fat does not have such a central role at all, as the series is presented in the media. I would even say that the series has nothing to do with the weight of the heroine at all (but there are a lot of alcoholics there).
One of Dexter's creators had a hand in the series, as I found out after watching it. It's felt.
It's a great show, but a lot of people won't like it, it's black, thin, and sometimes thick (and it's not about fat).
In general, all the hype around the show is as banter as the fact that the show is bantering. Just an Occurrence. The critics don't understand what they're being shown, the translators translate clumsily, and everyone is unhappy. As a result, the extras can't swallow it, because they're used to dumber content (and the series isn't really for the smart ones).
These are the fucking shows that are being shut down for the first season, because the Vampire Diaries and other standard heresy are coming in more and more.
@dicktant: I would not say that the series is not for the tolerant, and there are a lot of ridicule of representatives of various minorities, but they are not shown in a good light, and someone always corrects them. the series is rather not for the overly sensitive, even if such intolerant behavior is shown in a negative light, not everyone will be pleased with it.
@MilanaWalters: I'm talking about the tolerant-of-the-brain, who are triggered by everything and they make YouTube videos of how the cashier muttered to them in the cafeteria. and these people who insert "sis-gender" into everything and talk to representatives of it as if they should know all 28 variants of gender on Facebook and the term sis-gender itself.
Representatives of minorities are also people, they don't have to be positive characters and can be quite intolerant themselves. if I don't remember who was a minority in the series after watching it, then for me the series showed people quite realistically, since that's not what I remember about the characters. if it's easy to label and orient yourself without mentioning the hero, this is a bad scenario and a stamp for me. I'm not talking about tez characters who obviously don't hide their gender and also try to stand out (like drag queens).
It's very important nowadays to launch a series that banters exactly all this crazy tolerance, and tolerant people don't understand banter. It's very ironic.
I don't really pay much attention to such things, skin color, gender, orientation, I generally don't focus on it when watching, I'm either interested and like the character, or not. now everyone is fixated on focusing on such things, just as the series is dubbed in the media as a series about fat. damn, the irony is so strong, I'm just happy watching it.
the series is for those who stupidly want to watch something funny, black and unusual, and also miss some actors and are not a fan of yelling about what infuriates them in modern society, since in this series you can find fault with everything if you look for a problem.
2010. I, an enthusiastic schoolgirl, am watching "16 Wishes", where Debbie Ryan plays a schoolgirl. 2018. I'm an alcohol-soaked student watching Insatiable, where Debbie Ryan plays a schoolgirl. What a blessing, at least something in this world doesn't change.
A word of advice: don't take this series seriously, please. there is no need to persistently analyze the actions of the characters, this is not exactly how it works here. there are no positive characters in this series, imho. Each one is either too big or too toxic. Many actions and events are also exclusively comedic in nature and sometimes do not correspond at all to the laws of logic.
So if you're looking for a good drama, then this is not the case. "Insatiable" is a banter series that will brighten up a couple of evenings, no more.
PS. the further you go, the more interesting it gets. especially the finale of the eighth episode takes the series to a new level of thrash. if you are satisfied with the first episodes, then I advise you to watch them to the end. if you are frankly infuriated by everything that is happening, then it's better to quit and don't torture yourself.
An "expert" opinion based on the results of watching four episodes, without spoilers.
The series is not worth watching. I regret the time I spent. Dramedies of this kind, based on the absurdity of what is happening and the absurdity of the characters, work only if there are colorful characters and strong acting, but here both are three. As a result, it smells second-rate, and no Alice Milano saves.
An example of how similar series with a less ass-ass performance turn out to be successful is the Virgin (Jane the Virgin). There's a similar formula - an absurd plot, cartoon characters, scandals, intrigues, love triangles - but the result is much better due to the freaky acting of the cast, led by Gina Rodriguez, who won a whole Golden Globe for this role.
The epilogue. We live in the golden age of television. The bar is fixed at an unprecedented height. Take a look at the 2018 Emmy nominees - masterpiece upon masterpiece. Watching TV shows like Insatiable nowadays means not respecting yourself.
The idea is interesting) But the embarrassing thing is that the fat woman abruptly became a beauty and does not seem to realize or see that the beauty, although she dresses normally (well, or depraved), makes up, and so on.. It's not very plausible. I'll keep looking, I just won't take the characters seriously (adequately), but I'll just watch)
@vk647712: the fact that a person after losing weight normally or depraved dresses and makes up and at the same time does not realize that he is handsome is normal)00 maybe not everyone, of course, but if a person can, then why not. but what's in my head is different.
A fairly light series, without much semantic load, no need to think about the plot or the actions of the characters. In fact, I was disappointed in Netflix after watching the series "The End of the ***** world", it's just as pointless, but at least you can watch "Insatiable" because of the dynamism of the plot, in the last episodes of "The End..." I actually fell asleep :)
Don't look for some deep thought or raising any global issues here, everything is much simpler.
If Bob was the best in the group, the best prosecutor, then he should know the law very well and be able to stand up for himself. Yes, I was confused in the audience. But then live for 3 months with a declining reputation, waiting for a lawsuit, which, as he himself knew, would not happen, because it was slander? He should have sued that woman for defamation, then there would definitely have been a trial and he would have won, his reputation was ruined.. No, he lives happily for himself, tolerates all the stares and kicks. Which one is even better?!
It's a bit blunt and imperfectly understood in some places. But it's an interesting plot, I haven't figured out the series in one episode, I'm going to "try it out" for a couple more episodes.
After seeing the main character and reading the description of the series, honestly, I expected more, and indeed something else. The first episode is interesting, however, in my opinion, the idea of turning a plump girl into a beauty could be played much more interesting and instructive. Than the fact that she fell in love with a man who was too old for her, married and with a child. How and for what purposes she decided to use her acquired beauty. By the end of the episode, she had come to her senses a little, which is good. Let's see what happens next.
At least in the first episode there is a lot of debauchery, nasty ideas and thoughts. I understand that this is a comedy, but I personally find it unpleasant to watch many moments. I'm not a prude, I'm not against humor, sexual themes and the like. I love the same "Game of Thrones", which many hate for debauchery and frankness. But I'm afraid it won't work with this series, because I expected something completely different.
A lot of people talk about the banter in the series. That this is, in principle, one continuous banter. I don't quite agree (again, just about the FIRST episode). The Preacher series😍I just love it. There's banter in it, black humor, devilry, and a lot of game in general) Also, the series "Shameless" is very satirical and bantering. In the same series, specifically in the first episode, there is a feeling that they didn't get enough banter, but also overdid it to take it seriously.
In subsequent episodes, the degree of absurdity is slightly reduced, but it's still a very strange series) Separately, I would like to note how the series shows the importance of faith in other people's people, for their "upliftment", faith in themselves and improvement)
I started watching this series because of Alice Milano's participation in it. The characters are not exciting and there is no one to sympathize with, but I wonder what this will lead to in the end.
I didn't like the pilot.hyperbolized emotions, there is no disclosure of the characters, the themes of the same bullying.I didn't expect this from Netflix, although he occasionally makes mistakes like this, it's worth admitting.I was very pleased with Alyssa Milano!I think the series will come in once, but so far many moments are annoying.
I saw Kimmy Shields in The Lone Star and wanted to watch anything with her. in this regard, the series did not disappoint)
"Insatiable" is not exactly my type, but it looks easy and fast. to anyone who is going to start, I recommend that you first understand that this series cannot be trusted)) everything changes regularly in the blink of an eye. The characters' thoughts constantly suddenly start flowing in the most unexpected directions. in fact, there is some realism in this, which is lacking in "normal" TV series, in which the characters must gradually develop while maintaining their "note" (in real life, this happens very rarely). but in general, "Insatiable" is just hilarious nonsense) if something at some point in the series seems serious and sincere to you, remember my comment: it's not like that, and the series will show it to you very soon))

74And who is she playing here?
And in general, it is not yet clear how the series is, we look further)))
but somehow it doesn't pull much to look further
the series is just about accepting yourself
as usual, people have not seen anything and are already rioting

The series is intriguing. He's still weird😂 BUT watch at least episode 5, and it WILL DEFINITELY get you hooked)
A slowly falling reputation is better than one that has fallen below zero.
Petty's story looms very interesting and comical))
I'll be watching)
