Controvercial new Netflix series "Insatiable"

[pontyboi]

Full season has arrived on Netflix today and it Looks like Mean Girls on steroids!

Its been all over the media with hundreds of thousands of people signing a petition to get it pulled because it apparently fat shames and celebrates being skinny which is bs. These snowflakes put this petition together from a trailer without even witnessing a single episode.

To these people I say **** off because it looks hilarious :laugh:

[Cal.]

[Greg!]

Looks absolutely dire

[RileyH]

Debby Ryan :love: imma perch this later

[ethanjames]

[armand.kay]

[Shaun]

19/100 on Metacritic :eyes:

[pontyboi]

Looks absolutely dire

I respectfully disagree :)

[montblanc]

dumb concept

[pontyboi]

19/100 on Metacritic :eyes:

21/100 actually but these critics have all jumped on the PC bandwagon without even viewing it seems for instance one review reads "an equal opportunity trainwreck" replete with bad jokes about rape and pedophilia, and offensive stereotypes of African-Americans, Christians, Southerners and gay people."

When did an entertainment show have to be politicly correct all the time? Bring back the unsanitary humour I say!

Its funny how Mean Girls is celebrated as a classic even though it contains the same stereotypes and themes makes me wonder if it was released today and not in 2004 would it have the same critical acclaim?

[RileyH]

dumb concept

Just bc you're fat

[Shaun]

You're defending a TV show you haven't seen because you like the look of it :suspect: I see the level of this conversation...

I literally just finished episode 1 before making this thread...Im defo gonna be binging this on hangover Sunday.

[montblanc]

Just bc you're fat

anyways!

[Marsh.]

Is it satirical?

If so, why the uproar?

[pontyboi]

Is it satirical?

If so, why the uproar?

Yeah its a satire but vaguely based on the writers personal experiences at high school.

People just love to kick up a fuss its not as if they made the character popular and loveable because she becomes thin infact the main character stays the same old bitter, hell bent on revenge queen lol.

[Morgan.]

I'm a bit upset at Debby for accepting this trash role but i know there'll be a reason why she accepted it

tbf scream queens got away with a quite a lot and its a very recent show. Maybe people are happy to turn a blind eye when the show is actually funny/good

But Scream Queens was diabolical? :think:

Not to mention the backlash for this show came about before it was even released so can't be based on its quality (or lack thereof)?

[JoshBB]

scream queens was ****ing good. a mess, but a hot one

Sounds like that particular critic has viewed the show rather thoroughly, actually!

(p.s. Mean Girls kinda sucks)

Scream Queens was great a comedic masterpiece.

[Marsh.]

Scream Queens was great a comedic masterpiece.

Earmuff girl and the black policewoman caused a chuckle or two but the rest was abhorrent.

Can't believe I have to endure Emma Roberts playing Emma Roberts again in the next AHS either.

[Headie]

I might watch this to see what all the meltdowns are about :fan:

[Smithy]

Are you crazy he’s a child molestor?!
Exactly! So it means I might be in with a shot

:laugh3:

[Smithy]

“Welcome to the gala for anal cancer”

:skull:

Who tf complained about this, it’s a scream

Literally my new favourite show I was supposed to be going out tonight but it pissed down so stayed in and binged the entire series...Now im sad its over :( lol I feel like I over indulged just like Patty must feel when she eats carbs.

[Jase.]

One time when every single scathing review is justified. What an appalling show :skull:

[thisisdanny]

Should I watch or?

[Tom4784]

It doesn't look very good but I hope it smashes just because of the ridiculous backlash against the trailer and people misunderstanding the concept of satire.

[pontyboi]

One time when every single scathing review is justified. What an appalling show :skull:

How many episodes did you watch?

Sorry but this show is gonna create a million memes...So many hilarious quotes.

[LukeB]

This is a mess but so entertaining and hilarious. I don't really get the fuss over it :s

[Amy Jade]

I watched ep1 and quite enjoyed it. Dunno what the big fuss is over

[LukeB]

I watched ep1 and quite enjoyed it. Dunno what the big fuss is over

i'm glad the petition didn't stop netflix from showing it

I watched 8 episodes yesterday without a break :worry:

[Mystic Mock]

Looks absolutely dire

It don't sound like my kind of thing either.

[Withano]

Looks terrible. Im gonna watch it now.

[Smithy]

Ep 4 was so cute till the last 2 minutes :skull:

[Smithy]

“First you got bullied for being fat and now you’re getting gay bashed?” Sknakhabs

[Daniel-X]

If you don’t take it seriously this is actually really good shshsh

[LukeB]

Just finished it..

they better be a second season after that ending :umm2:

[Smithy]

Does anyone find Christian attractive?

he's possibly the ugliest "attractive lead" in a show I've ever seen, he looks like a llama

[LukeB]

Nope

Brick though :flutter:

[Withano]

I watched 3 episodes and i think i hate it?

[Withano]

Not for the reasons others have used. Its just really silly and OTT and headache-inducing? I havent given up on it completely, but i dont see me finishing the series.

[Smithy]

I'm literally screaming at the last 15 minutes of episode 8 askdbbkas

[Beso]

Was ok.

Sounds like a non cartoony family guy.

[user104658]

Actually really enjoying this :joker:. I mean, it's utter trash, but in the best way.

[Smithy]

Omfg the ending :omgno:

[ethanjames]

watched two episodes and had the biggest headache afterwards trash!

[LukeB]

Omfg the ending :omgno:

I know :omgno:

If we don't get a season 2 with that ending :bored:

[Smithy]

I know :omgno:

If we don't get a season 2 with that ending :bored:

I think there will be, there’s so much drama around the show the ratings will have been really good and at the end of the day I imagine that’s all they care ablut

[Morgan.]

Idk what happens in it and I don't really care but I have a sneaky feeling that Debby Ryan wouldn't do another series just because of the hate/death threats she, her family, her boyfriend, and boyfriends family have all received.

[Smithy]

The people that made the threats clearly hadn't watched the show, I imagine a lot of it will die down and they'll do a S2, I can't imagine many actors turning down their own Netflix series, it's not like she's been anywhere since that boat with those twins

[armand.kay]

I've watches a few eps and its cute and enjoyable it just needs some polishing up but the humour is there and i can see it doing well if it was given another season

[armand.kay]

Also I love the southern accents although I find it weird how Deby and lesbo friend have regular american accents

[user104658]

This is an absolute scream and anyone who thinks it's offensive clearly does not understand satire in the slightest. :hmph:

[Vicky.]

Going to start this tonight I think..have just finished rewatching nikita so looking for something. was going to try westworld, but in the mood for trashier stuff so..probably this :laugh:

[Elliot]

Watched it bc bored, it’s pretty bad, but not for the reasons listed lol
The whole fat shaming thing is stupid. The show portrays the fact that she was fat shamed a bad thing because it makes Debbie Ryan vindictive and sour and just ends up hurting more people in the future. It’s against bullying and fat shaming. Just because a theme is in ur media doesn’t mean you endorse it, why are people so thick?
But yeah it’s pretty unfunny and **** lol

[Amy Jade]

Alyssa Milano was fab in this

It is fabulous garbage and you love it the end.

[user104658]

But can anyone explain why SHE HASN'T AGED SINCE 2002??? :umm2:

I watched a few episodes of this out of curiosity, I found it hilarious........sorry :hehe:

[Smithy]

Tea!

[user104658]

I watched a few episodes of this out of curiosity, I found it hilarious........sorry :hehe:

It literally only gets better :joker:

[Tom4784]

I watched the first episode and thought it was pretty funny.

I think a lot of reviews got a bit too political and bandwagon-y with it tbh, kinda like how every MCU film will always get a decent review even if it's bad. If it carries on with the same quality that the first episode had, it's a solid series.

[Binbin]

I wonder if most people who enjoy this harsh **** are like Trump voters?

It's definitely a bad taste thing, and Netflix is just rammed full of bad taste stuff that the Executives that work there find rewarding and relaxing. I wonder why they like to make this garbage so much? Are they Russian? :nono:

[Vicky.]

Kind of enjoying this. And no I am not a trump voter :umm2:

[Oliver_W]

I've only seen Riley Dennis type idiots critisizing the show, which actually makes me think it's probably good :p reading through this thread I may check it out.

[Smithy]

Got renewed for S2 :cheer:

[Amy Jade]

Got renewed for S2 :cheer:

Great news!

[Jessica.]

I started watching it, I like it, it's funny.

[Headie]

Watched the first two eps today, it was a scream I love it

[Vicky.]

Annoyed with the ending though

Still didn't show this Miss United States or whatever the hell the main pageant was

[user104658]

Miss Magic Jesus >>

[Smithy]

Are y’all team bob or team coralee

[user104658]

Are y’all team bob or team coralee

I was rooting for the thrupple but it was never going to work :bawling:.

[Tom4784]

I finished this today, I thought it was a scream from start to finish.

I'm Team Coralee tbh, I was rooting for the throuple but I didn't like how Bob tried to emotionally blackmail him into picking him.

[Headie]

I'm halfway through the season, Nonnie is high-key annoying me now which is a shame as she was the funniest one for me at the start

[Nicky91]

just started with this series last night, first 2 eps were hilarious, i love this sort of comedy :clap1: :clap1:

[user104658]

I'm halfway through the season, Nonnie is high-key annoying me now which is a shame as she was the funniest one for me at the start

She's too straight (no pun intended :umm2: ) and doesn't fit with the rest of the show, as basically every other character is deliberately over-the-top and unrealistic. Some shows need that "real human" element but this one doesn't TBH, it's better with just the chaos :joker:.

[RileyH]

Started this last night and omg it's a howl

Dixie is a ****ing SCREAM

[RileyH]

Ugh this was amazing. shook @ the ending tho

Dixie, Brick & Magnolia >>

[Amy Jade]

[LukeB]

I'm not surprised, Season 1 was amazing but I was so uninterested in Season 2 and it didn't have the magic of the first season at all.
