Insatiable: A confused script in a fatsuit, has Netflix missed the memo with this one?

The Debbie Ryan starrer looks like the run of the mill coming of age series with a bullied protagonist that turns her life around -- but it is much more problematic than that 
PUBLISHED JUL 24, 2018

Netflix's upcoming series 'Insatiable' has stirred up quite a storm. The trailer that released last week elicited the wrath of people on the internet who seem to have a couple of issues with this new Debbie Ryan starrer.

The plot follows Bob, "a disgraced, dissatisfied civil lawyer-turned-beauty pageant coach" who decides to help Patty, "a vengeful, bullied teenager" as his client without really knowing, just like Netflix in this case, that he's about to open a Pandora's box.

Debbie dons a fatsuit and gets bullied as an overweight teen before shedding the pounds and materializing as a skinny version of herself and suddenly becomes the talk of the town. While this seems like your run of the mill coming of age series with a bullied protagonist who turns her life around, it is much more problematic than that.
