Netflix's 'Insatiable' is not as tasteless as people are making it out to be, it's a lot worse!
Before taking a plunge it's wise to estimate the depth, so when the trailer for Netflix's new original 'Insatiable' premiered in July, it was met with immediate backlash but there was a chance that it was misunderstood and misjudged. Thousands signed petitions to cancel the show even before it released on August 10, but there were a few don't-judge-a-show-by-its-trailer adherents who wanted to give the show a shot, especially after its creator Lauren Gussiss explained that the audience will understand the true depth of what on the surface appeared to be a "fat shaming" series, only after it was fully watched and understood.
Now that the show is live and streaming and trending, it's safe to say that 'Insatiable' exceeded people's expectation of how horrible a show can get -- it didn't limit itself to fat shaming as was rightly surmised by many from its trailer, but also indulges in slut-shaming, merged with homophobia and pedophilia.
