Insatiable Netflix Review

So as you probably know recently insatiable season two has dropped on Netflix, and after a strange and rather abrupt ending to season one I was very apprehensive, but due to the fact I absolutely love Debby Ryan who plays the main character I thought why not give it ago.

As I expected, this show in the first season was gradually developing into something a little over the top but instead of it taking the pretentious road and pretending it was a high calibre show it has become very very self-aware. The mixture of self-aware humour and dark cheese surprisingly seems to work. While watching it I could help but be reminded of the golden age of TV, The pushing daisies, Ugly Betty time. Those over the top and comically dark vibes which I adored as a teenager. over all just a lot nonsensical fun. It’s a very easy watch if you’re looking for something as a distraction with oddly likeable and straight up ridiculous characters and plots.

One of my favourite things about this show is that In real life the amount of mistakes we see patty make when hiding a variety of bodies after her seemingly and arguably ‘’accidental’’ run ins with, well murder, is very unbelievable and I couldn’t help but laugh as any rookie cop would be able to find a mountain of evidence against her. Which is a private and hilarious point in season two as we see a police officer tasked with protecting patty and the pageant contestants and consistently see him failing over and over again, as he is shown to be one of the most incompetent police officers ive ever seen in a show. The number of silly situations and reactions we see while watching him more evidence that this show was become extremely self-aware.

Warning:

My one warning would be that you cannot, if you are planning on watching this show go into it with a serious expectation because that will result in a very disappointing experience. I am very much into my crime shows and documentaries whether it’s a fictional thriller or true crime but I was able to take this for what it is, silly and fun. Not every show that includes this type of content and topic has to be serious and Gorey. A prime example of why the show is similar to pretty little liars for example. This mindset was why I was able to really enjoy this and laugh at the show. When you accept this, you end up enjoying the ludicrousness of the show in spite of its screaming and laughable plot holes.

Now usually when I have watched a show, I really like I tend to do a little research in what other people thought and their views on it, and I could not believe the amount of people who disliked and trashed this show. I was genuinely surprised. But more than that, I was surprised at the straws some critics were picking at.

Amongst some of the silliest the one that really irritated me was the claims that this show mocks and poke fun at eating disorders. Now, on the offset I can understand that view but the more you look into the interactions and situations depicted in both season one and two the more and the more you pay attention to the smaller things, the expressions, the pain that the characters are showing, I can’t help but defend the show. Realistically I don’t think this subject could have been handled without a little push back from some people, because it depends on how people perceive something that is so personally to each of us struggling with this issue. It’s a very complex thing and everyone’s experiences and views are different which of course will lead to some backlash.

But this show manages to depict it perfectly for me, this was the first show I watched that was based around eating disorders where I felt genuinely recognised and given a voice. There are so many situations I saw shown that I have experienced personally, and while it was hard to watch it was handled so delicately and so accurately, I fell in love. it manages to deliver a strong message but instead of scaring people and ramming the subject down people’s throats which I feel a lot of productions do now, and use this idea to create a scandal , it shows a difficult subject in a more light hearted manner but still managers to get it message across clearly and delicately. Season two then ends up dealing with the struggle of accepting and getting help with problems to do with food and self-acceptance, it shows the stress and break down of all different kinds of relationships, it shows the harsh reality of people refusing to admit when they need help and while as I said can be a hard thing to show, it mixes this with the cheese that we all love to land their points effectively but with a softer landing. It gives you a raw look at something so many people are either personally effected by or know someone effected by it without showing anything gratuitous or overly uncomfortable, not to mention I feel, bringing awareness to another eating disorder that I feel is not as talked about as it should be which is over eating and self-punishment to do with food and any show that takes a subject like that on and brings awareness is a success to me which is why I feel so strongly about this show and stand behind it.

Trigger warning this show depicts eating disorders and as i stated above, a lot of the struggles dealing with this. So please, be careful.
