Based on Sarai Walker's best-selling novel of the same name, "Dietland" offers a darkly comedic look at the war of the sexes. The series explores a multitude of issues women face today -- including patriarchy, misogyny, rape culture and unrealistic beauty standards -- by following Plum Kettle's journey to self-awakening. A ghostwriter for the editor of one of New York's hottest fashion magazines, Plum has waged a lifelong battle with her image. Fed up, she turns to weight-loss surgery but ends up in the middle of two rival feminist factions -- one that may be responsible for the attacks on male harassers, and the other that preaches female empowerment. As she straddles the two groups, Plum must decide what part she plays in a wildly complicated, changing world.

Critics Consensus

The well-acted Dietland delivers timely and engaging social commentary with enough humor and scathing wit to make up for an occasionally scattered narrative approach.

Full of issues, and lacking direction, Dietland nevertheless is a solid examination of the pervasiveness of fatphobia.

At first, it put me off...gradually, I began to appreciate the sheer amount of spaghetti that Noxon throws against the wall...visually, Dietland is a carnival of distortion, capturing the eating-disordered mind-set, down to its credit sequence,

When this show works it gets its revenge on the beautiful people, not with bitterness, but with a smile.

Some developments come to fruition in a satisfying manner, but too many do not.

Great tv series, very well done and touching extremely relevant topics, actually teaching something. Really looking forward to the 2nd season

Delivering intelligent social and political commentary on how appearance will affect your social ranks and that you can never change people's minds about their bias towards fat people, colored people and women, Dietland achieves in multiple categories that most fictional programs about struggling with one's weight does not.

08/21/2018

This is a man hating show that would never be accepted if it were about killing women accused of terrible things. This divides us instead of uniting us so we need to move away from this kind of hate .

Loving it. Can't wait for season 2.

Took me a few episodes to appreciate the humor and wonderful acting. A real life take on what women have gone through over the years. Actor who plays Plum is fabulous and Julianne M. is always a treat to watch. Don't feel the murderous theme is necessary or needed.
