For years Patty was overweight, which caused her to be bullied, ignored and underestimated by the people around her. But she is now thin and seeking revenge against those who ever made her feel bad about herself through fat-shaming. Enter Bob Armstrong, a disgraced attorney with a passion for coaching beauty pageant contestants. As one of the only people who sees Patty's potential, he takes her under his wing -- first as a legal client, then as a pageant contestant. Bob hopes to coach Patty to the top of the pageant game, but he and wife Coralee have no idea how deep her rage goes or how far she will go to exact revenge on the people she feels have wronged her.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Broad stereotypes, clumsy social commentary, and a failed attempt at "wokeness" make Insatiable hard to swallow.

Michael Idato Sydney Morning Herald 05/14/2019
[Insatiable] lacks dimension, its characters are unsteady on their narrative feet and while it might seem funny, irreverent and boundary-pushing at times, it lacks those characteristics in enough volume to sustain itself. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 05/14/2019
The performers are fine, but they are left hanging by the script, as it drifts in and out of confusion. Go to Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 12/13/2018
Broadly cynical about pageants. It's cynical about everything... Beyond that, though, Insatiable has no clear intention. Go to Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews 07/11/2024
The truth about Insatiable is this: it’s messy, obnoxious, and sometimes, it’s funny. But underneath all its silliness, beyond all the entertaining drama, its reflection of society is real, uncensored and at times, triggering. Go to Full Review Sophie Charara NME (New Musical Express) 04/28/2021
Where do we even start with this fatsuit-to-skinny teen show? Go to Full Review Andy Swift TV Line 05/14/2019
The premiere is a hodgepodge of fluctuating accents, conflicting tones and clunky exposition, which is a pretty accurate representation of the series as a whole. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Bradley F @bdfortin Feb 7 Gross. CSAM. Episode 7 features a sex tape of Patty and Christian. Patty doesn’t turn 18 until Episode 10. She’s 17 in the sex tape. That’s child porn. How did that get approved?! See more Steve J @Steve2112 Sep 28 Over the top and funny. As soon as I started watching this I thought I bet the critics hate it and the audience loved it. I came to Rotten Tomatoes and sure enough I was right. It’s supposed to have stereotypes, and it’s deliberately over the top for the cringe factor. And the struggle between her knowing she should live her best life for the sweetest revenge and her still acting in spite is what makes interesting and funny. See more Michelle M @RT43346837 Sep 25 This is one of the best shows I have watched. Hilarious, wild, insane plot. Highly entertaining and unfiltered. I wish they continued it. See more Noe G @Noec98 Sep 17 Absolutely hilarious See more Travis E @RT77212512 Aug 7 This show made me feel completely awful the whole time I watched it. I do not recommend at all, I repeat do NOT watch this show, EVER!! See more Ann Marie C @RT68208889 Jul 22 Insatiable suffered from a similar fate as Arrested Development, a show ahead of its time that was short-change and ultimately, cancelled by those who completely failed to appreciate the dark and delicious and utterly compelling irony of the series. I dissent! See more Read all reviews
