Insatiable told the story of Patty Bladell, a girl who was bullied for years because of her weight, and then took her revenge on her tormentors after she found herself suddenly thin.
The show proved to be controversial before it even aired, with a petition calling for Netflix to pull it from release over concerns that it promoted fat shaming. The backlash got so intense that series creator Lauren Gussus begged viewers to give it a chance, saying that the story drew on her own personal experiences.
