You know that new Netflix show we’ve been telling you about starring Alyssa Milano? Well, the press embargo is over and the reviews are coming in.
In summary, BOMBS AWAY!
In New York Magazine, it’s an “Utter Disaster”:
Netflix’s #Insatiable isn't as bad as you've heard. It’s actually worse, in ways that you can’t even anticipate. @chaneyj writes https://t.co/gQJK6SjIXu

BuzzFeed’s Jenna Guillaume said, “I have not been so uncomfortable and upset watching a show in a very long time”:
I watched every episode of INSATIABLE and it was a fat-shaming mess. I have not been so uncomfortable and upset watching a show in a very long time. https://t.co/48HogUSUl0

Variety’s Caroline Framke writes that “it’s, uh, not” the “empowering satire” it was billed as:
The line was that if we actually WATCHED Insatiable, we’d understand that it’s an empowering satire. So I watched Insatiable, and it’s, uh, not. https://t.co/ZiP1EySs92
