YMMV / Insatiable

• Anvilicious: Gripes with how the weight is dealt with in-series aside, the show is often criticized for its social commentary being extremely ham-fisted at best and downright tone-deaf at worst.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The show gets really weird overall in the later episodes, but the strangest part by far is when Patty, having been spiked with drugs, hallucinates that a talking donut encourages her to give into her selfish desires, and proceeds to do a complete 180 in her character arc and coldy dump Brick as a result.
• Bile Fascination: A lot of people hate watched the series after seeing the raving reviews on it. A few reviews say that the amount of sheer hate-watching was sufficient to increase views and warrant a second season for the show.
• Cliché Storm: A lot of reviews pointed out that this is a problem of the show, saying that it relies on doing the predictable and what already has been done before.
• Critical Dissonance: Most professional critics gave the show low scores, but home audiences' response was mostly positive. As of mid-August 2018, its scores by critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes are respectively 11% and 84%. However a closer look at these positive accounts by Into finds these reviews might not be legitimate.
• Diagnosed by the Audience: Patty clearly exhibits some severe rage issues and a propensity towards self-centeredness and “magical thinking,” (amongst other issues). Bob Armstrong even flippantly suggests that she has Borderline Personality Disorder.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Nonnie seems to be a fan favorite, with her frequently pointing out the ridiculousness of the other characters schemes and the fact that her coming out story is treated more seriously than any other plot in the show. Many have expressed that they wished the show had been about her instead of Patty.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In one episode of The Suite Life On Deck, Debby Ryan’s character Bailey argues in defense of beauty pageants.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: The series had been branded as "fat-shaming" ever since its announcement, prompting several activist groups to create petitions for its cancellation even before it premiered.
• Special Effect Failure: Another major criticism of the show is that the fat suit and prosthetics to make Debby Ryan appear overweight are pretty weak.
• Spiritual Adaptation: The basic premise is nearly identical to the 1973 made-for-TV-movie The Girl Most Likely To..., written by Joan Rivers. In that film, Stockard Channing plays a college student mocked for her very unflattering appearance before getting into a car accident that results in her undergoing plastic surgery that turns her beautiful. She then embarks on a killing spree on all of those that mocked her.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: A major point of criticism is that not only are the characters unpleasant and the overall tone rather mean-spirited, but that all conflict in the series happens for its own sake. As a result, any and all attempts at Character Development fall apart right away because if the characters actually did grow, they'd stop making themselves miserable.
