As Netflix puts it, the story of their new series Insatiable is ‘full of crazy shit’. However, after dropping the trailer on social media there seem to be some mixed reactions, to put it mildly. Since the internet is a perfect place to judge and share opinions, see the trailer and judge for yourself.

5. While Savannah is taking the stage, a lot of people agree and amen to that preach.
actress. You have the insight, budget and audience to do better. You really let us all down here. I hope you realize how hard it’ll be for me to feel good about you as a company after this. Do better. And fire whoever pushed this.

6. Her bottom line: ‘what the actual fuck, Netflix?’
Don’t get me wrong when I was young I would’ve given anything to punch people right in the face BUT I DIDNT BECAUSE HURTING PEOPLE BECAUSE YOURE HURTING ISNT HEALTHY. It doesn’t make those people respect or value you, just hate you for another reason. Netflix what the actual fuck

7. It is safe to say, the discussion is in full gear.
nah portraying fat people as a joke until they lose weight and having people suddenly respect and like them is so fucking gross and that mindset has got to go idk why yall keep making shows and movies like this but its not cute so keep it https://t.co/4nt51lWakB

8. Maya is here to blow minds.
how about a story about a fat girl who doesnt need to become skinny or get validation from others in order to realize her self-worth and learn to love herself no matter what, what a concept!!!!

9. So, is it that deep?
No no, it is that deep.

10. Alyssa Milano, who stars in the show, has reacted to all the criticism.
We are not shaming Patty. We are addressing (through comedy) the damage that occurs from fat shaming. I hope that clears it up. Also, this article does a good job of explaining it more: https://t.co/WoR8R7TjqR #Insatiable https://t.co/GFkDdsn1uh

11. Either way, it looks like Twitter is taking their own revenge before the first episode even started.
Making fun of plus-sized women ✔
Thin actress in a fat suit ✔
Being thin is the only way to be beautiful ✔
Beauty = self worth ✔
Outdated comedic trope of getting "revenge" on shitty classmates ✔
Get-thin-quick surgery bullshit instead of healthy living ✔lol wow https://t.co/8cJu2INZIT
