Insatiable: Season 1 – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While Insatiable does have a few buds which could have grown, the overuse of terrible jokes and storylines suffocate what could have bloomed.

Can a show jump the shark in its first season? Such needs to be asked considering what Patty does this time to escalate the show’s drama.
Just as Patty starts her redemption tour, she does something evil again. Meanwhile, the Bobs figure out how to deal with their respective marriages.
For her birthday, and to redeem herself, Patty allows herself to be roasted. As that happens, the Bobs deal with knowing they’ll have to come out one way or another.
As Patty deals with the idea she has a demon inside of her, Bob A wrestlers with his sexual orientation.
From a demon twin, Bob A telling the whole truth about Stella Rose, and Bob B revealing multiple secrets, episode 8 is plain ole ridiculous.
On top of it being Miss Magic Jesus, we learn Stella Rose is Roxy’s momma! Leading to the question of: Is Bob the father?
As Nonnie comes to terms with her sexuality, new character, Pastor Mike, has many thinking about the way they’ve been acting.
As the episode addresses body dysmorphia, trans issues, and Nonnie’s sexuality, we get a slight reprieve from what Insatiable usually puts out.
Insatiable continues to deliver mixed results as its form of comedy mixes with situations which could make this seem like a decent show.
While Insatiable still courts some serious awkwardness, it keeps trying to balance that out with the insecurities of its character – but not by much.
While the title of the episode does poke the bear a bit, becoming skinny not fixing the trauma Patty experienced is also in full effect.
Insatiable’s pilot really does show that we live in a time that lacks trust and takes to being offended easily, simply off a headline.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
