Netflix’s ‘Insatiable’ gets second season

Only 11 percent of Rotten Tomatoes critics liked it and it scored a dismal 23 out of 100 on Metacritic. But among regular viewers, 83 percent of 2,820 Rotten Tomatoes users liked it and it received a respectable 7.2 out of 10 on Metacritic.

That’s a massive differential but obviously for Netflix, viewership trumps critics.

The show, about a teenager who seeks revenge on her bullying enemies after losing weight by taking part in pageants, was criticized for its uneven tone, for leaden jokes about sexual predation and an unsophisticated approach toward weight loss, among other things.

The streaming service does not release ratings but Deadline.com says available streaming data says the show has been successful.
