If you are looking for a new show to watch over Thanksgiving break, you should definitely check out Netflix’s original series, Insatiable. This show currently has only 1 season, so the watch should be quick yet highly enjoyable. The show follows “Patty the Fatty”, played by Disney star Debby Ryan, and her transformation from an overweight bully victim with depression to a beautiful model with the perfect physique. The viewer gets to follow her journey to becoming a pageant star with the new experiences she receives through her new body. She is picked up by the infamous Robert Armstrong to coach her to the top of the pageant world. Because Robert Armstrong is the first man to ever respect Patty and treat her nicely (although it is only because she is now beautiful), Patty develops a crush for her married coach. This show is a great watch because it mixes drama and comedy very nicely. At parts when the show seems to get very dark and depressing, the humor brightens the shows atmosphere.

In conclusion, of you are in need of an enjoyable show to binge watch over Thanksgiving break, then you should definitely check out Insatiable.

At the beginning of this week, I started to watch the Netflix original series, Bojack Horseman. Bojack Horseman is a part satire part dramedy series which follows the current life of washed up 90’s television star, Bojack Horseman. He has no need to worry about money, although his main troubles include his depression and loneliness. For the first few episodes, the show is very lighthearted and enthralling with relatable and charismatic characters. At this point, their isn’t very much of a plot, and is more focused on the comedic aspects of Bojack’s life. Episode 3 brings a new character into the show who will definitely impact the future episodes because of how Bojack begins. Episode 4 is mainly a filler episode for the series, and lets the watcher get to know the characters and their pasts better. Episodes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are much more serious and dramatic, and is really a turning point in the series because it implements an actually story and conflict. Episode 11 is really unnecessary and is literally BoJack’s experience after taking 20 different drugs. Finally, in the last episode, BoJack’s life is settling down and just enjoying the new fame and fortune of his recent best-selling book. He is offered his dream role for a movie, Secretariat. This is where the season ends, and it is a great cliffhanger which leads into a great 2nd season.
