Will Patty Be Caught?
The monstrous abilities of Patty were on full display once again throughout Season 2, as she killed her supposed father Gordy (Dana Ashbrook), three goons who were after her mom, and Stella Rose (Beverly D’Angelo) for real this time. It had become increasingly difficult for Patty to navigate life with all the killings at risk of being exposed. This was a major question heading into Season 2, yet the problem significantly escalated. And based on the Season 2 ending, it seems Patty is not done yet. With no season 3 planned will we get the answers to all our burning questions?

“Insatiable” is about a 17-year-old girl who loses a lot of weight, immediately transforms into a bombshell, and gets recruited to become a beauty pageant queen. Yet no matter what assumptions you think you can make about the 12-episode narrative based on this seemingly straightforward plot summary, think again.

This was already quoted in the very first post.

In the very first episode of Netflix’s Insatiable, lead Patty Bladell (Debby Ryan) nearly sets a man on fire in a hotel room. “My demon was out — and she was hungry,” she says before deciding against homicide. But, by the end of the series’ second episode, “Skinny Is Magic,” that would-be victim, Patty's nemesis John (Daniel Thomas May), is dead after Patty wishes for his demise. From then on, a whopping six people die by Patty’s hand without question. Still, Insatiable plays the carnage around Patty as a necessary and oftentimes humorous tragedy, even into season 2. The deeply problematic black comedy suggests Patty isn’t a cold-blooded killer — she’s a teen put in terrible situations.

The critics left out "Hilarious!". Seriously, this show was delightfully over the top fluff and incredibly enjoyable. It was the twisted little offspring of dark comedy and satire; and I will sorely miss it.
