Insatiable S2 - Sep 30

Obligatory disclaimer: real life sucks. So, we turn to TV land, and what do we see there?

These days – the autumn of 2019 – a lot of brand new, forgettable shows, such as ‘Bob hearts Abishola’, ‘Prodigal Son’, ‘Stumptown’ and so on. So, what does Netflix do instead? Does it jump on the wagon of newness? No, it is going to release the second season of ‘Insatiable’ instead. Why?

…Well, the obvious reason is that someone in the higher ranks of Netflix wasn’t getting enough head; they demanded it, and were told that in return ‘Insatiable’ was to get its’ second season. After doing some research and learning that the really good hos that gave the really good head were really expansive, whereas to shoot, produce and air the second season of ‘Insatiable’ would be the cheaper option out of the two, the high-level Netflix member went for the cheaper option – ‘Insatiable’ S2, and here we are: it is going to air on October 11, 2019, in less than two weeks from today, (aka September 30, 2019). The end.

…Sorry for being so crude, but as we have discussed before, ‘Insatiable’ isn’t any good, but is very cringeworthy; it has pissed enough people with the way it has handled WG and WL issues (including social acceptance of overweight people, among other things), so the best thing would’ve to let it go, no matter how good Debbie Ryan is as an actress. Instead, we got S2. Sigh. Maybe this time ‘Insatiable’ will leave the weight-related issues behind and be just a drama-comedy instead, teen-related or not, but I am not betting on this. Anything else?

…The other shows that have come out in autumn 2019 seem to be overwhelmingly bland and forgettable; for example, the aforementioned ‘Bob’ is a collection of bland, politically correct skits; the show was supposedly produced by the same people that gave us TBBT – this decade’s answer to ‘Friends’. It most certainly was – both shows started as part awkwardly adorable, part cringeworthily stereotypical, and over time evolved into oversized monsters that have overstayed their welcome. TBBT’s spirit already lives on in ‘Young Sheldon’, which feels less like a prequel and more like a spin-off of some sort sometimes. That said, so far ‘Bob’ has nothing in common with TBBT, so to connect the latter with the former is just pointless right now.

‘Stumptown’ is somewhat better, but so far it is putting most of its money on Cobie Smulders, better known as agent Maria Hill from MCU, (including AoS, but only very sporadically). Will she deliver? – again, we will just have to wait and see. (The rest of the new shows are not that different in a better way, alas).

…Yes, this is a sombre entry into the blog, but as I said above, real life sucks. Just ask the Canadian West, which got hit with a lot of snow yesterday/today. It is not pretty, and yet people there got to live with it – but that is life. You got to live with it, until you die – just like the skunk that I have come across on a street, since it was already dead when I discovered it. And we are talking about a striped skunk, whose skunk stench packs quite a punch. Of course, between us humans, you can try to do something else – but if this ‘something else’ turns out to be illegal, (and that is a highly likely scenario), then you got new problems on top of the old ones, and that just makes it all worse. Or better, if you are an optimist, unlike me, who is a pessimist instead. Still, since ‘Insatiable’ is coming back with an S2 on October 11, 2019, it is hard to be an optimist. Real life sucks, and MM (mass media) does everything to make it worth.

This is it for now, I guess. See you all soon!
