Patty Bladell is a teenager who was constantly bullied in school for being overweight. After being on a liquid diet for three months over summer vacation because of a freak accident, she is now thin and seeks revenge on her bullies. A disgraced civil lawyer and obsessed beauty pageant coach, Bob Armstrong, notices Patty's potential and sets out to turn her into a pageant queen.
We read a number of plot summaries for the dark comedy, but none of them mentioned that 17-year-old Patty attempts to seduce Bob. Bob shared, "I had no idea she wanted to seduce me." Insatiable was surrounded by controversy due to ‘fat-shaming’, but no one seemed to voice any opposition to Patty's attraction to her coach.
Here are some examples of Patty's attraction to Bob:
Patty opines, referring to Bob, "He's a man and a total DILF (i.e., Dad I'd Love (to) Fuck)."
When Patty is told that Bob was (falsely) accused of being a child molester, she replied,"Which means I might actually have a shot!"
Patty justified her attempt to seduce Bob by stating, "Cleopatra had seduced some much older man, but I preferred a more contemporary role model. Drew Barrymore as Amy Fisher (i.e., the Long Island Lolita) - the greatest seductress in American history. "
She asked Bob, "Can I call you Daddy?"
And she planned, "In a couple of months I'd be 18, and then Bob's resting anus face wife would be the only thing left standing in my way."
The credits of the first episode relates that the series is based on Jeff Chu's New York Times article "The Pageant King of Alabama", but, interestingly, there is no mention of a potential age-gap affair in the source. Thus, unsurprisingly, the allure of the nymphet was added for entertainment.
