When pageant contests keep getting murdered, everyone points the finger at Patty. The cast is hilarious with over-the-top characters yet remains tactful when dealing with more serious storylines like Nonnie exploring her sexuality and Patty learning to love herself. Insatiable is lighthearted in comparison to Wedding Season, but a darkly funny mystery worth watching.
