Netflix’s dark comedy, Insatiable, which faced considerable backlash and was accused of promoting fat shaming before it even premiered, has been cancelled by the streaming giant after two seasons. The series followed Patty (Debby Ryan), who for years has been bullied, ignored and underestimated by those around her because of her weight. But now that she finds herself suddenly thin, Patty is out for payback against anyone who has ever made her feel bad about herself.

Season 1 endured a backlash over a month before it premiered in August 2018. In July of that year, a Change.org petitioned gathered over 100,000 signatures demanding that Netflix pull the series. Lauren Gussis created the series and served as executive producer alongside Ryan Seacrest among others.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
