Degrading fatphobic garbage
This series, like many others, resorts to the stereotype of making humor at the expense of overweight people. They laugh at them and not with them, by making their existence a joke and posing that they are all unhappy, dirty, lonely, bitter and that they only exist either to contemplate their own death or to want to lose a lot of weight, adapt to beauty standards and fall in love with someone attractive.And I'm not talking about the “being fat is unhealthy” debate, because in any case, being extremely thin isn't either. But it is despicable to see a series bent on the idea that a woman can only be happy if she becomes socially accepted for her beauty. There is never any genuine or interesting reflection on how society pressures women to follow unattainable standards of beauty, never is the necessary message sent that all people deserve dignity and happiness no matter what body they have.
Instead we get stupid humor, exaggerated characters and ridiculous fantasy about the origin of the mystical perfume that makes you lose weight. I also didn't need to see the protagonist's abusive husband for so long.
