The series is not fat-shaming, transphobic or homophobic. It's the opposite, actually. The trans people from the LGBTQ people saved the day in one of the episodes, her best friend's story arc was handled respectfully and the series showed that becoming thinner didn't improve Patty's life. It's a DARK COMEDY. IT'S SATIRE. Of course it's a little on the edge. The first few episodes will make you feel ambivalent, but it gets better. Just keep watching and it's a decently entertaining watch.
Just gotta add, Dallas Roberts' acting, especially in the last few episodes, was incredible. I spent quite a while admiring all those ambivalent and conflicting emotions his face expressed.
