This is a spoiler-free advance review for the double-episode premiere of AMC’s Dietland – “Pilot” and “Tender Belly” – which airs Monday, June 4th.
Dietland – which is off to a solid start with its two-episode premiere – is a show saddled with a name that’s going to make viewers initially think it’s something that it isn’t. That is, if the name just doesn’t steer people away entirely. Like our beloved Terriers (RIP!) of the past, the name Dietland doesn’t really give one a sense of story. It certainly doesn’t make you think “dark-ish mix of satire and sincerity that skewers the toxic beauty standards that exist to subjugate women while also acting as a timely companion for the #MeToo movement.”
