Review of Dietland

Dietland (2018)
2/10
Love the premise, bored by the execution
6 July 2022
It's completely mislabeled as a comedy, and while the premise and ideas this show is reaching toward are extremely compelling to me, in the three episodes I watched I did not find them to cohere well enough to actually be interesting to watch. Maybe if it moved faster and had more interesting bits; a lot of it feels like filler. Verena's plan is so confusing and poorly explained. Some of the characters are so boring - they don't feel realistic as people, and they're not dimensional or interesting. It's good enough that I wish it was better, but unfortunately it's just not written tightly or cleverly enough to hold my attention.
