How satisfying is the first season of the Dietland TV show on AMC? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Dietland is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we’d like to offer you the chance to rate all of the Dietland season one episodes here.
An AMC comedy-drama, Dietland stars Joy Nash, Julianna Margulies, Robin Weigert, Adam Rothenberg, Tamara Tunie, Erin Darke, Rowena King, Will Seefried, Ricardo Davila, Tramel Tillman, Campbell Scott, Alanna Ubach, Kelly Hu, Marc Blucas, Ami Sheth, and Jen Ponton. The action centers on Daisy Chain magazine ghost writer, Plum Kettle (Nash). As this perpetual dieter starts to broaden her perspective on self-worth and feminism, someone starts taking out men who have been accused of sexual abuse and assault. Now Plum is caught between two worlds, while she is still trying to make sense or her own life.

9/20/18 update: AMC has cancelled Dietland so there won’t be a second season. Details here.
I think the show is just ok. I liked it in the beginning, but then I felt the message was all over the place. What are the writers trying to convey? Being fat and not being accepted? Being a woman in society and being discriminated against and violated? That it happens just to fat women or all women? I’m confused. Julianna Margulies is horribly thin in this role. Is this on purpose to prove a point? That only thin women get to be in power? And the women in Jennifer are not the most attractive. Why can’t attractive women be… Read more »
I am following this show from the get go – I think it is another great AMC show that handles a tricky subject with dark humour and I look forward to the next episode – I believe in the women’s content and right to speak in a context that is not only entertaining but pushing to the edge – the acting is sublime – many comments before me say what I think is true – (the positive ones) -I sure hope this show is renewed – I am sick ones I mean – please give this series a chance to… Read more »
Like the show . Please renew it. I would really like to see the journey plum takes.
I had to watch these twice (or more) to wrap my head around what this show was saying. Each time, I understood more, and had more questions. I am very intrigued and want to see where this show goes! Keep it going!
My husband and I taped this then watched 6 consecutive episodes. We both liked it and think it has a relavent and relatable storyline with interesting characters and an intriguing mystery with lots of potential. Please don’t cancel as we cannot wait to see where this story goes.
I think the show is wonderful because it not only focuses on diet but on a female’s image as a whole. It allows females to look from within themselves to find true happiness as they accept who they are on the outside no matter what the public may think.
There are some intriguing elements, so I keep watching bc I’m a fat girl. I’m not yet sure whether it has the critical teeth to do anything but remind fat girls of our lives. It depends a lot upon who’s watching & whether any among us viewers might take what we see & really consider it, write about it, see it in its right-now zeitgeist. Part of me wants to, but I’m not sure whether it has that certain something to really spark questions & theses. I’m considering it as sth that might, bc I’m a critic like that; I’m… Read more »
Like it so far.
Hated it
So far you are the only negative one. Good….I wrote some negative things it about too. The writers were all over the place. They lost their message on what they wanted to convey. Nothing made sense after awhile. Started out good. But had nothing to do with Diets. It should be called Victimhood! 🙂
