Emma Stone chose to do Netflix's Maniac in part to reunite with Jonah Hill
“I love Jonah. I had worked with him on the first movie I ever so it was, like, 11 years later,” Stone said of her Superbad co-star, in an Elle interview with fellow Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence. “Obviously lots of things have happened in the past 11 years, so it was nice to just get to be around each other.” She also offered another reason: "The thing I liked about Maniac was that it’s about people who have their own internal struggles and are trying to fix them with a pill.”

Insatiable is yet another TV show that puts thin actors in bizarre-looking fat suits
From Fat Monica on Friends to Fat Schmidt on New Girl, TV producers like to use a "bizarre fat suit motif," says Amy Amatangelo. "There’s a segment of writers, producers, and showrunners who think you can just stick an actor in a fat suit and the jokes write themselves. Hilarity ensues," she says. As "Fatty Patty," Debby Ryan's Insatiable character looks especially bizarre. As Amatangelo notes, "Ryan is stuffed into clothes that are too tight for her fat-suited body and her face is distorted. Why do they do that when they decide to make someone overweight? Do they not know that people who aren’t a size zero actually have proportional and not warped faces? That people who are a size 14 can find clothes that fit them?"
