Huge

I know some large people, they aren't dessert binging, candy hoarding, self hating people. Some suffer injuries, some genetics, some probably gut biome damage. The world judges them harshly. Doctors tell them to "just eat less and exercise more" but that is also a judgement. Average people truly believe over eating high calorie foods is how you get fat. They really believe being fat is a failure of character because that is their self centered experience. The diet industry shoves this belief down everyone's throat because it's profitable. This 'failure of character', is the core of this show. Let's hope that awareness has risen since 2010. There is already enough pressure on young people, why is self hatred held up as a motivating force?

Wow.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I sat down to watch this - a fictional drama based around kids at a fat camp - if the rest of the episodes are anything like this one, I hope this series will have a long happy run. The characters are all genuine, the story was interesting without being too delicate around the subject of weight, particularly the more insidious side of weight loss, and it portrayed us 'fatties' in a realistic light. While I would always encourage a healthy lifestyle and wouldn't necessarily celebrate obesity, this series will hopefully provide a bunch of positive role models for youngsters who are challenged by their weight. Hayley Hasselhoff and Nikki Blonsky are like a breathe of fresh air. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be tuning in each week.

THIS SHOW WAS SUPER INSPIRATIONAL FOR WOMAN WHO ARE ON BIGGER SIDE IT TRULY IS SAD THAT THIS SHOW ENDED BEFORE IT REALLY HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE OFF I WOULD HAVE WATCHED EVERY SINGLE EPISODE FROM BEGINNING TO END THIS SHOW WAS LITERALLY A GREAT PROGRAM THAT REALLY DID NOT GET TO TRULY MAKE ITS DEBUT BEFORE THEY REMOVED IT FROM THE THE SCREENS SAYING THAT IT WAS FAR TOO CONTROVERSIAL BUT IN REALITY ALL SHOWS ARE CONTROVERSIAL I. E. TODDLERS IN TIERRAS, DANCE MOMS, BIG BROTHER, HUGE NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK ON AIR WITH THE 2 SAME GIRLS NIKKI BLONSKY AND CHRISTINE METZ.

I WOULD WATCH IT ALWAYS.....

Lately I've been feeling like I may just be too old to enjoy teen drama shows. But after watching all 10 episodes of Huge in a week, I've come to the conclusion that the issue is not my age but simply the mediocre nature of most shows aimed at teenagers.

Like most ABC Family series, Huge never got on my radar, but when I learned recently that "My So-Called Life" creator Winnie Holzman had made another series a few years ago I had to check it out.

It's a wonderful show, characters are complex, and the show reflects the emotional turmoil and poor decisions of teenagers without being soapy. While many series tend to create teen stereotypes, I believe in this group of people. And I found it fascinating to see the way people who were, in normal life, all outsiders, create cliques and ultimately do to others what was normally done to them. Nikki Blonsky was excellent as the rebellious Will, Gina Torres did a terrific job of creating a complex character uncomfortable in her own skin, and really, everyone in the cast was very good.

It's a shame this show was canceled. It was exactly the sort of intelligent, nuanced TV that there is not enough of in this world.

This show has a wonderful cast of young, talented actors that portray their characters in some of the best ways possible. I have enjoyed every episode of Huge so far. I love how real all aspects of this show are, I can identify and relate to the characters really well. "Huge" deserves a chance to show its viewers great entertainment for seasons to come. I can't wait to see what's in store for these characters!! Each one has a diverse story that keeps me coming back week after week. This is one of the freshest shows I have seen on television for awhile, there is nothing else like it on TV.

I am really surprised this show is the first role for some of these young actors. They are great at what they do, and really make you feel for the things they are experiencing on the show. If you've not checked "Huge" out yet, you can watch episodes on ABCFamily.com. You will not be disappointed.
