Survival of the Thickest is currently streaming in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix, and its 7/10 TMDB rating reflects what viewers who've already found it know. 3 seasons that reward every hour invested.
Part of the current wave of streaming-era originals, Survival of the Thickest follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. Black, plus-size and newly single, Mavis unexpectedly finds herself having to rebuild her life after putting all her eggs in one man's basket, but she's determined to not only survive but thrive with the support of her chosen family. Michelle Buteau leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 3 seasons (2023–2025), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
