A lot of shows when they first appear give two or three episodes to "professional reviewers." This show did that. And when it did at least one accused it of "fat shaming" in large part because Debby Ryan who plays the lead female Patty Bladell wears a fat suit in the pilot episode so she can go from an overweight teenager to a "suddenly thin and beautiful" teenager in what amounts to a half hour episode. So many people down voted and one starred this hating it from the on start without thinking about what the show was trying to actually say which was that being thin and beautiful didn't fix any of Patty's problem's.
Season 2 even deals with the question that Patty's weight was a condition of her overriding problem not the source of them. That Patty has far bigger problems then her inability to stop eating her feelings.
This is a dark comedy that plays murder for laughs. It also deals with a lot of different kinds of relationships including a couple of thruples. The two Bobs are hilarious and Alyssa Milano is really good in this (but she may not be back for season 3 if ongoing politics in Georgia do not go her way).
So if you look at the 6.5 rating and want to pass on it don't. Half of the one star reviews are by people who read the fat shaming article and never bothered to watch this in the first place.
