Insecure

My daughter introduced "Insecure" to me when it first premiered, but I wasn't feeling it at all. I've been married now close to 30 years and didn't think it was relevant to my 50+ age. However, she was on her 2nd round of re-watching this year and since it was the Christmas holidays, I said why not? Well, I binged the entire series over the weekend and fell in love with all of the characters and the scenarios were absolutely hilarious!

The characters/actors had mad chemistry. Yes, I've had friends 40+ years and throughout the years, we have experienced the breakdown in communication, not speaking, interest/conversation/viewpoint changes, etc., but at the end of the day, we're down for each other. My only constructive feedback is the use of the N word and the explicit sex scenes ( could have left some to the imagination, we get it ). Otherwise, no matter the age this show is relatable and so you know, it's not much different from the 80s/90s scene.

This is hands down an amazing series and in my opinion one of the best series of all time. Not top or number one, but it definitely deserves a spot on the list. It ranks! And the ending was so satisfying. A lot of series we love ended horribly. Not this one! I laughed, I cried, I fell in love with the characters and I hate to see this story end.

Great writing. Great acting. The only bad acting came from Kendrick Sampson (he is a terrible actor!) and the star of the show was Issa's hair! I loved how she showed natural women they can have beautiful, versatile styles.

Some reviews are complaining about sex scenes and a lot of stuff that y'all don't complain about with other series. Oh it's a problem on this show? I wonder why. Keep the selective outrage. This is an AMAZING show and Issa is a genius. I can't wait to see what the future holds for her.

Love this show, Issa, cast and crew poured so much love into this and you can see that on the screen. It really gives you an insight on the regular everyday lives people live something that wasn't show as much for people of colour on TV in the past, it's great this show explores that from relationships, to jobs, being an adult and dealing with other real life issues. The show has a lot of swag, is shot sophisticatedly capturing the characters environment and the situation they are in. Favourite season is Season 5. So well written and tied up with a final goodbye. The show really could have been 3-4 seasons and would have given us enough. One of the things I would improve, if this show was to be re done again is less use of the N word but I get it, it's part of the culture the characters grew up in. A recommended watch! Very easy to binge on as each episode is 30mins long, re watched multiple times.

I really enjoyed the first season and I thought the show would go in the direction of being intelligent and insightful. I also thought it would make a statement about negative African American stereotypes. However, I find Season 2 is just playing into many of the stereotypes unfortunately.

Season 2 lacks maturity, intelligence and purpose. The characters all come off as immature people who never left high school mentally even long after becoming working professionals. Also, none of the characters seem intelligent at all. Especially Issa and Lawrence. Those two always have a permanent confused/surprised look on their faces like the lights are on but nobody's home.

Hopefully, the story line will lead somewhere interesting and not just be 30 minutes of stereotypes every Sunday. There is not a single character on the show that isn't a black stereotype to some degree. Sigh...

This was so good! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Although I'm not in my 30s but I could relate to all these characters' problems. It's hard to find the right man, the right job, the right friends and when you found it it's even harder to keep them. I wish there would be more seasons. Issa's character is really loveable the places it was filmed are beautiful. Great series 👌
