    Best show ever

    I wasn't expecting that much and wow I was so wrong. All the characters are so good created that you actually know them. I feel each of them represents an archetype and it was so cool to see them growing and facing adulthood through the seasons.

    This series is actually a really good one for adulthood. I've watched so many teen shows and not really a good one for people in their lays 20s. They show us really common topics like finding yourself, redirecting your professional path, relationships, standards, dealing with change.

    I enjoyed it tons and made me feel seen and represented in so many ways. It was such a nice feeling seeing that it's ok not to have all the answers at 30 yo. If you have the opportunity watch it and go through life with Issa and her amazing amazing crew.

    Easily one of my favourite shows the last 5 years

    I absolutely love this show!!! Covers so many relationship dynamics and societal commentary. The show is relatable and HILARIOUS!! Kelly and Issa make me laugh WAY TOO MUCH. Really sad this will be the last season but so far season 5 has not disappointed!!! GREAT SHOW!!!!

    Relatable

    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.

    The show should be called "Immature"

    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...

    One of the best series of all times.

    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.
