    Loving this show. Sorely needed. Exciting seeing the everyday struggles and triumphs of black singles in La. Reminds me of sex in the city - a show that sorely missed the mark in totally ignoring black and brown New Yorkers. Thank you.

    This show speaks to me because being a black woman in my 20's, life can be wild and unexpected. It good to find humor it in.

    Love this character! She's real, refreshing, constantly evolving and like no other currently on television. I am eager to see what else she gets into. The scenarios are endless because this character has so much unmined territory. I only hope the network and the viewing public give her the chance. So far she has dealt with the complexities of male/female relationships for millennials from the educated black female perspective, how "girlfriends" (platonic female friends) keep you sane, and trying to remain true to oneself in a hostile work environment. Unlike "Girlfriends", a comedy about four black women that aired for eight seasons beginning in 2000, "Insecure" breaks it (real life) down. We are allowed inside Issa's head and can feel her insecurities, the doubts that make her second guess herself and act, often, foolishly. We also see how she shakes the foolishness off and finds a way of working it out. The language and situations are often raw--in your face, but that is an aspect of its realness. "Insecure" brings "Girlfriends" all the way into the 21st century void of the restrictions, mediation and second-guessing that the Tracee Ellis Ross sit-com was subject to. Hopefully, America's viewing public is finally ready for it.

    HBO's new series "Insecure" is funny and the script has a sharp tone and it's mouth is witty and brash and all of this comes out just fine from Issa Rae(a "You Tube" and web star)who makes this series work just fine. It involves the life and times of one Issa Dee as a modern black woman in California who's a school teacher and she's just trying to figure it all out with the world of life, love, and relationship. All while this is going on Issa sees how her world and others is always connected with race, gender, and culture, and the experiences are almost always racy and very blunt. Aside from Issa being a sexy colored bra wearing black female she's brash and to bold with her outspoken mouth, yet her best friend the elegant and upscale Molly(Yvonne Orji)tries to keep her on the straight and narrow road of life. Overall this series may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it's a brash, blunt, racy take on the life of a single black lady still it entertains in a fun and modern outspoken sexy way that will win with many viewers.
