What is refreshing is the friendships in this series are honest and empathetic.
Clearly rooted in experience, Insecure finds the funny in Issa's spirited -- often raunchy -- chats with her best pal (Yvonne Orji), and in scenes where she raps out confidence-building affirmations in front of her bathroom mirror.
Rae has produced a series that feels revolutionary just by poking fun at the life of an average, twentysomething black woman.
Issa the character may be a work in progress, but the woman writing and playing her knows exactly what she's doing.
The characters get more and more likable, and the balance between comedy and drama is perfectly tuned in that we laugh but also get to know these people.
The new HBO show Insecure is anything but. It is smart, funny, alive and complex and seems to know precisely what it wants to be.
Audience Reviews for Insecure: Season 1
HBO's recent choices in greenlighting comedies is very dubious, Insecure is one of them. It tells the misadventure of two African American women. The jokes were really forced, almost slapstick like. I can't stand the plot (if there is one) and the language of these people. Again, critics sacrificed their integrity for the sake of "diversity".

Westworld is cool and all but Insecure is the show I look forward to the most each week! Refreshing as F**k!
