Modern-day black women might be described as strong and confident; in other words, just the opposite of Issa and Molly. As the best friends deal with their own real-life flaws, their insecurities come to the fore as together they cope with an endless series of uncomfortable everyday experiences. Created by co-star Issa Rae and writer/comic Larry Wilmore ("The Daily Show With Jon Stewart"), the comedy series looks at the friendship of two black women in a unique, authentic way. It features the music of both indie and established artists of color, and touches on a variety of social and racial issues that relate to the contemporary black experience.

A story of friendship and ambition, a love letter to Black women and Los Angeles... Go to Full Review Julia Ioffe The Atlantic 05/23/2018
With a subtle comic touch, Insecure has tackled such thorny issues as workplace discrimination, the clumsiness of well-meaning whites, gentrification, and gender and class identity. Go to Full Review Alexis Okeowo The New Yorker 12/29/2017
The authenticity of their relationship harkens back to such nineties shows as Living Single and Girlfriends, series that feel like artifacts of what black-female friendship can look like onscreen if written by people who know what they're talking about.

Insecure is funny, witty and pulls at the heart strings. Go to Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) 07/09/2018
The HBO series does not have any of the insecurities that drag its characters and has hit the table with its second season. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Julie McDowall The National (Scotland) 06/28/2018
Obviously it has been compared with Sex And The City, but it has a greater sense of rough reality to it. This isn't about thin, pretty rich women swanning around Manhattan with a cocktail and a tulle skirt. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Marnie B @RT51306932 Apr 9 It’s a decent show- easy to follow can be kind of repetitive imo I’m only on season 2 so far. I like watching this when I’m doing work or studying. The main thing that bugs me is the sheer amount of hardcore sex scenes they’re unnecessary quite vulgar if I’m being honest and doesn’t really do anything for the plot. This criticism is not limited to just insecure but in general I’m tired of it in general.

Following characters in their respective journeys to tackling their issues is fascinating and enjoyable. See more Yohann P @YohannKP 03/21/2021 Insecure steps it up for its second season. With excellent writing, impeccable performances, and a plotline worth getting invested in, Insecure is one of the freshest comedies out there. There are definitely many more 'laugh out loud' moments than in Season 1 as Issa Rae perfects the balance between comedy and drama. The show explores interesting perspectives on themes like racism and love. Filled with balanced and complex characters who are as likable as they aren't, Insecure Season 2 is worth watching and has a lot of potential for the future. See more 01/16/2020 Such a fan. Love the writing. See more 09/16/2019 Season 2 every bit as good as season 1 See more Read all reviews
