A-

Issa's heartbreak and regret over Lawrence pushed the show to emotional depths that made Insecure undeniably more than a "black show."

While things might not be "Hella Great" for the characters, Insecure's second season premiere feels like reconnecting with an old friend, picking up right back where you left off, and immediately judging said friend for their poor life choices.

Don't tease me like that. As soon as I saw Issa sitting with Lawrence, my spirit was like "nah, issa set up." My spirit don't never lie. The true opening to the new season is a montage of Issa on random dates with brothas she done swiped right on.
