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.

Throughout the third season, this core relationship loses screen time to unnecessary scenes that center the men around them. Go to Full Review
Jonathan P. Higgins, Ed.D. Shadow and Act 11/05/2019
The writers of Insecure said they weren't going to hold back this season and let's just say, the opener gave us all that and more. Go to Full Review
Tonja Renée Stidhum Shadow and Act 10/31/2018
As the series' titular concept hints, insecurity is the main theme for each main character's arc, and this time, Daniel's (Y'lan Noel) is on full display. Go to Full Review
Rhodé Marshall City Press (South Africa) 04/15/2020
Season three of Insecure is out, and it might just be the most relatable season yet, this time focusing on the psychological helplessness of hitting your thirties without a game plan. Go to Full Review

While other shows may cast black supporting characters, seldom do we see our unique life experiences centered. Go to Full Review

From the Rae-penned Season 3 opener, the series and its main character has now become an excellent portrait of an exercise in frustration. Go to Full Review

Daryl D @DmacVisuals 01/28/2023 Issa on her rebuilding arc See more 11/14/2021 Issa Rae and her writing crew are refining their tried-and-true process for creating conflict that always seems to make sense on behalf of both opposing parties, which is Insecure's calling card as perhaps the best contemporary drama show currently running. However, season 3 is somewhat held back by its tendency to time-skip in between episodes while failing to make audiences fully aware of the skip, leading to some contextual confusions at the start of some episodes. See more 01/16/2020 Still loving it. Issa, Molly, and Kelly are all brilliant characters. So looking forward to the next season. See more 09/16/2019 Season 3 every bit as good as season 2 See more 01/10/2019 Season 3 sucked. Period. See more jon c 10/18/2018 Issa Rae returns for a 3rd season of 'Insecure' Way more emotional turmoil last time and Issa is in a tough spot more than ever She’s kicked out of her apartment and resorts to sleeping on her bf’s couch whilst looking for work, her business is also looking to reshape it's image she feels that the employers reach out to everyone of every race yet it's lacking in people in color itself is the white hand on the logo racist itself? it may be time for her to leave this line of work behind and do something better Molly comes back from vacation hoping to reassess some things in her life; she even moves up in the world becoming a partner at an all-black attorney's office but who knows if she's ready for dating again Daniel tries to put together new music as well their friend Tiffany is expecting so they put together one last hoorah to go all out Laurence returns as well as unbeknownst to Issa a lot has happened in the finale Issa just wants a normal 30th birthday but when is it ever like that considering all the drama that's followed her? it cant be just one gay to represent all gays much like one black woman to represent all blacks educational institutions can get upset about the lack of representation for all why do black employees always struggle? whites always expect blacks to be conditioned when it comes to trust sometimes you gotta go for something even if it makes no sense to others, you can't let others do things for you, sometimes you have to make things happen for yourself, double standards are real for both men and women a much shorter season this time around but Issa comes out a much more changed woman; can she get it all together? only the future will tell for her and her friends See more Read all reviews
