Rae’s triumph on Insecure is in making a smart, funny show about issues both universal and specific. It’s a brilliant commentary on love and friendship that manages to bring a fresh vision to the table, and that by itself feels quietly revolutionary.
In other words: they’re actual, believable people. It’s easy to root for them even as it hurts to watch them stumble--a combination that makes Insecure an immediate force to be reckoned with.

A refreshing, brilliant and strong voice in comedy. This truly could be the best new comedy show, besting Atlanta. What's refreshing about this is that it's a bold and honest depiction of the life of the ordinary black woman in america, something we don't get to witness on television without the usual stereotypes.

SEASON 1
Like FX's Atlanta, the season’s best new comedy, Insecure is fighting, and winning, a two-front war: Exploring what's different about the black experience while reminding us that much of that experience is shared by us all. There’s nothing limited or limiting about Insecure.
Who is the real Issa? Neither... or more likely both. That’s the series, and also the wellspring of the humor, which tends to be fleeting, subtle or, in a few instances, flat-out funny.
At first, the relative inexperience of the cast shows, but they settle in over subsequent episodes, and the writing starts strong and gets better. Insecure is a remarkably observant show about “big issues” like race, class and education, but they’re woven into the fabric of a character study.
Insecure comes off as insightful, witty, and sincerely delightful, even as its narrative backbone is formed by tremendous philosophical concepts.
Seems less a sitcom than a character study inflected by melancholy humor and hip-hop idioms. It sometimes tries a bit too hard to flash its street credentials (the episodes all have titles like "Messy as Fuck" and "Thirsty as Fuck"), but that's more than compensated for by its obdurate refusal to bill itself as the master narrative of black women. It's content to be the piquant story of two confused friends trying to navigate the uncertainties of the young-adult world.
Casually honest and skillfully paced this adaptation of a small time YouTube series about an awkward black girl takes intresting new heights. Giving a real refreshing depiction of the young black female perspective.

SEASON 1
Insecure is a show that I saw for the first time on July 23, 2017 (the season 2 premiere). And I have to say that it is one of the better shows on TV. Insecure spits out comedy, drama, and relatability. Issa Rae (the star of the show and the creator of the show) is a serious TV star and she is fun to watch on this show, as are her co-stars led by Yvonne Orji (who plays Issa's best friend Molly). Insecure will make you laugh out loud, it will educate you, and it will make you look at life a different way than what you've been doing. I wish this show was on for an hour instead of just 30 minutes, but 30 minutes is better than no Insecure at all.

SEASON 1
This is a fantastic, original new show. What I love most as a white guy from Australia is getting a window into another part of American society. The characters are engaging and feel like real people. Its not a show with exciting climaxes and plot twist, rather the interest comes from the day-to-day drama people everywhere manage to get themselves into. Highly recommended

SEASON 1
This isn't funny, it's just awkward.
Some kids are making fun of this woman for not being married and a host of other reasons and she's very uncomfortable. That's the opening scene. I don't remember much after that. It's dull, too!
People comparing it to Atlanta are weird, racist and out of their minds.
