    She trying to portray herself as hip and totally cool. All the cussing it's just crap. Could care less to watch this persons life play out on TV. Turning the channel......

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
