The quietly groundbreaking aspect of this season is just how little weight is given to her dating life and more toward her interior journey as an early 30-something black woman in Los Angeles.
-
There is no shortage of signature humor in Season 4.
-
It is not perfect. Like season three, it sometimes moves too slowly and the product placement occasionally feels relentless – especially when we get a closeup of a bottle of Lea & Perrins. But, ultimately, it takes us to an important place and shows that all of the progress the girls made can be undone without the right people around them.

Insecure remains funny and moving, a chill show about the hustle. ... There's a bit of specificity missing. [May 2020, p.85]

Watching Issa and Lawrence once again dance around each other and their history and witnessing Molly struggle in another relationship makes for repetitive storytelling, even if the friends' frustration with each other acknowledges this Möbius-strip behavior. Retreading old patterns isn't fun for friends, and it certainly isn't fun for viewers. ... The HBO comedy is as funny as ever, but I miss its lighter spirit.

Jul 27, 2020Great season - both things a bit of a surprise, and something's returning to the familiar. Issa still being Issa!
