If You Haven't Seen Issa Rae's Show Insecure, You Better Get On It!

In This Article:

Its real, its raw, its funny AF, Insecure is a show that will have you dying of laughter and catching real-life moments most late 20-year-olds experience in life. For those who have never heard of the HBO show Insecure, the show centers around the life of Issa Dee, a young Black woman who struggles to navigate her professional and romantic life. Issa is from Inglewood, California who struggles to fit in at work by being the only Black person in a white-dominated non-profit organization that helps inner-city students in Los Angeles with their education. At work Issa experiences microaggression from her colleagues where she keeps from lashing out at them by talking to herself in the mirror which are the best scenes in the show! Issa confronts herself in the mirror by talking to herself or at time rap to pump herself up just like us when we are alone in the bathroom which is HELLA hilarious in the show! Take a look:

1. "I don't make love, I fuck"

2. "Do you want your man or nah?"

Some mirror scenes in the show tie in with her love life which is complicated throughout the series. Without giving much of the show and her relationship status all I can say is that Issa is a savage! Her love life consists of a long-time relationship, cheating, friends with benefits, and broken hearts. For those who watch the show people are either team Lawrence (that's me!) or team Daniel. Personally, Issa's love life is one of the reasons why I get eager for the next episodes throughout the series. You never know what is going to happen with the men in Issa's life since she is going through her "Hoe" phase. Besides her professional and romantic life friendship is also a theme in the show. Molly Carter is Issa's best friend and for those who women who have a best friend for friends you know how real and funny talks can get when you hit your twenties.

3. Please prepare yourself for the epic season 3

Overall this show is fantastic, people within their 20's through 30's can relate to this show regarding any gender. The show is filmed in Los Angeles specifically around Inglewood, Baldwin Hills, Mid-City, Santa Monica, and Malibu. The show also exhibits great music from artists such as Miguel, SZA, GoldLink, and Frank Ocean. This comedy-drama is too good to miss, it has been nominated for two Emmys this year just to show how great the show is. You will find yourself laughing out loud and binge-watching seasons 1 and 2 once you start the pilot episode, but don't worry because season 3 comes right your way on Sunday, August 12th on HBO!

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning.

Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
