No one is hitting markers or milestones, or figuring anything out.
You don’t get that feeling with Insecure. In fact, a threshold of growth is narratively the reason to send series like them out to pasture… there’s nowhere left to go. You look at other shows that might be grouped in for tackling similar issues at a similar stage of life- Girls is the easiest comparison, and maybe Broad City or Girlfriends-and you clock where the characters are in the final episodes as growth. The Secrets of the Best Show on TV Right Now: ‘The Baby-Sitters Club’īut I can’t think of a series that has done it better, and then reflected that narrative back on itself in the way that it tells stories and films them. Of course it’s a show about growth, and of course a fifth and final season is going to explore what that looks like. This is a coming-of-age series about a woman, Issa ( creator and star Issa Rae) and her friends navigating the awkward stages of becoming full-fledged adults, figuring out what that means for their love lives, professional lives, and personal fulfillment.
That’s almost too lazy of an observation when it comes to the praise that Insecure, in fine form again as one of the best series on television, deserves, and certainly seems obvious. GIF has become a somewhat defining viral moment for Insecure, because it represents so accurately what the series is about and, more than that, actually accomplished-as proven by the four episodes that I’ve seen of the new and final season, which starts Sunday on HBO. Tell your coworker that when your boss sent that annoying email, you did not reply back with a passive-aggressive note. Report back to someone that, yes, you were drunk last night, but, no, you did not text your ex. Brag to your friend that you made dinner instead of ordering delivery for the fifth night in a row. You can use it to be snarky or to be earnest.
