INSECURE?


Hello, and welcome back to Kay-tvtalk. The show I chose to talk about today is called Insecure. This show plays on HBO, and is about 35 minutes long. It just finished it’s second season, and each season is only about nine episodes so there is plenty of time to catch up.This show is literally one my favorite shows ever, and this is simply because of the authenticity this show portrays. The show was created by it’s co-star Issa Rae and the writer/comic Larry Wilmore. The show focuses on Issa and her best friend Molly as they deal with everyday issues in dating, relationships, jobs, and friendships, as well as working to fix their own flaws as individuals. This show is especially unique because some of the issues the two women face are specific to black women. The lives of the characters are extremely relatable, maybe not because you experienced something similar but because its common in today's day and age. The awkward situations the two women end up in, add great comedy to the show as well. Besides the great storyline and the comedy, another factor that makes this show great is its choice of music. The featured music is of indie and of established black artist; usually in the R&B and hip-hop genre. Examples of these artists would be Future, Frank ocean, and SZA. Everyone knows that a show can't be great without great music! The modern-day music helps set the feel of the show. The authentic nature of this show will easily have you addicted. The characters and their situations will keep you invested in the show, as well as the plot. However, this isn't the best show for younger viewers, this is because there is a lot of cursing and explicit scenes. Some viewers don't like the explicit scenes. I think the explicit scenes add to the intensity of whatever is taking place in the show, and some of the explicit scenes are just hilarious. However, I do see how this could offend someone who doesn't like to see those types of things while trying to watch a show. Insecure is an awesome show and I would recommend everyone to watch, it is so honest and down to earth, it is hard not to like it. Well, I hope I made you all want to watch this show, you won't be disappointed.
