Sometimes I barely hear about a show and then suddenly it is getting award nominations and being constantly mentioned by television critics and friends, and it is only two seasons of eight half-hour episodes, so watching Insecure seemed like a good idea. And it was!

Created by Issa Rae and Larry Wilmore, Insecure follows three characters ( Read more... )

South Asian leads, even! How had I never heard about it? Seeing that it was only 10 20- ( Read more... )
