Insecure and black•ish are GOAT black TV shows...

[murksiderock]

What was wrong with Insecure? You agree with black•ish, though?

 

[murksiderock]

Replace Blackish with Abbott Elementary, or even South Side and I agree with you.

I need to get around to watching Abbott, I know a girl out here in NC who grew up in Philly with Quinta. I thought she was capping at first til she showed some old flicks and an old IG flick of them together in like 2014. She a real life friend of Quinta...

I've never watched Abbott but I've heard good things about it!

What didn't you like about black•ish?

Not that I don't like it or even hate it, it just didn't hit for me the same way say, Everybody Hates Chris did back in the day if that makes any sense.

Insecure isn’t realistic nobody putting up with Issa and Molly bs them hoes ain’t bad enough for their issues and attitudes


Lawerence went out like a sucka imagine getting back with Issa after she cheated on you and you done leveled up in life


Issa deserved nothing and was rewarded for being a horrible person that’s why women love this show so much

I wonder of you're this critical of old school shows...

Like for instance. Is Family Matters a real depiction of black life? What black family you know would put up with a nosy neighbor who stalks they daughter and destroys they house and somehow gets the girl in the end?

Insecure was very realistic, it showed the flaws of each character and it's true to what navigating life as a ~30-ish year old is like...

Give all them old shows this same microscope. For a fact very few were as real as Insecure...

Family Matters got to live forever, but Smart Guy and My Brother and Me? Pffffft.

 

[hood b. goode]

I think "this is the GOAT era for black tv" wouldve been a better discussion / argument

Snowfall
Atlanta
etc

After my 2nd watch of insecure I agree 100%. shyt was fire and will stand the test of time.

If you go back and watch Matrin, Fresh Prince, Family matter, or living single from a realistic standpoint you’re going to be highly disappointed. Insecure was the most realistic out of all of them.

 

[SunZoo]

Insecure is AIIIIIGHTTTTT. I respected the vision and the talent, I always check for Issa and her projects but the show got mad boring past a certain point. And there is a distinct veneer of subtle black suburbanite corny shyt that she cannot wash off. Like Rap shyt was trying it's hardest to get around it but no luck.

Black-ish and it's spin offs are super duper mid for the similar reasons. Pointing these up as GOAT anything has to be due to lack of compeition. The best of what is being offered in this era I suppose.

I wouldn't put either over Atlanta, let alone the actual classics.

Well Insecure is a drama and the rest of those shows are sitcoms



Why would I look for realism from a sitcom

Family matters is a sitcom it’s not supposed to be taken serious


That’s like comparing Boy meets world and The Bear

I never seen black•ish

Insecure was the typical relationship shyt
Also Issa Rae is not a good actress

@murksiderock this!

I hate her portrayal of black people from Inglewood and south central

You can tell her ass never spent anytime around us
