Big thing for me is the commercial breaks and then the subject matter.

FX is basic cable so you can only get away with so much. But the biggest thing is the commercial breaks.
Considering, they still get away with a lot. Only thing they don’t do is say fukk (often) and show actual nudity. Other than that, it’s commericals.

Me too because I think he's lying like a bytch!!
Well he did answer his wife's call when he was in bed with Molly and told her he is still at Molly's place. But perhaps their arrangement isn't as cut and dry as Dro makes it. Dro almost went off when Molly brought up his wife.

We gotta hear his wive's thoughts and feelings about it.

But Molly and Dro grew up together and were friends before hand, that's why it wouldn't seem suspicious to me. Something isn't right about it though. Seems sketchy as hell.

That is what makes Insecure so special, especially to black women cause we find ourselves indentifying with the characters be it Issa, Molly, Tiffany, Kelly, or Tasha. That show has the women so well written that that are just relatable to the everyday life (& ultimate struggles) of being a black woman. Insecure is Living Single meets Girlfriends with no holds barred.
Issa Rae, as a writer, could have easily made her character the victor in every situation, but she chooses to be a little more realistic and it's more relatable,

Plus he got his little job at Best Buy and she was trying to hate on him. Meanwhile she works at that wack ass non profit and can't financially afford to do ANYTHING by herself. Who was the real bum? The person who took a little dive to pursue their dreams, failed and bounced back or the heifer with the dead credit score, BS job, going no where and fast! I think this is what makes me like Insecure, Issa takes L's like no one's business, but she's really aware her shyt is fukked up. Issa Rae, as a writer, could have easily made her character the victor in every situation, but she chooses to be a little more realistic and it's more relatable, imo.
This is why she’s gotta have it sucked. In that show it seemed there were very few lessons for the main character to learn and very little L’s taken which simply just isnt realistic.

I haven't seen the season 3 premiere. Hesitant to do so with no Lawrence arc :lupe:

However, I have an idea of what happens, and based on Twitter reacts to it … man … there's some backward-ass thinkers out there :mjlol:
