There is plenty of space for it. Oprah is still restructuring her network. She clearly has Tyler Perry taking up 40% of air time and rest is OWN original series and reruns of other shows (HGTV) with black people.

It’ll be there soon, then again maybe she wasn’t able to get the rights to the show.

it may feel boring because one, we are all 7 years older, different take on life, different and more experience in relationships/career than when this premiered, and two, there is a lot of similar shows out now, and have been since Insecure premiered.

but when it debuted, there was NOTHING like this on TV. and it's the best version of all those shows, despite others like Run The World, and probably at least 5 more that are similar.

Had never seen a show that captured LA, and captured a generation the way Insecure did. and a show with essentially an all black cast being on HBO as a headliner. There were hardly any white recurring characters.

I wonder if the storyline of that rapper from season 5 was originally written for Daniels character?

Dude talks and acts just like Daniel.
