The show made me cringe because Issa Rae is a Capricorn. Im a Capricorn. Us Capricorns cant relate to her. Simply because we are built with confidence and usually dont want or need anyone to validate us. Ive watched 4 episodes only because my friend wanted me to watch it. I couldnt rock with it. Cause it came off as desperation and needy. But to each its own.
As a Capricorn, myself, you’re objectively wrong and please stop using Zodiac signs to validate your nonsense. 😭 Issa is a character that I personally found relatable and many other black women did as well. Capricorns can be insecure and awkward too.
Great video title because I recognized immediately this video was going to make the point Insecure is Black audience version of Seinfeld which is a POV I never considered. And never realized Issa stated this. TFS.
Brava so glad I found this video - well done and well researched. I loved Awkward Black Girl it was a cultural phenomenon - I remember going having watch parties with friends . I am rewatching Insecure now and it took me a while to warm up to the show because I was such a fan of the you tube series but in rewatching it I see the brilliance how they take chances with the character how gentrification is ever present in the series . During the initial run season 4 spoiler alert 🚨 and telling the story backwards and examining what it looks like to have a falling out with a dear friend was well done - it should have and didn’t get any award during it runs from the Emmy;s and that’s crazy. Emmy’s don’t always get it right, One correction in your video that should be noted is that Issa is Senegalese and Black American her mother family is from Louisanna, . I look forward to other work from you .
When Insecure came out it reflected my life to TEAAAAAA even her relationship with Lawrence (minus the cheating lol) but it was so refreshing and comforting to know i wasn't alone in my experiences. None of us are. Great commentary and video wow 💖
When Awkward Black Girl came out, I felt so seen! I remember binging all of season 1 in one sitting. I miss the early 2010's web series era of RU-vid so bad! So many Black creators did amazing work!
I remember I came across the show during season 1 episode 4. I got all my friends onto it. I watched fly guys and dorm diaries too. I miss all the old black creators like black&sexy tv. Roomie/Lover/Friends and i think it was called like OKCupid or something like that had me and my bestie in a choke hold at the time lol
