Quick announcement update... i am very sorry for saying the show was centered in the Bay area. My bad yall. Please feel free to drag me as needed for my mistake. But i am aware of the mistake lol.
Issa Rae’s Insecure sets a new standard for black dramedy. I’ve tuned in every night on HBO to see what her and Yvonne Orji (aka the character Molly) get into. But at the same time I’ve also found myself captivated and motivated by the way Issa writes black men. Issa’s come a long way from Awkward Black Girl to visions of black love in The Photograph or good ol fashioned comedy hijinks with a fellow future icon (Marsai Martin) in Little and with Kumail Nanjiani in Lovebirds, or just standing around being extra fly and Black in Jay Z's Moonlight. But it’s her creation of characters like Baby Voice Darius, Thug Yoda, Jared and of course Lawrence that puts her in rarified air for the way she represents black men on the big and small screen.
So in this episode of Black Media Breakdown Fiq plants his flag as a member of the Lawrence fanbase and reacts to the ways in which Issa gets and represents men on screen better than anyone else in the game!
