TV: HBO: Insecure

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I love it. So good. Very impressed.

If you like it, I'll never give it a shot.

[kreng]

Yeah this show is fantastic. Issa Rae's acting seems so effortless and natural.

[jwfocker]

Awesome show. Huge fan.

[The Argonaut]

I mean, I watch it, but it isn't very special. The two main men in Issa's life, Lawrence and Daniel, are goddamn handsome as hell, though.

[The Argonaut]

I don't know about all that. All I know is Issa is pretty charming, and her boyfriends are fine as hell.




Her friends are all pretty annoying, and the show does some silly things. Like, the last episode? Molly cries and freaks out and storms off like a little baby when she finds out that her dad cheated on her mom decades ago? DECADES AGO. It's 2017 and you are an adult. I understand why a silly person would react this way, but I don't think it's a concept worth exploring on television.

[The Argonaut]

It's not that "white TV" already explored this theme. It's that a thirty year old, successful lawyer should have the wisdom and the self-control to not over-react to meaningless news like that. It's not a theme worth exploring.

[malice]

also, don't get me wrong here, im not proclaiming myself to be chock full o wisdom at 51 either, but to assume wisdom is a natural part of achieving the grand old age of 30, is frankly, retarded

[epilogue]

Trag, I love you. But honestly... there's a bit of schadenfreude for me here, seeing you get just a little tiny fraction of a taste of what it felt like for me to read/deal with posts in the GIRLS thread for all those years.

[epilogue]

I haven't started it yet. But I really want to. I fully expect to live this show. Seems to have all the necessary ingredients.
