Issa Rae’s Emmy Winning Series: Insecure Official Thread

[CodeBlaMeVi]

From the creators of "Living Single"

and the executive producer of Dear white people

how does Amber west stay getting roles? She plays the same person in everything I see her in. On top of that, I get the feeling the only time she be around black people is when she's onset

Headshot

@Milk N Cookies have you seen the promo for the knockoff version of insecure called "Run the World"?

Yes I did and yes I will be watching. I have given Insecure (obviously ), Twenties, and Sisters a shot so I’ll be tuning in to see what it’s got. Yeah Amber West is on it… I liked her on Rel.
We’ll see where it leads. @ me if it’s a thread. If not I’ll make one later.

Production looks good and being set in NYC I’ll check it out but from this clip it seems like it’s trying too hard.

Any of those others shows worth checking out? Obviously I will have to compare them against insecure since it set the bar so high

This actually doesn’t look too bad for a knockoff.

Black main cast, set in NYC & seems like a realistic description of being a black adult in the world today.
I’m in

Twenties was okay, it def filled my void for insecure and you get Condola and she’s not on my shyt list because she’s irritating in other ways.

I grew tired with Sisters, my momma loves it but I—- I just got bored really fast. Every one of the women has issues and I quickly stopped caring. But depending on how dry the market is for shows once Insecure wraps, I’ll prolly revisit.

Okay, I didn't see that.

Hate her personality/politics all you want but she will have no problem voice acting. She does have talent.

Issa Rae doesn't read super hero to me
Her voice isn't cool enough
She does the hi, awkward every day girl kind of thing

No, I agree with this. Happy for her on getting the gig, but I want to see how her voice translates to the character

Good for Issa but any update on the premiere date of the final season?
