Each week I waited with an impatient excitement to inhale episodes of HBO's newest hit series, Insecure. "FINALLY," I shouted at my empty living room, thrilled to see characters that resemble me and so many of the women I know and love. Issa and Molly, the hilarious best friend duo that cemented Insecure's spot at the top of my favorites, are young, educated, hard-working, driven, AND black. They are relatable, complex, awkward, beautiful, hilarious young women trying to figure out their stuff which includes life, careers, friendships, men, relationships, and men. (That's no typo.) Viewers, women and men alike, are sure to enjoy this show.
Now you can imagine how excited I was to come across Insecure at the library today. After ranting to coworkers about how our public library understands the needs of black women, I immediately checked it out. Maybe I am a bit dramatic, but it is that good! Besides, who doesn't want to relive great tv?
I feel it my obligation to comedy lovers everywhere, particularly those in the town I live in, to select Insecure for my monthly "staff pick" and announce that this must-see series is now conveniently owned by our local library! Add it to your list. You won't regret it.
P.S.
If you do regret it, I need a detailed list of reasons why, so I can send you a detailed list of rebuttals.
