HBO: Insecure -- Season 5 Official Discussion Thread (Final Season)

A black show with black writers, a black showrunner, everybody is black or minority. Most of the shows we have watched throughout the history of our lives have been like black acting school on Hollywood Shuffle. White writers and directors trying to tell black people how to act black

The show was Perfectly Imperfect. Everyone had their flaws oh, but it was black. The music was phenomenal. Even the type of music that isn't always my cup of tea I enjoyed

And that boy Chad was funny as hell the whole series. Great supporting character

From season 4

I'm watching insecure: the end oh, the documentary after the series basically a wrap-up of season 5 and I'm loving the blackness. I'm loving hearing them talk about how they Revel in giving people opportunities they wouldn't have ordinarily gotten a chance to do.

How Issa Rae used black everything. Black designers, black clothing people, it was just so very black. Prentice penny doesn't get enough credit. For helping to build two of my favorite shows in happy endings and insecure. As a writer, as a showrunner, he is that dude
 
Who Slapped Jay Ellis in an Airport?

Who did it? Who?! The Lawrence Hive wants to know. Jay Ellis tweeted Tuesday morning that a woman had slapped him “in the face at an airport” for something that Lawrence, his character on Insecure, did in season three. But what did Lawrence do that season that would create such an intense reaction from someone years later? He was only in four episodes! Was it because Lawrence gave his sexual partners an STI? Or because he called the women he dates “dysfunctional?” Or because he introduced Issa to Condola? Okay, maybe the man who ranked No. 22 on the Insecure men list did make an impact during the last few episodes of the season, but it doesn’t give anyone the right to slap an actor for something his character did. Ellis laughed at a fan’s reply that read, “I don’t condone her actions, but I do understand,” so hopefully he was able to laugh it off. But if anyone even thinks about hurting TSA Bae, there will be hell to pay.

everybody wanna Will Smith now lol

Actually, didn;t Jada pull that move in Low Down Dirty Shame
 
Yeah, she slapped a dude that played a character she didn't like in her favorite soap opera.

I've heard that at one time it wasn't unusual for an actor to get attacked (verbally or physically) because of the character they played on TV.

I think actors lowkey like that.. because it means they are NAILING their role.....

Not so much the smack.. lol

but the fact their acting could generate such emotion.

Bro it happened all the damn time

Especially soap opera actors

I seen it with my own eyes.

These crazy folk STILL DO IT KNOW

Yet again proving the hypocrisy of all these folks acting like they better than Will or don't understand WHY he did what he did.

Makes more sense than folk LITERALLY chasing and cursing out the kid who played Joffrey on game of thrones

Damn, never thought of it that way. Good point
 
I miss this show. Just how black the show was, you know?

I mean, the entire show was black and it was written by black people so everything didn't have the stereotypical black feel. It felt good to see black people who acted like black people I know and it didn't feel like I was watching an episode of Name That 90s black sitcom
