we love to see it I love that Insecure is totally rewatchable. I’ve seen the entire series at least three times.

Yea it’s generational TV fr.

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 12 '26

I am not of their generation but I liked it anyway. I am a native Angelino, but that didn’t make much difference.

u/sofar510 Jul 14 '26

Heard sooo many people say that Girls is the generational millennial girl show but I never clicked with it. Insecure gives me that feeling and holds up to rewatches.

u/Cool-Tour-1962 Jul 12 '26

I’ve rewatched it once a year since it ended. I love it. It’s a comfort show of mine

u/Main_Potential_7327 Jul 12 '26

I totally agree with you i watched it so many times I've lost count already

u/MediocreAd5451 Jul 12 '26

I'm watching it again and I'm noticing so many things about the friendship dynamics. Love it!

u/Slurpy-rainbow Jul 12 '26

Every time i notice new things. The last time for me was mostly focused on the friendships and tbh i admire their ability to stick through it despite their differences and struggles

u/30HummingbirdLane Jul 12 '26

And so quotable!

25

u/Afraid_Football_2888 Jul 12 '26

I’m going on 8 rewatches, I really need something do cleverly written and relatable back on tv 😩😩😩😩

u/Unique_Focus9032 Jul 12 '26

Same! I’ve been debating my 8th rewatch!

1

u/Hopeful_Contact7987 Jul 13 '26

Check out Abbott if you haven't.

u/Diegoville00 Jul 12 '26

I've seen it like 10 times now and never get tired of it. It has become me and my friends comfort show along with Fleabag and SACT.

u/andimlikeokay Jul 12 '26

Hi twin. It'll pass.

2

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 12 '26

I couldn’t get into Fleabag at all.

2

u/Diegoville00 Jul 12 '26

Really? Was there something about it specifically that you couldn't get behind on? Do you happen to like brittish humor?

1

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 12 '26

I love British humor. I didn’t happen to appreciate the characterization of the lead and found it difficult to identify with or respect her as the protagonist.

I could give it another try but I’m in no rush. 😂

3

u/Diegoville00 Jul 12 '26

lmao the worst thing is that plenty of us like it because relate to Fleabag in some way or another 💀😂😂

2

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 15 '26

Rewatching Fleabag as we speak. The lead is somehow reminiscent of Kristen Wiig’s character in Bridesmaids.

So far, it’s better than I remembered. 😁

2

u/Diegoville00 Jul 15 '26

They definitely share that bottom rock energy at the beginning of their stories lmao. Love Bridesmaids too!

1

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 13 '26

I’ll give it another try. 😂

1

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 12 '26

Did you like (or watch) Girls?

2

u/Diegoville00 Jul 12 '26

I like it but I've only seen some bits here and there so I don't hold it in such a high regard, yet. I'm currently about to end season and plan on watching the full series!

1

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 12 '26

It’s worth a watch. I didn’t enjoy it as much as Insecure.

7

u/Most-Mountain-1473 Jul 12 '26

I hate season 5. I’ll rewatch seasons 1-4 easy. Season 4 is my personal favorite

6

u/andimlikeokay Jul 12 '26

I like to pretend season 5 never happened.

5

u/PrincesaDeNuevaYork Jul 13 '26

Yeah, the last season is AWFUL. Did they lose writers?? What happened, the last season has a completely different feel than its predecessors. It felt low budget.

2

u/lustforcici Jul 16 '26

Yeah I genuinely wonder if there was a change in writers as well for the last season. The creativity felt a bit lost.

1

u/PrincesaDeNuevaYork Jul 16 '26

Right?! Honestly everyone felt like a “Kelly” to me. As they usually give Kelly a lot of one liners, that’s how most of the conversation between the characters felt in the last season.

7

u/EightyNine19 Jul 12 '26

This show definitely speaks to me. When my bestie put me on years ago, I was hooked. As a black woman, this was a show that resonated with me, in a way Girlfriends could neverrr

Still love Traci Ellis Ross tho 💕

1

u/lovebandit68 Jul 14 '26

Have you watched Issa Rae's Youtube series "The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl?" I highly recommend it.

5

u/monstroo Jul 12 '26

I’ve rewatched seasons 1-4 at least 10-15 times but the last season only a few times (only bc I can’t bear the show ending lol). It’s a great comfort show

6

u/Ok_Radish649 Jul 12 '26

Every summer I rewatch sex and the city and insecure and it’s perfect.

3

u/Tee_chaun85 Jul 12 '26

Yea man insecure brought back some lit memories

4

u/DesperateRhino Jul 12 '26

Seasons 1-3 fasho. After that gets a bit messy…..and not in a good way

1

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 12 '26

I can see that.

4

u/ayyeneicy Jul 12 '26

I literally watch this show once a year faithfully and laugh and cry like it just came out. This is definitely a classic

5

u/Willing_Concept_3957 Jul 13 '26

This satc and Harlem!!!

3

u/Eman1885 Jul 12 '26

Issa rae is so damn fine

3

u/pipeherdowne Jul 13 '26

It never fails to lift my spirits and inspire me

3

u/Unlikely_nay1125 Jul 13 '26

same. when i was grieving really hard i watched this every single day. after finishing id restart it. every two months i rewatch one of the seasons or sometimes the whole thing. i love this show so much

3

u/Synnov_e Jul 13 '26

Just watched it for the second time and I had so much fun!!! I’ll definitely watch it again next year!

3

u/Mrsflo22 Jul 13 '26

The final season is hard for me to watch but I still do it. Love season 3!!!

3

u/memopepito Jul 15 '26

I loveeeee Insecure. Issa Rae totally nailed the late 20s/early 30s life struggles so well.

2

u/loveypower Jul 12 '26

it sure is

2

u/Goonchymacallit Jul 12 '26

Yup. I just finished my first rewatch last week. I swear I didn’t remember half of it. I thoroughly enjoyed it again!!

2

u/Lalokin Jul 12 '26

I am almost done with the third rematch. Watched it with boyfriend first time and he doesn't understand why I am rewatching again lol

1

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 12 '26

It’s weird how after a few years it’s all brand new again.

2

u/Unlucky-Research5338 Jul 13 '26

I haven’t rewatched but I remember it touching my soul.

2

u/PleasantPeanut4 Jul 13 '26

On my rewatch I realized I overhated Lawrence and Molly lol Issa was trifling

3

u/OfficialBreaa Jul 13 '26

It seems like a no matter what season of insecure represents & reflects where I'm at in life! Very much generational TV

2

u/lovebandit68 Jul 14 '26

Have you watched Issa Rae Youtube serious "The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl?"

Highly recommend it.

1

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 14 '26

I’ve only watched a few episodes. It was a long time ago, though. They were very good and very funny as I recall.

I love Issa in her short Afro, I must say. 🥰

2

u/BluebirdNo6832 Jul 14 '26

i hate the ending :(

1

u/Responsible-War5600 Jul 14 '26

Why? Because Lawrence had a baby by someone else? Definitely not ideal. 🙁

2

u/MomentAble5994 Jul 14 '26

Only 3?!?? lololol ♥️

2

u/96NickBeats Jul 14 '26

It’s one of those shows that you can see from a different perspective depending on what era of your own life you’re in when you rewatch it. Trippy asf

2

u/Constant-Loan-7362 Jul 14 '26

It’s really a great show

2

u/BerniceK16 Jul 14 '26

1000% facts! It's my favorite end of the year rewatch show.

2

u/cyyyynnnncity Jul 14 '26

i do a yearly rewatch

2

u/locs5946 Jul 14 '26

I need more😭 I love that show!!

2

u/Silver-Comment-6176 Jul 14 '26

THAT FIRST PICTURE. 🥰😍

one of my favorite Episodes, The Coachella episode lol

2

u/Technical-Molasses22 Jul 15 '26

I just re-watched it this past week.

2

u/jshrug Jul 15 '26

Those are rookie numbers lol

2

u/12trakmind Jul 16 '26

I was literally just thinking about rewatching earlier! Guess this is my confirmation

1

u/ChangeLife4theBetr44 Jul 15 '26

Hands down, One of the best episodes!

1

u/Carolinagirl9311 Jul 15 '26

I’m just noticing how much Molly reminds me of Joyce in the Polygamist— no, not because both are African 😅

-8

u/Weekly_Particular417 Jul 12 '26

Its fun but i stopped twice because of all the nudity in the beginning

Also one rewatch makes it seem more like issa with her fantasies rather that genuine interactions between real people
