.menonrad reviews the fifth and final season of Insecure, which sees our favorite characters committed to growing from their experiences:
has always been a show about growth. The excellent Issa Rae vehicle, which she also created with Larry Wilmore, centers on Issa, a former nonprofit employee-turned-entrepreneur who is chasing fulfillment, both personally and professionally. In Season 1, Issa’s feelings of stasis at work and in her relationship led her to lash out and threaten the bedrocks of her life; the aftermath then put her on a rocky path to self-discovery, which is still ongoing.
Over the course of four seasons, Issa, her best friend Molly , her on-again off-again boyfriend Lawrence , and their circle of romantic interests, friends, and coworkers have evolved from lost and confused young adults to confident, successful people who have made inroads towards achieving their life goals.
In the four episodes of Season 5 that were provided to critics, the show takes care to illuminate how far the crew has come: Issa is recognized on an entrepreneurship panel at her alma mater, Molly adopts an open attitude towards dating, and Lawrence steps up to fulfill his fatherly duties. All of their previous pitfalls—confidence, open-mindedness, responsibility—seem to have worked themselves out, and they’ve come full circle in their evolution into adulthood.
It’s not uncommon to suffer from imposter syndrome, the feeling of self-doubt that tells you that you’re somehow unworthy of your achievements. In the season premiere, Issa gets a taste of this feeling when she’s unable to answer questions about the future of her business on the panel she was hand-selected for.
The great filmmaking is accompanied by fantastic performances from the entire cast. Rae and Orji still have excellent chemistry, and play their friendship’s ups and downs with grace. Ellis conveys so much emotion with just a facial expression, and is given interesting material to work with in the final stretch. Natasha Rothwell continues to be a scene-stealer as Kelli, who is also provided more depth as the series concludes.are still there.
