This season ofInsecurehas felt waterlogged.
The show had a tendency of getting in its own way.
Fittingly, the season finale is titled Ghost-Like.
This episode revolves around a commemoration of Issas 30th birthday.
Ive long thought Issa could be a Libra.
The back and forth makes for lively Twitter convos but Im tired.
This show is decidedly much more focused on men than Id ever anticipated.
Why is the show so invested in Lawrences interiority?
HE SHOULDNT EVEN BE HERE!!!
She isnt fretting over not having insurance or piled-up bills, shes instead seeking self-fulfillment.
I have friends with babies.
I have friends who have been divorced or separated.
They live in L.A., not, like, Omaha.
A divorced woman should not be jarring, Lawrence!
Issas parents, as she mentioned on her date with Nathan, are divorced.
Mollys myriad personality defects are most often displayed in the professional arena.
This show is not feminist, but it does frequently put on a veneer of inoffensive feminist-lite sensibilities.
Molly took full credit for an assignment which had been a shared effort.
Also the two womens hesitation toward Molly was never explored.
The feudal tensions in the office are never explained.
Why is her bullish self-absorption and need for professional advancement being slyly heralded as feminist?
This was remarkably out of line and ill-advised.
Molly also states that Nathan has been gone for a month, which makes no sense!
Hes been gone for two weeks at most!
The woman responsible for the screening is someone Lawrence is dating.
Issa later approaches her for guidance with putting on her block party.
Molly also attempts to patch up things with Andrew, and he is delightfully curt with her.
He isnt receptive to her apology, and rightfully so.
Either way, Mollys apology was half-assed and insincere and Andrew deserves more.
She calls him gay to Issa when she scampers away, voicing her discomfort.
He is dating a man, possibly, because that is literally the definition of bisexuality.
I still do not know how to feel about this friendship.
It is the shows primary relationship but its also dreadfully under-explored.
Their argument quickly devolves into familiar toxic bouts of slights and passive-aggressive insults.
I love the two together in theory, but I hope next season fleshes out their relationship more.
At home, Issa runs into Nathan.
I thought Issas handling of it was rude.
But the show ended with her setting up her new apartment and hopefully looking forward.
I am interested in whats next for both Issa and Molly.
