December TV Finales - Insecure - Season Five/Series Finale

Insecure has gone out with a bang. Back in January, 2021, HBO announced that the fifth season will be its last. Commencing October 24, 2021, concluding just this week.

Insecure has received critical acclaim since its debut in 2016. Issa Rae is an absolute delight, whilst finally giving us a show that lays bare our insecurities along with relationships and their toll on us as individuals.

Issa Rae & Yvonne Orji showcase the highs and lows of relationships. Over all five seasons we see the best parts and worst parts of friendships on the small screen.

I have loved every season, every episode of this series. It truly is one of HBO's finest 30 minute drama/comedy series of all time. Next to Veep of course.

Insecure has had some great moments over the years with friends Natasha Rothwell as Kelli Prenny & Amanda Seales as Tiffany DuBois joining Molly & Issa on some wild rides.

2019 was a grim year when we had a year without our girls on the small screen, however when they came back in 2020 & 2021, at least we got 10 damn fine episodes a season.

After 44 episodes I am left wanting more. However I admire shows that go out on highs like Insecure. Unlike random long running single idea series like Revenge, The Blacklist, Lost or The 100. 

Insecure could well be in my top ten series of all time. The music, the realness, the feels. Insecure streams on Binge in Australia, it's another of example of HBO still being relevant in a Netflix quantity over quality kind of world.

If you need a good laugh or want to see how to do friendship/relationships, Insecure is totally for you. Amazing. Well done team Insecure! Great run.
