Insecure (2016)
Relatable
My daughter introduced "Insecure" to me when it first premiered, but I wasn't feeling it at all. I've been married now close to 30 years and didn't think it was relevant to my 50+ age. However, she was on her 2nd round of re-watching this year and since it was the Christmas holidays, I said why not? Well, I binged the entire series over the weekend and fell in love with all of the characters and the scenarios were absolutely hilarious!
The characters/actors had mad chemistry. Yes, I've had friends 40+ years and throughout the years, we have experienced the breakdown in communication, not speaking, interest/conversation/viewpoint changes, etc., but at the end of the day, we're down for each other. My only constructive feedback is the use of the N word and the explicit sex scenes ( could have left some to the imagination, we get it ). Otherwise, no matter the age this show is relatable and so you know, it's not much different from the 80s/90s scene.
And Just Like That... (2021)
It's Watchable
I wonder about reviews sometimes. Are people really trying to be helpful or they honestly think the show is that bad, but yet keep watching?
I'm the same age as the actors/characters and I think it's good to show how people mature with age, I like where there not showing the challenges of dating, but how they depict a picture of loss, stagnation and staying married.
Only thing that probably needs to change is Carrie's wardrobe...it's just not cutting the mustard. I remember reading a Vogue article some years back about age appropriate attire and with Carrie/SJP being in her mid 50s, it just doesn't look right. You can still be fashionable without dressing like a 20/30 year old...just a thought for the writers' table.
Give a try, it's watchable.
