Issa Rae talks Insecure after the series finale: 'This show has been a very specific story about Black women. I really, really appreciate the people who have stuck with the story that we’ve wanted to tell, which is this love story between two friends'
’s journey with “Insecure,” the hit HBO comedy that vaulted Rae onto Hollywood’s A-list, has come to a close after five seasons.in a lengthy interview about the 41-minute episode, “Everything Gonna Be, Okay?” “I know people will have a lot to say, but I’m looking forward to not reading it.”
The first version of the finale was set five years in the future with Rae’s Issa Dee character and Molly traveling in Morocco. But, just two weeks before filming began, Rae decided to change things up. The half-hour comedy’s slightly extended running time was a gift to the fans who have been petitioning for hourlong episodes since the series debut in October 2016.
And then thinking about my own life, and wanting to tell the story of Issa and Molly trying to maintain the friendship that they have dutifully kept over time with the circumstances of life, just modeled it after my own life and friendships. I have friends that I’ve had since high school, and we’ve gone from kicking it every Friday guaranteed, to growing up and dealing with families, life, loss and all of those things.
I stand by the fact that Issa should have broken up with Lawrence during that time [at the end of Season 4]. I think that was the best decision she could have made for herself and for them, because he was going to be in a toxic relationship and needed that time to adjust to being a father. And she needed to go on the journey that she went on, and focus on rebuilding her friendship with Molly. I maintain that that was the best decision for her at that time, and with time things change.
We also see Molly and Taurean , who have become one of the internet’s favorite couples very quickly. What do you make of that early fan reaction — especially after their edible adventure in Episode 9 — people are like, “Oh, they’re cute”? In the final edit, I knew that I wanted a callback song, so our editor tried a different song there and I thought, “It’s nice,” but it just didn’t feel … I don’t know, it just didn’t feel appropriate for that moment. For me, when I think about one of the most memorable songs that really shaped how the audience was introduced to Issa, and also shows the trajectory of her journey — like she’s a boss now — the “Broken Pussy”/”Bossy” hybrid felt like the best option.
