Today, we look at when (or if) you folks believe that Insecure “jumped the shark.”
This is “Just Can’t Jump It,” a feature where we examine shows that launched in 2006 or later and whether they “jumped the shark.” Jumped the shark means that the show had a specific point in time where, in retrospect, you realize that show was going downhill from there. Not every show DOES jump the shark. Some shows just remain good all the way through. And some shows are terrible all the way through. What we’re looking for are moments where a show that you otherwise enjoyed hit a point where it took a noticeable nose dive after that time and if so, what moment was that?
Insecure was an acclaimed series written and starring Issa Rae (who created the show with Larry Wilmore) about a Black woman in her late 20s growing into “real” adulthood.
So first…DID IT JUMP THE SHARK? I don’t think so.
WHEN DID IT JUMP THE SHARK I don’t think it did, but let me know if you disagree!
Let me know what you think in the comments or on social media!
