” is its most confident yet, using the show’s careful eye for detail to tell a single well-crafted story that ended up affecting every aspect of its two leads’ lives. And it was a season that was perhaps too easy to see ending up ignored by the Emmys. In its first few seasons, “Insecure” thrummed in the backbeat of awards season, having picked up two Golden Globe nominations and one Emmy nomination for lead actress, as well as two cinematography Emmy nominations.
“Insecure’s” fourth season was a double act, establishing in its opening that the well-meaning but somewhat adrift Issa had lost more than her moorings: Her friendship with Molly had ended. We then go back in time to track, through parallel Thanksgiving celebrations, ill-starred vacations and somehow unluckier block parties, and various corners of a gorgeously lonely Los Angeles, their path away from one another, and, eventually, their first steps back.
This is a fairly high level of ambition for the comedy field: Plugging a seasonlong mega-arc about disaffection into a show that was built as a hang between two friends was hardly the easy choice. And yet Rae and especially Orji sold the falling-out, with Issa’s increasingly desperate grasps towards her friend met with increasing chilliness.
Which makes its nominations at this year’s Emmys surprising, as “what had come before” was not an awards magnet. “Insecure’s” nominations this year both coincide with a leap forward in quality and seem to serve as an acknowledgement of the preceding three seasons’ of underheralded work it took to get there. They represent aamong the Emmy nominees , and raise the question of what “Insecure,” in putting together a show this ambitious over the first three years, needed to do to get in.
