I'm back. I loved every review from you🥰. I loved seeing women who look like me and go through the same things I go through on tv. It was refreshing to witness a couple break up, become better people and reconnect again. That has literally happened to two my girlfriends and they are now happily married. This was the most realistic 'black girl doing normal s***' show and I enjoyed every bit of it. Hope to see more from ISSA!!!
Did you notice Issa's engagement ring during the kitchen scene!? She made a comment to Molly at the end about "Is this what I have to look forward to?" I can't believe they didn't show us the engagement ;-(
I think Issa did it her way and wrapped the series up Beautifully. Cried when she and Molly had their dress in the bathroom moment. It was well balanced and I am glad I got to experience INSECURE for 5 Seasons. So glad Molly got married and Issa and Lawrence are going forward and Nathan got away from the drama he didn't want. You did a great review Shawnda 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Agreed 👍🏽 i couldn't keep it together during the wedding dress moment. I was girl they're not real get it together 😄 (didn't work) I am so happy Lawrence and Issa ended up together. There was never any other right outcome for me.
I was team Lawrence for a long time, then I thought perhaps Issa had outgrown him. I definitely didn't like Nathan for Issa, they just didnt have chemistry. I initially thought everyone should have gone their separate ways, then Issa and Lawrence reconnected and, oh boy, it felt so right.
Your a Dr and you thought Issa outgrown Lawrence she provided nothing but bad behavior 304 behavior this whole show up until the end Lawrence is a fool if he messes with that woman she has been nothing but bad for him
I’m going to miss your Insecure reviews along with this show. Your explanations, visuals and voiceovers are the best! I didn’t think I would like the finale but I actually loved it. It seems like they all got their happy ending. I love that the explored other people for Issa and Lawrence before they finally got together bc it shows that they really want to be with each other. The scene with Issa and Molly after the wedding had me crying. They are the true love story of the show and the broken pu**y reference at the end was the perfect way to end the series. Issa Rae created an all time classic for this series and I’m so proud of her.
I’m so happy they ended up together my heart was like yes Issa finally everything she wanted has come to fruition beautiful ending for her friends as well.
Yessss! They show the ring like 2 or 3 times when she is on the phone with Molly at the end. I think engaged because when Molly is going on about her husband being all over her on the honeymoon, Issa's response was " Is that what I have to look forward to?"
I think (like you had to assume a lot in this episode) it was just assumed they did get married. I did. Because if you recall in this scene that you are talking about, Issa said to Molly “Is this what I have to look forward to?” in response to Molly talking about her husband being all under her and such on their trip. To me it’s like she saying ok is this what married life is like basically.
@@lifewithshawnda They robbed us of Molly’s proposal. If we were going to see a proposal it should have been that one plus their wedding. But I was happy about the wedding. It was so elegant and upscale.
@@Chrissy4281 yes thank you I didn’t wanna type all of that but when Coach Shawn gets to talking about the scene when it’s paused as she’s walking in you can see the ring and the scene in the bathroom where’s she’s texting you see it too
This was the best episode of the season! I cried. I’m really gonna miss this show. 🥺 Y’all can hate Lawrence all y’all want, but I love him I don’t care. He’s ALWAYS loved Issa, you can literally see he love her has for her when he looks at her.
I love him too 💕Seeing them together made me cry because they exude real chemistry even if it’s for play play! Jay Ellis being brought to tears in the documentary shows they had a true loving friendship on set ☺️
Issa didn’t do anything wrong. Nathan and Issa aren’t married or engaged. She is free to talk to other men as long as it isn’t sexting. Why in the world would she ever tell Nathan that Lawrence was back in town? If their relationship was strong, it wouldn’t matter if one of their exes is back in town. I was satisfied with how the series wrapped up. It seemed a little sweet that Issa and Lawrence finally find their way back to each other. It seemed that they were ready for a healthy relationship.
It was so satisfying that issa went with lawrence. There’s something sweet about them growing up and coming back together in the end it reminds me of if it is meant to be it will come back. I agreed with all your critiques and compliments
I think if they would have made EP 9 ep 5 that would have given the storyline of Issa and Lawerence time flesh out more as well Taureen, they could have set that relationship in motion in that Episode 2.
Not only am I going to miss the show, but I’ll also miss your reviews for it! You always point out the subtle elements that I missed while watching. Like the pole separating Issa & Nathan. I truly enjoyed the finale and I’m happy we got the closure we were hoping for with each character.
I loved the ending I feel Issa and Prentice ended it perfectly. I didn't want her with Lawrence but for the show that made the most sense. I do t think Issa settled, I think she truly followed her heart, not if Lawrence was the same man from season 1 just sitting around doing nothing that would have been settling. I'm so going to miss this show and your reviews.
You provided great perspective Shawnda,but i would have to disagree with Issa & Lawrence. If you recall in Season 4 Issa said Lawrence makes her happy. So when he asked her "Are you happy"? She truly wasnt happy with Nathan 😞 She loved the idea of being in a relationship but she wasn't happy with ole boy Nathan (They wasnt a good match anyway) Also, I believed she wanted Lawrence to fight for her Love (which in the end, He did)
I don't get the Lawrence hate. I'm happy they ended up together, but this episode was definitely rushed to me. Kept jumping from birthday to birthday...then Molly's mom dying which we felt no emotion from because it was so quick.
Lawrence is the MAN... I think some people hating on Lawerence because of his personal choice in real life. Get over it people. He chose a white woman and they are a family.
Same and I don’t get the struggle love analysis that people attach to Issa and Lawrence. An imperfect relationship (communication issues and discontentment with career/life choices that impact your mood which affect your partner) does not equate to toxicity or struggle love.
At the wedding, Tiffany was pregnant. Kelly already would have had her kid because it was one year later. Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention that there was no traffic when Issa was driving through, and Lawrence asked her how was traffic and she said 'the usual.' Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention that her mirror self didn't come out at the end. Also, Tiffany and Kelly relationship really shined to me in this episode. I liked how Tiffany asked the man 'so how did you two meet?' And when Kelly giggled ,she shuffled Issa away so Tiffany could investigate how serious the relationship really is. Also, when Molly came out and Kelly told Issa 'she looks so happy, you did a great job.' I love the subtext there. Brilliant writing. Issa calling Jah 'a man who knows what he wants' while the camera is on Lawrence. Brilliant writing/directing. And Tiffany's reaction when Kelly announced her baby was exciting. Because now Tiffany and Kelly can relate about motherhood together and it was something Tiffany could never have any of the girls be empathetic about.
@@erikaluamba6016 oh I intentionally didn't mention that. Lol. But the sub text was pretty obvious. They made a pact that birthdays are special. And by allowing Lawrence to propose to her on her birthday, shows she is secure in herself and what she is doing in life. I loved every second of it and how they implied instead of showing it directly.
Love your review Shawn!! In the last scene, there was THE PAINTING!!! I knew all along they would find their way back to one another.I agree with you about the pacing but I think she did a great job in spite of COVID. I'm really going to miss INSECURE. Going to cancel my HBO subscription TODAY 🤣🤣...
I intend on binge watching all the Insecure Reviews you’ve done now the show is finished! I wish I would of known about your channel years prior so I could of watched them as I was watching the seasons 😭 I enjoyed the reviews you did for Season 5 though, Loved it! Can’t wait for your Finance/ Investing content! Much Love ❤️🧡
I was waiting for your review but yeah - 100% agree with your synopsis - ep 9 and 10 was the best episode and the finale (though a bit confusing) didn’t leave me wanting. It amazes me that they did so much with such short seasons and a short series. Issa Rae showed the world that we are all we need which makes this feel like a win for all of us. When she said she was rooting for everyone Black she made her word bond.
I honestly peeked at countless reviews to keep my Insecure withdrawal at bay. And by far your review was my favorite.Your nuances and attention to detail added so much to the joy! And like you I agree that the season lived up to its namesake. Because life really is unpredictable. Thumbs Up!
I really enjoy your reviews and that you point out things that are not necessarily obvious like the pole between Issa & Nathan representing Lawrence being the block between them that kept them from getting closer in their relationship and the clothing choices the characters wear. I felt like Issa’s speech about how things were all in her head & the only thing stopping her was her was also a metaphor for her relationship with Lawrence. I really enjoyed her heart to heart moment with Molly after her wedding. I wish they would’ve used the whole season to explore the finale’s storylines, but overall I was pleased with the final episode because I felt like a lot of what was touched on was very true to life and I can really relate to it. I also noticed in the final scene with Issa putting on her lipstick in the mirror there was no mirror Issa talking to her representing that she’s finally stopped over thinking things and has become “secure” in her insecurities.
I was so disappointed in the finale. I love how everyone wrapped up except Issa, it felt like she settled. I felt like we don't really see any growth in the Issa/Lawrence love story. Prior to the wedding, we see Lawrence blurt out he loves Issa but then when Issa calls him on his birthday, he goes out to smash whatever girl he's with at the time, seemingly not caring about Issa's call. It just felt so disrespectful and the timing so off. Even in the end, Issa didn't seem happy to me, just stuck, like it made sense to go back to Lawrence because what else is there to do? I loved your point about security never being a place where someone arrives but I do think one can be confident. One can make a choice and pursue that choice with all their might... I don't feel like I saw that ending for Issa/Lawrence. I wish they kept Issa and Lawrence single or had Issa with a new man at the wedding and a scene that show Lawrence and Issa truly support each other's life but have moved on from each other. Maybe the ending would've been sold if it wasn't rushed but I find it so hard to believe.
Hey girl hey. Welcome back. I had a hard time enjoying this season but you made it more interesting with your reviews. Thank you. Your objective views are very similar to my thought process. I understand you're a life and relationship coach... Imma need your help girl.
Insecure was a good show with alot of potential but it kinda became more about memorable “moments” rather than actual great “shows”. This finale was just meh for me 🤷🏾♀️. I watched this show & “Awkward Black Girl” from the very beginning so I was invested enough to keep watching it to the end. Normally a long running show coming to an end would have me all in my feelings but no…I’m just interested to see what else is sparking Issa Rae’s passions now
Congratulations Shawnda on great and spot on reviews throughout the seasons. You really spot on details that we easily miss. I didn't even remember the painting. Also, I've heard that red means power/victory in television, and Issa was dressed all in red in her last work scene episode and when she came home to Lawrence as a victory over everything 🙌🏾. She had the same hairstyle as in the dream of the end of season two when she said goodbye to Lawrence. I love love the way the episode came in full circle even if it was rushed. Also, As you said, the ending made more sense with Issa and Lawrence ending up together. Although, this season was what it was, I loved the theme of "not everything happens the way we want them to and in the time we wish them too" but if we can just give ourselves chances and try to work it out, we are able to find ourself happy in them. People that are not happy with Issa ending up with Achy Lawry are immature in my opinion and didn't really peeped the lesson the show gave. Love and growth conquers all, we create our own happiness. I don't think Issa with Lawrence is a struggle love because not all healthy relationships goes smoothly at first, sometimes there are real issues before getting there because of our own selfish ways. That's a great depiction of life. The best moment was Issa leaving the episode with no mirror her finally secured in her insecurities. I think the season would have been best if each episode were an hour. I didn't like that some stuff were missing like Issa and Molly reconciliation from the end of season 4. This finale should have been at least the last three episodes. I'm mad we didn't get to see Molly's mom funeral. Another regret was not having a scene between Kelly and Chad, they were both so funny. However, I'm proud of every character growth. Insecure is my all time favorite show as a whole and was very well written and directed. I love it for the culture and I look forward to many more shows like this. Did y'all notice the blue couch in the documentary, Issa and Lawrence couch in season 1? 😂 So proud of Issa Rae. She's a legend 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Not having scene the final episode yet, this review EVERRRYTHANG!!! Insecure is absolutely iconic and Issa's love of the culture shines so brightly. The show will missed but i'm so grateful it did exist. Thank you Shawnda, great review!
Loved your review as always 💛 The point about the column being in the way of Issa and Nathan was spot on !! Lol I do feel like they could’ve made Nathan make sense but🤷🏾♀️ ultimately if she’s happy with Lawrence I’m happy for her..
I love the fact that you catch all of the symbolism... so beautifly done... let's all give Shawnda a standing O for her work as well..... 👏 👏👏 (thanks for keeping it classy too😉)
I can't believe Issa got back with Lawrence. I don't see them getting together as a happy ending. I'm happy Issa is happy. But, in a way, it seems like they are glamorizing struggle love.
Why do you consider Lawrence and Issa struggle love? They had issues in their relationship when they both were stuck career wise. Lawrence was struggling with getting a job and Issa hated hers. From what I remember that was the only issue they had, and their lack of communication which is very common. They didn’t really get back together until season 4 and it was brief because of the baby. They never really got a chance to make it work until now. I think her relationships with Nathan and Daniel were more toxic than Lawerence actually.
@@patriciasmith5778 I agree! It seems anything that’s not perfect is equated to toxic and struggle love. I think their relationship is a true depiction of healthy differences/obstacles in a relationship (except Issa’s infidelity) that you can overcome: communication issues, dissatisfaction with career and life choices, forgetting the romance etc.
I feel like it's struggle love too. I don't believe in going through all that mess just to be with someone. Healthy relationships have normal wear and tear not constant issues, break ups/make ups, and baby daddies/mamas. They can keep that.
I see you Coach spotting all the symbolism! Felt like Issa settled. Didn't see very much growth in her character and felt like everything dragged out too long just for predictable endings. Excited to see what Isaa does in the future now that Insecure is done.
Same didn't like how they (Lawrence and Issa) got back together. But I get it and how they presented it was nice. So many feel during the last show. I truly enjoyed it!❤
Great recap of this episode and ending. They grew as individuals over the years. A great show. So many of these actors will go even further because of the show Insecure. I loved the friendship and love ship between these women. Especially being Black women. Thank you Issa Rae.
I think they filmed it post pandemic so they were likely limited with how they filmed which could be the reason they didn't dive into each character fully.
Nice catch with the Art Walk painting at the end. A lot of other reviewers have focused on lingering in the mirror to show that "Mirror Issa" was no longer there, underlining Issa's now more secure mindset and life position.
I’m glad Issa and Nathan came to an end he was emotionally unavailable from jump he disappeared on earlier seasons, when she cried on his chest he just walked out on her and when they had disagreements he wouldn’t speak so good riddance but Lawrence was toxic too lol I’m conflicted with the ending it felt rushed but ultimately I’m sad it’s come to an end 😩🤷🏽♀️….
I low key wanted them to explore the possibility of Issa getting with Crenshawn, but I get that - as you said Shawnda- Lawrence made sense in terms of coming full circle with her friends etc. I still think meh, but it's cool lol
Love the show but I can't say season 5 was my favorite. They gave us a season worth of content in an episode. 30 minute episodes or not they had time to tell each of these stories better. Show us Kelli meeting her new boo. Show is Taurean and Lawrence propose. Show us Molly's mom's funeral. They rushed it and there was no reason to.
I was satisfied with the ending. I wish we could have seen a proposal or even better, Issa in a wedding dress walking down the aisle towards Lawrence as the final scene. That would have been icing on the cake. I'm glad they deaded that whole Nathan narrative, it was boo boo from the beginning (no real chemistry). I agree that they did a great job wrapping up everyone's story, even Tiffany's fake happy story lol. Looking forward to another high quality black love series to come. 🥰🥰
I only have a little confusion about this last time Jump. At the wedding she wasn't engaged; but during Mollys honeymoon she was; but also...Jah is now like 5.
I was thinking he was about 3 and maybe he proposed the night of the wedding who knows it's just so much shit they skipped over but I'm happy with the ending I love Lawrence for issa and issa for Lawrence and I will miss this show so much
I never saw it for Nathan, I’m happy Issa went back to the love of her life despite him not being perfect. I love seeing Molly in love, Kelly being pregnant was just weird.
I actually understand Kelli being pregnant. Look how much she loves and adores Simone. She literally bought her a matching baby tuxedo. She’s gonna spoil her kid rotten. Simone was practice.
Tbh, Issa does all her men dirty. But nobody wants to admit it, everybody wants to act Issa is perfect and everybody else is toxic when SHE’S the toxic one.
I believe for Issa Dee and Nathan to could have had a real chance if he at the least verbalized what was going on with him when Issa realized he disappeared at Tiffany's baby shower. No matter why he left she was unable to reestablish the feelings that developed when they first met. Their relationship was more natural and fluid, but once reunited she was unable to connect with with to the same extent when they first met. Once Lawrence was able to forgive Issa it was just too late for Nathan
I absolutely love your reviews! Did y’all see Issa’s ring at the end? When she was in the phone with Molly talking about the broken …. Issa said “is that what I have to look forward to?” I’m going to miss this show and your reviews!!
Nathan should have left, he needed it. We could all tell that she did not like Nathan like that and her heart still belonged to Lawrence. Getting into a physical altercation over someone who isn't feeling you like that isn't good for your mental health. I kind of wanted Issa to get over it with all of the time that has passed, but I'm happy that she's happy. We all have to live in our truth and do what's best for us in the end. I am happy to have experienced this show and this was a game-changer for Black entertainment. The end of an era.
I’m so sad it’s over 😩😩😩 but honestly I’m pretty content with how the show ended. I didn’t care for her and lawrence but it’s obviously what they both wanted so I’m glad they got that. It’s annoying that issa still seemed to be sad and not completely happy with how things ended up but honestly that’a life sometimes and I appreciate how realistic the show is. I was soooooo happy seeing Molly get married, that had to be my favorite part of the whole thing.
Low key I was happier to see Molly at her wedding than Issa and Lawrence making up. I guess their on and off relationship just wore me out. Even in this last episode she had a new guy or two and Lawrence had a new boo. I found their relationship exhausting eventhough I was rooting for them initially. Too many breakups and too many makeups.
sssshhhhhhiiiitttt this episode has me crying and forgiving myself , I have been around some shitty ass people and forgot that good things do and can happen all you have to do is push and not give up.
One thing that I wish they would have expound upon was Issa and Lawrence's engagement. She made a very small reference to it while on the phone with Molly in the last scene.
Omg I loved the ending! I was not a part of the Lawrence hive at all lol but I'm glad they ended up together the way they ended up. They were both mature, successful in their careers, and open for love. They were honest finally with themselves and made it work. I agree that the last season could have been filled with more of what happened in the finale. That would be my only critique too. I loved Nathan until the last episode. I don't like that he still was ignoring Issa and ghosted her again then tried to come back again. He doesn't seem to have grown too much. He did take his mental health into account but didn't handle the relationship the right way. I'm glad they broke up once and for all. I never thought I would say that lol. I agree with you about Lawrence fitting the relationships in Issa's life better than Nathan. I noticed at Tiffany's party last week everyone was dressed so nicely and then there was Nathan. Everyone's career seemed to be upwardly mobile. And then there was Nathan. He stuck out like a sore thumb. He might have felt that way as well. He wasn't a good fit. He was sweet but looking back on everything, it definitely wasn't going to work in the long run. I definitely wanted to see more of Kelli's story with her new love and baby. They didn't even show her as pregnant really. I wanted to know if Tiffany was ever happy in Denver. I wanted to see both Taurean and Lawrence propose (Issa had a big ring on when she was putting lipgloss on with her left hand lol) I wanted more but I'm still happy with the overall result of the last episode. 😊 I will truly miss this show. It was so awesome seeing two dark skin black women thrive in their careers and love lives. They got it all in the end and that is something we rarely see happen for dark skin women on tv. That made me so happy. I love this show and will miss it so much. I wonder if they have merch. 🤔 I want one of those sweat suits the crew was wearing in the documentary.
@Life With Shawnda Did u notice that Issa and Lawrence were engaged at the end? Most ppl I talk to missed that! When she says to Molly, "That's what I have to look forward to, oh no!" That's the clue to check the finger!
Thanks for all of your reviews. I knew that Issa would get back with Lawrence and I was ambivalent about it. But it made sense in terms of the series. I laughed when Lawrence's mother tried to not so subtly "matchmake" him with Condola.
I am happy about the finale a bit rushed though I am really going to miss your reviews too thanks for doing this and also all the community in the comments. This serie was so good for the culture it was so nice to relate to the characters and also reading al the comments what an era ending. But so proud of Issa Rae and all the actors.
Marvelous🥳Monday & I totally agree with you that there should've been some new details shown about each characters life moving forward in the episodes leading up to the finale. You did an Amazing review👌🏾. Blessings👑 Life With Shawnda👸🏾🙌🏾💍💒💖
It felt like a fantasy for fans of Lawrence and Issa. To make lonely women believe that they will get rich and that their ex will want them back imo. Like a typical love story bs... makes all her progress go away, since they weren't enough to push each other in the first place, i feel like they both settled.
All of those fuller episodes could have been written better to wrap up the finale. Like for example: it would have been nice to see both Molly and Issa’s proposals. I would have loved to see Kelli’s baby. We already knew in a way that Molly guy was her person. They could have honored Mollys mom better. I don’t know how to feel about Issa and Lawrence. I almost forgot she cheated lol Lawrence blew up Issa’s life when he had more than enough time to express himself. Smh
I almost tagged you in a post on IG but i don’t know if you saw it or not it had a picture of molly in a white dress and issa and Lawrence beside her it made me happy for Molly (haven’t watched your review yet) but I just asked someone for spoilers and was super dissappointed about Nathan but figured they prolly set it up the way you said where Nathan broke up with her .. I still think they should’ve made (if they did) make issa break up with Nathan bc honestly she’s been on trash so 🤷🏾♀️
i feel like this episode was rushed. The time lapse with 10 birthdays in one episode was too much. They couldve fit alot into the season instead of dragging Issa and Nathan toxic relationship and just focusing on that. They had all this season to focus on alot more instead of putting so much in the last episode.
Was this series a culturally and geographically-centered provincial setting or an economic class setting. I could rationalize its coherence as an amalgam of attitudes into this quilt of a series. As an amalgam quilt, it provides a survey of different aspects as an exhibition. Whether my view reflects me more than this series' narrative which I find as a niche reality, at best. I see and appreciate the individual angst but not a depiction that's representative of that age cohort's black experience, in general, beyond its niche presumptions and assumptions for our engaged credibility for that cultural milieu presented.
@@theTruthSeekerishere Probably true of both. Nuance is not of the 'clean cut' but of the ambiguous and indefinite, even messy. So any reaction and response would reflect the reaction to that state
@@theTruthSeekerishere The final episode I still had my qualms on the general premise of the plot structure but enjoyed the optics of the cast being in such a production of their definition-no matter my opinion of its construction.
Didn't like the Finale. Very choppy. I only saw the first and last episodes of Season 5.. Didn't like the writing for either. Issa seemed to still be childish at the end, then suddenly "grew up" in the last year shown. I didn't buy it.
Did you notice in that last scene this was the first time her inner me reflection didn't say anything??? Hunny now that is growth!
I'm back. I loved every review from you🥰. I loved seeing women who look like me and go through the same things I go through on tv. It was refreshing to witness a couple break up, become better people and reconnect again. That has literally happened to two my girlfriends and they are now happily married. This was the most realistic 'black girl doing normal s***' show and I enjoyed every bit of it. Hope to see more from ISSA!!!
Did you notice Issa's engagement ring during the kitchen scene!? She made a comment to Molly at the end about "Is this what I have to look forward to?" I can't believe they didn't show us the engagement ;-(
Yes, I caught that! I wish we could’ve seen more of that or been given more context
I don't think they needed to show us the engagement. It was inevitable with Issa & Lawrence.
I think Issa did it her way and wrapped the series up Beautifully. Cried when she and Molly had their dress in the bathroom moment. It was well balanced and I am glad I got to experience INSECURE for 5 Seasons. So glad Molly got married and Issa and Lawrence are going forward and Nathan got away from the drama he didn't want. You did a great review Shawnda 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Agreed 👍🏽 i couldn't keep it together during the wedding dress moment. I was girl they're not real get it together 😄 (didn't work) I am so happy Lawrence and Issa ended up together. There was never any other right outcome for me.

I’m going to miss your Insecure reviews along with this show. Your explanations, visuals and voiceovers are the best!
I didn’t think I would like the finale but I actually loved it. It seems like they all got their happy ending. I love that the explored other people for Issa and Lawrence before they finally got together bc it shows that they really want to be with each other. The scene with Issa and Molly after the wedding had me crying. They are the true love story of the show and the broken pu**y reference at the end was the perfect way to end the series. Issa Rae created an all time classic for this series and I’m so proud of her.
I’m so happy they ended up together my heart was like yes Issa finally everything she wanted has come to fruition beautiful ending for her friends as well.
Issa was wearing a ring also. So she's either married or engaged to Lawrence 💍
Yessss! They show the ring like 2 or 3 times when she is on the phone with Molly at the end. I think engaged because when Molly is going on about her husband being all over her on the honeymoon, Issa's response was " Is that what I have to look forward to?"
Issa has on an engagement/wedding ring anybody peep that in last scene b4 her and Lawrence go to dinner ???
They robbed us of that proposal/engagement too. After everything we've been through with these two why not give us that?
I saw that too! And when she was putting her makeup on as well in the red suit
I think (like you had to assume a lot in this episode) it was just assumed they did get married. I did. Because if you recall in this scene that you are talking about, Issa said to Molly “Is this what I have to look forward to?” in response to Molly talking about her husband being all under her and such on their trip.

Preach!!! I was always team Lawrence.
@@EclecticElegance13 me too!
I love him too 💕Seeing them together made me cry because they exude real chemistry even if it’s for play play! Jay Ellis being brought to tears in the documentary shows they had a true loving friendship on set ☺️
Yesss! If this show ended without them getting back together, I was going to be so hurt! Lol Lawrence truly loves Issa. My heart is full.
🥺😁🙌🏾
@@EverEssence4790 they really do exude real chemistry.
I honestly don't know how to feel about Issa back with Lawrence. One thing I do know is that this show will truly be missed.
Let's be honest the last 2 season were trash
Issa didn’t do anything wrong. Nathan and Issa aren’t married or engaged. She is free to talk to other men as long as it isn’t sexting. Why in the world would she ever tell Nathan that Lawrence was back in town? If their relationship was strong, it wouldn’t matter if one of their exes is back in town. I was satisfied with how the series wrapped up. It seemed a little sweet that Issa and Lawrence finally find their way back to each other. It seemed that they were ready for a healthy relationship.
It was so satisfying that issa went with lawrence. There’s something sweet about them growing up and coming back together in the end it reminds me of if it is meant to be it will come back. I agreed with all your critiques and compliments
I think if they would have made EP 9 ep 5 that would have given the storyline of Issa and Lawerence time flesh out more as well Taureen, they could have set that relationship in motion in that Episode 2.
Not only am I going to miss the show, but I’ll also miss your reviews for it! You always point out the subtle elements that I missed while watching. Like the pole separating Issa & Nathan. I truly enjoyed the finale and I’m happy we got the closure we were hoping for with each character.
You're so sweet. I'm going to miss doing these reviews too.
I loved the ending I feel Issa and Prentice ended it perfectly. I didn't want her with Lawrence but for the show that made the most sense. I do t think Issa settled, I think she truly followed her heart, not if Lawrence was the same man from season 1 just sitting around doing nothing that would have been settling. I'm so going to miss this show and your reviews.
I loved the finale. I'm content with the finale. But did Molly's mother have to die for Molly to be happy and reach this point in her life?
Molly's mom had one wish, to see her babygirl get married. It's so sad that didn't happen.
@@lifewithshawnda I get this happens in real life, but as a scripted show, they could have let her live
@The Introverted Beauty ooh so bittersweet & true
You provided great perspective Shawnda,but i would have to disagree with Issa & Lawrence. If you recall in Season 4 Issa said Lawrence makes her happy. So when he asked her "Are you happy"? She truly wasnt happy with Nathan 😞 She loved the idea of being in a relationship but she wasn't happy with ole boy Nathan (They wasnt a good match anyway) Also, I believed she wanted Lawrence to fight for her Love (which in the end, He did)
Yesss
I don't get the Lawrence hate. I'm happy they ended up together, but this episode was definitely rushed to me. Kept jumping from birthday to birthday...then Molly's mom dying which we felt no emotion from because it was so quick.
Exactly! No funeral or nothing. They spent the whole season getting us invested in Molly’s mom just to have her death storyline last 20 seconds.
@@StylishlySaved1 how does he blow her life up and walks away? If anything she does that to him.
Lawrence is the MAN... I think some people hating on Lawerence because of his personal choice in real life. Get over it people. He chose a white woman and they are a family.
@@StylishlySaved1 he didn’t have a baby on her. He had child when him and Issa weren’t together. And he had an STD when him and Issa weren’t together.
Same and I don’t get the struggle love analysis that people attach to Issa and Lawrence. An imperfect relationship (communication issues and discontentment with career/life choices that impact your mood which affect your partner) does not equate to toxicity or struggle love.
At the wedding, Tiffany was pregnant. Kelly already would have had her kid because it was one year later.
Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention that there was no traffic when Issa was driving through, and Lawrence asked her how was traffic and she said 'the usual.'
Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention that her mirror self didn't come out at the end.
Also, Tiffany and Kelly relationship really shined to me in this episode. I liked how Tiffany asked the man 'so how did you two meet?' And when Kelly giggled ,she shuffled Issa away so Tiffany could investigate how serious the relationship really is.
Also, when Molly came out and Kelly told Issa 'she looks so happy, you did a great job.' I love the subtext there. Brilliant writing.
Issa calling Jah 'a man who knows what he wants' while the camera is on Lawrence. Brilliant writing/directing.
And Tiffany's reaction when Kelly announced her baby was exciting. Because now Tiffany and Kelly can relate about motherhood together and it was something Tiffany could never have any of the girls be empathetic about.
Great review! You forgot Issa engagement to Lawrence at the end
@@erikaluamba6016 oh I intentionally didn't mention that. Lol. But the sub text was pretty obvious. They made a pact that birthdays are special. And by allowing Lawrence to propose to her on her birthday, shows she is secure in herself and what she is doing in life. I loved every second of it and how they implied instead of showing it directly.
@@Sj_blackphoenix I see, I see 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Did not want Issa back with Lawrence but I'm happy Nathan escaped an unhealthy, toxic situation. I want the best for Nathan
Love your review Shawn!! In the last scene, there was THE PAINTING!!! I knew all along they would find their way back to one another.I agree with you about the pacing but I think she did a great job in spite of COVID. I'm really going to miss INSECURE. Going to cancel my HBO subscription TODAY 🤣🤣...
I'm so glad Shawn mentioned the painting! I kept wondering if they would show the picture Lawrence bought during his date with Issa at Art Walk.
I intend on binge watching all the Insecure Reviews you’ve done now the show is finished! I wish I would of known about your channel years prior so I could of watched them as I was watching the seasons 😭 I enjoyed the reviews you did for Season 5 though, Loved it! Can’t wait for your Finance/ Investing content! Much Love ❤️🧡
I was waiting for your review but yeah - 100% agree with your synopsis - ep 9 and 10 was the best episode and the finale (though a bit confusing) didn’t leave me wanting. It amazes me that they did so much with such short seasons and a short series. Issa Rae showed the world that we are all we need which makes this feel like a win for all of us. When she said she was rooting for everyone Black she made her word bond.
I honestly peeked at countless reviews to keep my Insecure withdrawal at bay. And by far your review was my favorite.Your nuances and attention to detail added so much to the joy! And like you I agree that the season lived up to its namesake. Because life really is unpredictable. Thumbs Up!
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate you for watching Tanya.
Praying 🙏🏾 for an Insecure spin-off
Don't know if yall noticed the guy in the best buy uniform, looked like Lawrence for a moment
I really enjoy your reviews and that you point out things that are not necessarily obvious like the pole between Issa & Nathan representing Lawrence being the block between them that kept them from getting closer in their relationship and the clothing choices the characters wear. I felt like Issa’s speech about how things were all in her head & the only thing stopping her was her was also a metaphor for her relationship with Lawrence. I really enjoyed her heart to heart moment with Molly after her wedding. I wish they would’ve used the whole season to explore the finale’s storylines, but overall I was pleased with the final episode because I felt like a lot of what was touched on was very true to life and I can really relate to it. I also noticed in the final scene with Issa putting on her lipstick in the mirror there was no mirror Issa talking to her representing that she’s finally stopped over thinking things and has become “secure” in her insecurities.
I was so disappointed in the finale. I love how everyone wrapped up except Issa, it felt like she settled. I felt like we don't really see any growth in the Issa/Lawrence love story. Prior to the wedding, we see Lawrence blurt out he loves Issa but then when Issa calls him on his birthday, he goes out to smash whatever girl he's with at the time, seemingly not caring about Issa's call. It just felt so disrespectful and the timing so off. Even in the end, Issa didn't seem happy to me, just stuck, like it made sense to go back to Lawrence because what else is there to do?
I loved your point about security never being a place where someone arrives but I do think one can be confident. One can make a choice and pursue that choice with all their might... I don't feel like I saw that ending for Issa/Lawrence. I wish they kept Issa and Lawrence single or had Issa with a new man at the wedding and a scene that show Lawrence and Issa truly support each other's life but have moved on from each other.
Maybe the ending would've been sold if it wasn't rushed but I find it so hard to believe.
Hold on Issa had a man nasir
Hey girl hey. Welcome back. I had a hard time enjoying this season but you made it more interesting with your reviews. Thank you. Your objective views are very similar to my thought process.
I understand you're a life and relationship coach... Imma need your help girl.
This was such a great review, really enjoyed your analogies especially with the poll/column. Very observant, wow! Thank you!!
Insecure was a good show with alot of potential but it kinda became more about memorable “moments” rather than actual great “shows”. This finale was just meh for me 🤷🏾♀️. I watched this show & “Awkward Black Girl” from the very beginning so I was invested enough to keep watching it to the end. Normally a long running show coming to an end would have me all in my feelings but no…I’m just interested to see what else is sparking Issa Rae’s passions now
I don't know why but your review had me more emotional than the actual episode🤣 Beautifully done, Shawnda❤
Right?
Congratulations Shawnda on great and spot on reviews throughout the seasons.
You really spot on details that we easily miss. I didn't even remember the painting. Also, I've heard that red means power/victory in television, and Issa was dressed all in red in her last work scene episode and when she came home to Lawrence as a victory over everything 🙌🏾. She had the same hairstyle as in the dream of the end of season two when she said goodbye to Lawrence. I love love the way the episode came in full circle even if it was rushed. Also, As you said, the ending made more sense with Issa and Lawrence ending up together. Although, this season was what it was, I loved the theme of "not everything happens the way we want them to and in the time we wish them too" but if we can just give ourselves chances and try to work it out, we are able to find ourself happy in them. People that are not happy with Issa ending up with Achy Lawry are immature in my opinion and didn't really peeped the lesson the show gave. Love and growth conquers all, we create our own happiness. I don't think Issa with Lawrence is a struggle love because not all healthy relationships goes smoothly at first, sometimes there are real issues before getting there because of our own selfish ways. That's a great depiction of life. The best moment was Issa leaving the episode with no mirror her finally secured in her insecurities.
I think the season would have been best if each episode were an hour. I didn't like that some stuff were missing like Issa and Molly reconciliation from the end of season 4. This finale should have been at least the last three episodes. I'm mad we didn't get to see Molly's mom funeral. Another regret was not having a scene between Kelly and Chad, they were both so funny. However, I'm proud of every character growth. Insecure is my all time favorite show as a whole and was very well written and directed. I love it for the culture and I look forward to many more shows like this. Did y'all notice the blue couch in the documentary, Issa and Lawrence couch in season 1? 😂 So proud of Issa Rae. She's a legend 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
She even putt Jhernandez do it like it’s your bday song in it
Not having scene the final episode yet, this review EVERRRYTHANG!!! Insecure is absolutely iconic and Issa's love of the culture shines so brightly. The show will missed but i'm so grateful it did exist. Thank you Shawnda, great review!
Thank you Viola!
Loved your review as always 💛 The point about the column being in the way of Issa and Nathan was spot on !! Lol I do feel like they could’ve made Nathan make sense but🤷🏾♀️ ultimately if she’s happy with Lawrence I’m happy for her..
Crazy how many people missed the ring and comment to Molly referencing their engagement. 😂
I love the fact that you catch all of the symbolism... so beautifly done... let's all give Shawnda a standing O for her work as well..... 👏 👏👏 (thanks for keeping it classy too😉)
I can't believe Issa got back with Lawrence. I don't see them getting together as a happy ending. I'm happy Issa is happy. But, in a way, it seems like they are glamorizing struggle love.
Why do you consider Lawrence and Issa struggle love? They had issues in their relationship when they both were stuck career wise. Lawrence was struggling with getting a job and Issa hated hers. From what I remember that was the only issue they had, and their lack of communication which is very common. They didn’t really get back together until season 4 and it was brief because of the baby. They never really got a chance to make it work until now. I think her relationships with Nathan and Daniel were more toxic than Lawerence actually.
They depicted true love... And true prevailed and did not fail. They found security in themselves. They are HAPPY and they deserve it. They FIT.
@@patriciasmith5778 That’s your opinion. 👌🏼
@@patriciasmith5778 I agree! It seems anything that’s not perfect is equated to toxic and struggle love. I think their relationship is a true depiction of healthy differences/obstacles in a relationship (except Issa’s infidelity) that you can overcome: communication issues, dissatisfaction with career and life choices, forgetting the romance etc.
I feel like it's struggle love too. I don't believe in going through all that mess just to be with someone. Healthy relationships have normal wear and tear not constant issues, break ups/make ups, and baby daddies/mamas. They can keep that.
I see you Coach spotting all the symbolism! Felt like Issa settled. Didn't see very much growth in her character and felt like everything dragged out too long just for predictable endings. Excited to see what Isaa does in the future now that Insecure is done.
I notice that when they showed we got You all, they havent really changed? So I believe that shows Issa that she was right in leave.
PS: I love your reviews
There was another episode when her reflection didn't say anything back
Same didn't like how they (Lawrence and Issa) got back together. But I get it and how they presented it was nice. So many feel during the last show. I truly enjoyed it!❤
Great recap of this episode and ending. They grew as individuals over the years. A great show. So many of these actors will go even further because of the show Insecure. I loved the friendship and love ship between these women. Especially being Black women. Thank you Issa Rae.
Issa was definitely over it and it showed. I'm glad it's over.
Hey 👋🏾 Coach Shawn. Waited for your review.
Wow you are quick! Hope you enjoy.
@@lifewithshawnda yes, always enjoyed your reviews. Hope you do more reviews in the future.
I think they filmed it post pandemic so they were likely limited with how they filmed which could be the reason they didn't dive into each character fully.
Kelli character was undeveloped throughout the whole series it was hard to believe she was an attorney
Nice catch with the Art Walk painting at the end. A lot of other reviewers have focused on lingering in the mirror to show that "Mirror Issa" was no longer there, underlining Issa's now more secure mindset and life position.
I’m glad Issa and Nathan came to an end he was emotionally unavailable from jump he disappeared on earlier seasons, when she cried on his chest he just walked out on her and when they had disagreements he wouldn’t speak so good riddance but Lawrence was toxic too lol I’m conflicted with the ending it felt rushed but ultimately I’m sad it’s come to an end 😩🤷🏽♀️….
This was a solid series.. .. I'll definitely miss it!
I low key wanted them to explore the possibility of Issa getting with Crenshawn, but I get that - as you said Shawnda- Lawrence made sense in terms of coming full circle with her friends etc. I still think meh, but it's cool lol
Love the show but I can't say season 5 was my favorite. They gave us a season worth of content in an episode. 30 minute episodes or not they had time to tell each of these stories better. Show us Kelli meeting her new boo. Show is Taurean and Lawrence propose. Show us Molly's mom's funeral. They rushed it and there was no reason to.
I was satisfied with the ending. I wish we could have seen a proposal or even better, Issa in a wedding dress walking down the aisle towards Lawrence as the final scene. That would have been icing on the cake. I'm glad they deaded that whole Nathan narrative, it was boo boo from the beginning (no real chemistry). I agree that they did a great job wrapping up everyone's story, even Tiffany's fake happy story lol. Looking forward to another high quality black love series to come. 🥰🥰
I only have a little confusion about this last time Jump. At the wedding she wasn't engaged; but during Mollys honeymoon she was; but also...Jah is now like 5.
I was thinking he was about 3 and maybe he proposed the night of the wedding who knows it's just so much shit they skipped over but I'm happy with the ending I love Lawrence for issa and issa for Lawrence and I will miss this show so much
@@clamlame8754they skipped over TOOOOOO much the last three episodes felt rushed
I never saw it for Nathan, I’m happy Issa went back to the love of her life despite him not being perfect. I love seeing Molly in love, Kelly being pregnant was just weird.
I actually understand Kelli being pregnant. Look how much she loves and adores Simone. She literally bought her a matching baby tuxedo. She’s gonna spoil her kid rotten. Simone was practice.
@@lifewithshawnda I didn’t think of that lol
You so right Issa has been doing Nathan dirty.
Tbh, Issa does all her men dirty. But nobody wants to admit it, everybody wants to act Issa is perfect and everybody else is toxic when SHE’S the toxic one.
I believe for Issa Dee and Nathan to could have had a real chance if he at the least verbalized what was going on with him when Issa realized he disappeared at Tiffany's baby shower. No matter why he left she was unable to reestablish the feelings that developed when they first met. Their relationship was more natural and fluid, but once reunited she was unable to connect with with to the same extent when they first met. Once Lawrence was able to forgive Issa it was just too late for Nathan
Really great commentary and analysis, I had to agree with most of your points - thank you! I've subscribed xxx
even though i loved the ending, i felt bad for nathan
why? he seem happy and finally liking LA
I absolutely love your reviews! Did y’all see Issa’s ring at the end? When she was in the phone with Molly talking about the broken …. Issa said “is that what I have to look forward to?” I’m going to miss this show and your reviews!!
Excellent commentary. Thank you.
You're very welcome.
Nathan should have left, he needed it. We could all tell that she did not like Nathan like that and her heart still belonged to Lawrence. Getting into a physical altercation over someone who isn't feeling you like that isn't good for your mental health. I kind of wanted Issa to get over it with all of the time that has passed, but I'm happy that she's happy. We all have to live in our truth and do what's best for us in the end. I am happy to have experienced this show and this was a game-changer for Black entertainment. The end of an era.
I feel the same way about the pacing.
I’m so sad it’s over 😩😩😩 but honestly I’m pretty content with how the show ended. I didn’t care for her and lawrence but it’s obviously what they both wanted so I’m glad they got that. It’s annoying that issa still seemed to be sad and not completely happy with how things ended up but honestly that’a life sometimes and I appreciate how realistic the show is. I was soooooo happy seeing Molly get married, that had to be my favorite part of the whole thing.
Low key I was happier to see Molly at her wedding than Issa and Lawrence making up. I guess their on and off relationship just wore me out. Even in this last episode she had a new guy or two and Lawrence had a new boo. I found their relationship exhausting eventhough I was rooting for them initially. Too many breakups and too many makeups.
sssshhhhhhiiiitttt this episode has me crying and forgiving myself , I have been around some shitty ass people and forgot that good things do and can happen all you have to do is push and not give up.
One thing that I wish they would have expound upon was Issa and Lawrence's engagement. She made a very small reference to it while on the phone with Molly in the last scene.
This was a great ending! I didn’t have much confidence but I’m actually content now with it ending
Girl i was looking for this last night and this morning. Let’s go!!!
Omg I loved the ending! I was not a part of the Lawrence hive at all lol but I'm glad they ended up together the way they ended up. They were both mature, successful in their careers, and open for love. They were honest finally with themselves and made it work.
I agree that the last season could have been filled with more of what happened in the finale. That would be my only critique too.
I loved Nathan until the last episode. I don't like that he still was ignoring Issa and ghosted her again then tried to come back again. He doesn't seem to have grown too much. He did take his mental health into account but didn't handle the relationship the right way. I'm glad they broke up once and for all. I never thought I would say that lol.
I agree with you about Lawrence fitting the relationships in Issa's life better than Nathan. I noticed at Tiffany's party last week everyone was dressed so nicely and then there was Nathan. Everyone's career seemed to be upwardly mobile. And then there was Nathan. He stuck out like a sore thumb. He might have felt that way as well. He wasn't a good fit. He was sweet but looking back on everything, it definitely wasn't going to work in the long run.
I definitely wanted to see more of Kelli's story with her new love and baby. They didn't even show her as pregnant really. I wanted to know if Tiffany was ever happy in Denver. I wanted to see both Taurean and Lawrence propose (Issa had a big ring on when she was putting lipgloss on with her left hand lol) I wanted more but I'm still happy with the overall result of the last episode. 😊
I will truly miss this show. It was so awesome seeing two dark skin black women thrive in their careers and love lives. They got it all in the end and that is something we rarely see happen for dark skin women on tv. That made me so happy. I love this show and will miss it so much. I wonder if they have merch. 🤔 I want one of those sweat suits the crew was wearing in the documentary.
@Life With Shawnda Did u notice that Issa and Lawrence were engaged at the end? Most ppl I talk to missed that! When she says to Molly, "That's what I have to look forward to, oh no!" That's the clue to check the finger!
Thanks for all of your reviews. I knew that Issa would get back with Lawrence and I was ambivalent about it. But it made sense in terms of the series.
I laughed when Lawrence's mother tried to not so subtly "matchmake" him with Condola.
Truly enjoyed your insight. Loe and will miss the show. Thank You Issa Rae, cast and crew for 5 amazing seasons.
I am happy about the finale a bit rushed though I am really going to miss your reviews too thanks for doing this and also all the community in the comments. This serie was so good for the culture it was so nice to relate to the characters and also reading al the comments what an era ending. But so proud of Issa Rae and all the actors.
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching the reviews.
Marvelous🥳Monday & I totally agree with you that there should've been some new details shown about each characters life moving forward in the episodes leading up to the finale. You did an Amazing review👌🏾. Blessings👑 Life With Shawnda👸🏾🙌🏾💍💒💖
You should do reviews of married at first sight! Your take would be phenomenal! And I agree molly grew the most and deserved the happy ending she got
I so wanted Jay and Issa to be a real couple.
Yeah they are cute
I love your reviews
Excellent review!!
Glad you liked it!
It felt like a fantasy for fans of Lawrence and Issa. To make lonely women believe that they will get rich and that their ex will want them back imo. Like a typical love story bs... makes all her progress go away, since they weren't enough to push each other in the first place, i feel like they both settled.
I knew Nathan would be the one to walk away. They couldn't make Issa look like the bad guy again.
Great video! Thanks 🤩
You’re welcome 😊
Great commentary!
Thank you!
Does anyone know the name of the song when Lawrence enters Issa’s office? It is an instrumental song! Plzzzz 😩😩
Such a good review
Thanks so much!
You did an excellent review. I just subscribed to your page.
All of those fuller episodes could have been written better to wrap up the finale. Like for example: it would have been nice to see both Molly and Issa’s proposals. I would have loved to see Kelli’s baby. We already knew in a way that Molly guy was her person. They could have honored Mollys mom better. I don’t know how to feel about Issa and Lawrence. I almost forgot she cheated lol Lawrence blew up Issa’s life when he had more than enough time to express himself. Smh
Yes. There was so much they could have dove deeper into but instead we got Nathan at the beach and the barber shop and Molly's lost dog.
@@lifewithshawnda I’m getting upset all over again! Lol 😂😂😂
@@lifewithshawnda 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Issa was engaged too
Wait i missed the part where kelly got married. Did she marry homeboy/did he marry her before she has his baby?
I feel like it's gonna be a spin off sans Issa's storyline.
The finale sucked
I almost tagged you in a post on IG but i don’t know if you saw it or not it had a picture of molly in a white dress and issa and Lawrence beside her it made me happy for Molly (haven’t watched your review yet) but I just asked someone for spoilers and was super dissappointed about Nathan but figured they prolly set it up the way you said where Nathan broke up with her .. I still think they should’ve made (if they did) make issa break up with Nathan bc honestly she’s been on trash so 🤷🏾♀️
i feel like this episode was rushed. The time lapse with 10 birthdays in one episode was too much. They couldve fit alot into the season instead of dragging Issa and Nathan toxic relationship and just focusing on that. They had all this season to focus on alot more instead of putting so much in the last episode.
This episode was some bull ish! Such a disappointing end to a great show.
Was this series a culturally and geographically-centered provincial setting or an economic class setting. I could rationalize its coherence as an amalgam of attitudes into this quilt of a series. As an amalgam quilt, it provides a survey of different aspects as an exhibition. Whether my view reflects me more than this series' narrative which I find as a niche reality, at best.
I see and appreciate the individual angst but not a depiction that's representative of that age cohort's black experience, in general, beyond its niche presumptions and assumptions for our engaged credibility for that cultural milieu presented.
As a platform for black performers exhibiting their style of expression, it's a needed beachhead, superstructure for future networking productions
My mother would say this is "wordy"🤣
It's also not as well written as you might believe it is.
@@theTruthSeekerishere Probably true of both. Nuance is not of the 'clean cut' but of the ambiguous and indefinite, even messy.
So any reaction and response would reflect the reaction to that state
@@theTruthSeekerishere The final episode I still had my qualms on the general premise of the plot structure but enjoyed the optics of the cast being in such a production of their definition-no matter my opinion of its construction.
Didn't like the Finale. Very choppy. I only saw the first and last episodes of Season 5.. Didn't like the writing for either. Issa seemed to still be childish at the end, then suddenly "grew up" in the last year shown. I didn't buy it.
