Insecure
Hooray for Issa Rae. Her half-hour comedy series earned a Golden Globe nomination in its first season by finding the universal in a particular friendship between two young African-American women. After a season finale showed Rae’s Issa Dee finished with the man she’d cheated on, she’ll be plunging awkwardly into dating again before starting to wonder if old Lawrence was a keeper. Why do women forgive cheating but not men? Why do white men who are lawyers get paid more than their black female peers? Those questions and more fuel Season 2. Sunday, July 23, at 10:30 p.m., HBO ■
