Season 4 Wine Downs
Something that Insecure does very well is knowing how to start a conversation on social media. For the past three seasons, creator Issa Rae and showrunner Prentice Penny sat down with a weekly guest to discuss the major events that went down in each episode and the inspiration behind certain storylines over a glass of wine. This season, the Wine Downs explored how the characters in the show evaluated their relationships as they determine who and what comes with them in the next phase of their lives. The coffee shop setting lends itself to these intimate conversations between the cast, exploring key themes from the episode while also paying homage to a type of space where creatives work and thrive.
