This episode of Pic.Think: TV focuses on the third season of Issa Rae's HBO comedy series "Insecure" with Sy, Raveen & Gladys. The first part of this episode (Friend or Foe?)warms up the discussion with a behind the scenes chit-chat between Raveen & Gladys with accompanying snippets from the third season's soundtrack. The discussion officially begins attempting to define what a "friend" means to us and whether or not we could be genuine friends with an ex-partner. With this, we then contemplate the concept of Platonic love, its roots in Greek philosophy and whether it's feasible or even possible. The second part (Preference or Prejudice?)progresses onto review the third season by questioning whether or not it successfully follows season 1 & 2. After this, we focus on Molly's initial reluctance towards interracial dating in this season, from which we ask whether it's an example of preference or prejudice. From this, we then question the moral difference between interracial and interfaith dating/marriage. The third part (Women-led TV) attempts to confirm whether Insecure is unique in comparison with other women-led TV series. We attempt to confirm this with the help of Robyn Bahr from The Hollywood Reporter's "Theory of the Four". According to Robyn Bahr, this theory is centred around "four female archetypes that serve to elucidate modern sexual politics" and, as such, we use this to confirm whether or not the four main female characters of the show - Issa, Molly, Tiffany & Kelli - are stereotypical examples found in women-led TV or if they stand multi-faceted and set-apart from the archetypes of this theory.
