The best part ofInsecureis talking aboutInsecure fussing over it, yelling at it, tweeting about it.
But whos the best dude onInsecure, and whos the worst?
The criteria: How is this man as a co-worker, boyfriend, sibling, or friend?
How often did he ghost, cheat, or flake?
The rules: The man in question must appear in two or more episodes ofInsecure.
So here is the definitive ranking of every man to appear onInsecure.
Dro
I hate this too tall, too tight-shirt-wearing man.
Scott Foley onDue North
He was aslave owner.
For whom, Ken?
He was the leader of the secret white meetings and the secret white emails.
Daniel
Oh, Daniel, Issas What if?
He was the fantasy that snapped her out of her relationship with Lawrence.
Issa hadnt felt appreciated or desired for years, but a perfectly timed Whats up?
from Daniel was enough to rekindle a friendship that was always a little something more.
He shows up to her work events and office unannounced, only to manipulate her attention.
Lawrence
We had to make it here eventually.
Issa was supportive (for four years!
until she couldnt give him any more emotional labor.
Lawrence was lazy and selfish and proud until he lashed out.
But where does that leave him?
He has the veneer of a nice guy because he dresses with intention and seems thoughtful.
He is a frustrated, jealous friend even when hes successful.
All he did was get a job and a nicer clothes.
Tasha was right about him in season two: You a fuck nigga whothinkshes a good dude.
Jidenna
Jidenna his character has a name, but truly, why does it matter here?
dated Molly for a few episodes in season one.
Their romance fizzles when she brings him to a co-workers engagement party and he introduces himself as her boyfriend.
I thought you needed a win, he told her.
Mr. Robinson
All Issas tenant does is not curb his dog and then lie about having one.
I appreciate the flex, but this is bad behavior!
But hes the only ex-bae in Issas life who is at least trying to be better.
After a few dates and a veryBeforetrilogy walk around Leimert Park, he ghosted her.
(He was also, she later learned, stealing her Wi-Fi.)
Taurean
Mollys co-worker at her second law firm always finds a way to have a funky attitude about something.
Hes a Where my hug at?
key in, more than happy to flirt with every woman within a five-mile radius.
(Even with Lawrence sleeping on his couch, Chad batted his eyelashes at Issa!)
Chad is pure chaotic neutral.
He will tolerate his friends messiness only to a point.
Chad is good, but not perfect.
Chad is messy, but not toxic.
Thats why hes here, near the very middle.
15 and 14.
Mollys brothers
Neither of Mollys brothers Jerome and Curtis have anything major going for them.
Theyre not as ambitious as she is, but they do seem much happier.
Mollys dad
Yes, he cheated on Mollys mom 20 years ago.
But thank God for growth!
He has been a loving and supportive husband and father ever since.
My standards are low, but this is acceptable.
Vince Staples
At the beginning of this list, I established some ground rules.
When you rank every single man onInsecure, it’s possible for you to follow your own rules!
Lionel
It hurts my heart to rank a list of men without Sterling K. Brown catapulting to the top.
and he was perfect on paper.
Molly didnt go for him because she was starting to fall for Dro table one for Miss Stake!
but Lionel wasnt actually that engaging.
Hes also (mostly) outgrown his weirdo, outdated ideas about masculine roles.
A daughter does not a moral compass make?
Justin
Allow me to reintroduce you toInsecures Mr.
I liked this man!
I wish he would come back.
Ahmal is the king of tough love, but for the right reasons.Andhe appreciates a well-timedKhia needle drop.
Quentin
Mollys Chicago-based co-worker was a nice guy, his preachers body be damned!
Granted, Molly is definitely not interested in him and needs to keep him safely in the friend zone.
But everyone deserves a Quentin!
I want a Quentin.
Whats not working in Andrews favor is that hes a little too guarded, even if hes supportive.
Who really cares if he makes backup plans for when Mollys job causes her to flake?
Jered
I never understood what Jereds flaws were, in Mollys eyes.
Jered is loyal, in spite of Mollys foolishness.
Thug Yoda
I feel like one of those TMZ pop-up headlines:Memba Him?
