Decidingwho Issa ends up within the final episode also elicited very strong opinions within theInsecurewriters room.

We had a lot of conversations.

We did a lot of voting, Rae toldVoguein October.

I dont think were going to satisfy anyone.

I, as a writer, changed my mind a lot, and that will be reflected.

Shes certainly had a few options over the past five years.

From TSA Bae to Daniel, heres a definitive ranking of Issas leading men.

So much for Issa building that ho-tation roster.

Theres no shame in a less-than-ideal rebound, right?

Regardless, the lackluster Season 2 hookups were short-lived and probably for the best.

Issa wasnt really over Lawrence and hadnt quite figured out how to pull off the whole ho phase thing.

Issa couldnt stop nervously giggling whenever he touched her.

Reggie Conquest as Calvin, aka TSA Bae, in ‘Insecure’ Season 4

OK, so he wasnt exactly Issas jot down, but he gasp seemed to care about her.

When she threw her first block party, he provided free security and even recruited more attendees.

Calvin is a break from Lawrenceand the other guys, Conquest explained to BET in 2020.

If theyre the snack, lunch and dinner, Calvin is the cheat meal.

I have been Team Daniel, she revealed in the OctoberVogueinterview.

As an artist, I identify with his insecurities, his pride.

Ive been Team Lawrence; Ive been Team Nathan; Ive been all over the map.

Lawrence

Perhaps the most debated of all Issas relationships has been theroller coaster with Lawrence.

Were they in the right place to be together in Season 1?

But theyve both grown leaps and bounds since then, and are truly thriving in their own ways.
