The response to season one of Issa Rae's HBO series "Insecure" was so strong, particularly on social media, that countless memes were created about the star characters, and the show's male fans rallied behind the male lead after he had been cheated on.
It sparked the age-old debate about male and female relationships. And Rae loves the attention.
But Rae says she didn't let the fans and commentators influence them the creators as they began writing and filming the new episodes, which kicks off Sunday night.
Life has been busy for 32-year-old Rae, who earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role in the series. In the new eight-episode season, she's trying to move on after cheating on Lawrence, played by Jay Ellis.
