This Weekend I Have … a Half-Hour, and I Miss Socializing
‘Insecure’
When to watch: Sunday at 10 p.m., on HBO.
Season 4 of “Insecure” kicks off as Issa (played by Issa Rae) hosts a party for work, though as always she can’t quite focus. Her friends are ostensibly there to support her, but they’re also demanding in their own ways, and romance woes are never too far from the surface for any of them. The show continues to be over invested in Issa’s ex, Lawrence, but everyone knows the real emotional tension and story heft come from Issa’s tortured relationship with her BFF, Molly (Yvonne Orji), and their push-pull of loving each other but judging each other.
… an Hour, and I Like European Crime Shows
‘Baptiste’
When to watch: Sunday at 10 p.m., on PBS. (Check local listings.)
If you loved the bleak but engrossing series “The Missing,” watch this spinoff that centers on the French detective Julien Baptiste (Tchéky Karyo,). He gets roped in to investigating a girl’s disappearance in Amsterdam, and as you might expect, once he starts pulling the thread, he discovers a whole new messy world of criminality. Season 1 of “The Missing” is perhaps the pinnacle of the dead-kid show, but this has less of that smothering sense of tragedy and more of a patient cloud of sadness, like the difference between velvet and lace. It’s more slow burn than whammo action, and so is Baptiste himself.
… 80 Minutes, and I Hate Goodbyes
‘Fleabag’
When to watch: Starting Friday, on Amazon.
One of TV’s best and most interesting shows, “Fleabag,” started as a one-woman stage show, and now that theatrical production is available to download for $5, with proceeds benefiting British charities. There are a lot of differences between the stage show and the TV series; much of the plot here is similar to the first season’s, but the vibe is a little different, and the stage version is more specifically focused on sex. What is not different at all is how layered and compelling Phoebe Waller-Bridge is as a performer and writer, tapping into a volatility and vulnerability that are always in conflict but rarely in the ways you would expect.
