Although it’s been off the air for four years now, Insecure fans are still having trouble letting go. In a new interview with People, show star and creator Issa Rae said that there are still people begging her to change the ending. The show ends with Issa’s character getting back together with her on-again, off-again partner Lawrence (Jay Ellis), who many fans had already decided was a terrible partner.

“People have told me to reshoot, which is crazy because they didn’t like the decision that Issa makes in the end,” Rae explained in the interview. “I get asked for season 6 a lot — even this morning [Thursday, Jan. 30]. I had to just post because I got hacked this morning. Unfortunately, I fell for whatever phishing scams and now can’t get into my account. And I don’t even use it. So if you see crazy tweets for me, just know it’s not me [and I said], ‘Somebody, please help’ on my Insta Story. ‘I got hacked on Twitter.’ And somebody was like, ‘I’ll help you if you give me three more seasons of Insecure.’ So I’m like, y’all can’t even take me seriously.”
Rae said at the time that she was ready to let the show, which ran for five seasons, be done. “All the pressure — this was terrifying. Because you’re ending a show and people are gonna have their opinions,” the creator told Stephen Colbert at the time. “You don’t want to drop it, and we’re on HBO, which, you know, had another popular finale that people felt strongly about, and people come up to me like, ‘Girl, I can’t wait for the final season, just don’t Game of Thrones it.

The Fifth Element (1997)
THE FIFTH ELEMENT [1997] – Anniversary Trailer
A Bruce Willis classic, The Fifth Element was often used to demo the latest and greatest TVs in stores and at trade shows when it was released on DVD and later Blu-ray. And for good reason: it’s a stunningly visual cinematic masterpiece. The sci-fi action movie is set in the future 23rd century, where Korbon Dallas (Willis), a taxi driver, unwittingly becomes responsible for helping the Earth survive an attack. Thankfully, Dallas was also a former special forces major, so he knows a thing or two about defending against enemies and how to fight. Together, he and Leeloo (Mila Jovovich), a mysterious young woman who gets into his cab, fight the cosmic entity looking to take over the planet.
Dubbed one of those fantastic campy action movies, our writer calls The Fifth Element “camp in its purest and most unadulterated form, a guilty pleasure if ever there was one.” He lauds the “intentionally, over-the-top” stories as “completely irresistible.” Plus, who can resist a good, old-fashioned Bruce Willis action movie? Add sci-fi to the mix, and The Fifth Element is one of those movies you’ll never get tired of watching.
