| Insecure |
Happy Boxing Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, December 26!
Tonight's Top Pick is the series finale to the underappreciated Insecure (HBO, 10 p.m.), a show about thirtysomething Black woman Issa (and her friends) trying to manage an awkward social life with plenty of dead end relationships and a professional life where she seeks a career away from sexism and racism. The show has a distinct and unique voice about female friendships, life about minorities, and self-confidence.
Elsewhere, Yellowjackets face starvation, 1883 ventures to the wild West, Hightown's Great White operation is exposed, Desna is Claws Up, Yellowstone makes a difficult decision, The Freak Brothers ends its season, Letterkenny turns 10, and Curb Your Enthusiasm hosts an American hero.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)

Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO, 10:40 p.m.): SEASON FINALE. Larry gives out some unsolicited marriage advice. Larry hosts an event for an American hero.
⭐ Insecure (HBO, 10 p.m.): SERIES FINALE. "When she struggles to find the time to see her friends, Issa pauses to take a look back at the journey that brought her to her current position." The show did a time jump earlier this season, and while I was mixed on it at first, it works on where we have been going with the endgame. The ladies are closer to fulfilling lives, personally and professionally. Issa Rae and Yvonne Orji are sooooo good.
