Insecure

HBO’s hit series Insecure has received numerous accolades for depicting another side of life in South Los Angeles, more positive than what viewers generally see in movies or mainstream TV. While many scenes are filmed in the South L.A. neighbourhood, hangouts for Issa and friends are sprinkled throughout the city.

  • Mavericks Flat– Once known as the “Apollo of the West,” and one of the foremost jazz, soul and R&B venues in the city during the 60s and 70s, artists such as the Temptations and Marvin Gaye performed at this Leimert Park landmark.
