While extending his exploration of Black American life, Nance also expands the premise of his first (and, to date, only) feature film, “An Oversimplification of Her Beauty,” from 2012, which is a personal, romantic, and metafictional drama told in the first person, or, rather, in two first persons-by himself and by his real-life former partner-with a teeming array of formats and styles. The new season, the first two episodes of which air Friday, is different. In the first season of Terence Nance’s HBO series “Random Acts of Flyness,” from 2018, he makes use of the episodic nature of serial television to do what a narrative feature film can’t: by collaborating with other writers and directors, he creates a work of collective imagination that’s a vast collage of Black American experience.
