Diarra from Detroit

This show is unexpectedly great. I cannot wait until the rest of the episodes premiere.

Honestly, I watched this show out of curiosity, and surprisingly it sucked me in. This show has an odd storyline, but it's super suspenseful and interesting.

Diarra is a unique character, perhaps spiraling from her divorce situation, but she found a light somewhere in that tunnel. Despite her finding that light, she somehow still got lost in the tunnel. I hope she makes it out of that tunnel with her light and unharmed, because she's going deeper and deeper into the tunnel without a clear sight of making it out.

This show is so good. I thought it was crazy that she was looking for a guy after one date, but as I continued watching the show Diarra was helping a mother find her son. I think the main character solving the investigation gave her freedom of not thinking about her marriage. Her friends are super funny and supportive of her. I loved how each friend has the own story and how it's similar to the main character. I hope it gets a second season because we need to hear Chris/Deonte's side of the story along with his mother. Also the aftermath of Velvet's house and how Diarra's husband is in the streets.

Love the plot twists, comedic relief, relatable characters - such a good show. I need the next season asap!!! Reminded me of the comedic drama Insecure but with a true crime twist!!! I thoroughly enjoyed that each episode kept you on the edge of your seat. Thrilling, relevant, kept me guessing and unlike any genre I've seen. I even love that Black love finds it way back and that we see them both return to each other. Episode 7 left so many unanswered questions but also left the audience with hope. I didn't see a lot of what happened coming but this show opens the doors for some Red Carpet events and awards.

Brilliantly cast - Diarra is such a multilayered character - relatable, surprising, and fearless. Phylicia Rashad's Vonda character was such a departure from anything I've seen from her - she blew my mind! Her urban 'Robin Hood' portrayal was fantastic. And, Morris Chestnut's Swa is a great counterpart to Diarra. All the actors' performances are natural and they seem to be having fun! The writing is so good - I bet the ensemble had a lot fun playing their parts. The writers kept it real and compelling. The blend of mystery and comedy is so unique - I love the twists and turns. Looking forward to each new chapter!

I'm so happy I stumbled upon Diarra From Detroit! The writing is outstanding and the actors fit every character to a tee. I love these kind of shows that you just can't stop watching because you just have to know what is going to happen next. It's funny, it's serious, it's thrilling, it's sad, and it's nostalgic. Brilliant! Each episode gives you everything you need to not have any will power to turn it off. The issues and challenges everyone is facing along with playing detective really adds to the flow of the series. Run, don't walk to watch this series, and be prepared to have all the emotions with each episode.
