Diarra from Detroit

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.

I am invested in these episodes as if it is my own life. The story is well-written and each character is on the brink of something. I love it!

My only quarrels are, there is not enough Phylicia Rashad and I am have to wait each week for a new episode. I have been spoiled by the "drop the entire season" era.

At the end of the day, there is a deeper message inside Diarra's obsession to find what we all know to be a one night stand. Also, where did the retired cop slink off to? He showed up one episode to blurt out warnings to never be seen again? It is stuff like I need to be wrapped up. Don't introduce a character and not sow up his scenes.

At this point, I am just rambling to meet the quota. I said all you need to know in the beginning. It is a good watch, time well spent.

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.

Ok I have to admit I just knew this was gonna be a typical bet show/movie vibe but I was wrong. A celebrity recommendation is what lead me here . Following Tucson view on it I said oh what the hell. From the very episode I was hooked , it's different it's fun , it sends my anxiety through the damn roof and every time I think we on to something it switches up . I am obsessed with the show and it's only four episodes in . This writer did her big one and the best part is the acting is on point . This bought me back to bet . I look forward to the rest of the season and I pray the writer has more up her sleeve like this because I truly believe shows like this can and will revamp bet.... Round of applause.

I haven't seen any of Diarra Kilpatrick's work before this, and to be honest the thing that drew me in was Detroit in the title. I grew up down the road, and my dad worked in Detroit in the 80s. This was a great nostalgia trip. I got almost every reference (White Castle, Woodward Boys, Northland Mall) and it felt like being home again.

What kept me around was the writing. It's sharp, hilarious, and smart. It makes me want to go through her filmography and watch more from Diarra. I might have to check out the Last OG next.

The character writing is excellent and the plotting of the story is far above the modern Hollywood standards. Things actually lock into place instead of happening because it looks cool. By the time you get to the end it has you guessing what happened to the missing person.

By the end you can believe that this circle of friends is going to stay tight. The actor playing Moni was a standout to me. She quickly went from antagonist to someone you were rooting for and laughing with within a couple of episodes.

I would love to see a follow up season to answer the rest of the questions laid out. Great job all around.
