Diarra from Detroit

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!

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.

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.

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.
