BET+’s Hilariously Chaotic ‘Diarra From Detroit’ Is a P.I. Drama With Flair: TV Review
Diarra Kilpatrick thrills in the hilarious and witty P.I. adventure, "Diarra In Detroit."
With Diarra acting as the narrator, the audience is quickly enamored of her authenticity, humor and pain as she navigates the perils of divorce and the intricacies of her work as an educator in an inner-city elementary school. Through her lens as a hurt but determined Black woman, viewers come to understand Diarra’s motivations, why she’s so obsessed with finding Chris and why she may be the best person to solve a conundrum that has had Detroit in a chokehold for nearly three decades. From “Detroit Blow Jobs,” the name of Aja’s hair salon to The Professor (Ernest Lee Thomas), a bow-tie-wearing conspiracy theorist who is a regular on Moni’s bus route, and even the discovery of a single Jordan gym shoe that Diarra is convinced is a clue to Chris’ whereabouts — the show’s humor, mysteries and heartbreak are beautifully infused in the narrative to create an intricate detective story with hilarious scenarios and unforeseen twists and turns.
