Marco J @RT16816901 Oct 27 They kept it fun, smart, touching, intriguing and sexy. The plot’s well weaven and helps believing even its most baroque twists. Kudos to the amazing cast and production.

See more MK T @RT66460052 Aug 25 This show is a must see. Well written script and plot. The right amount of twists and turns, with the right amount of drama vs comedy. The dynamics between the characters. The heroine is someone you want to believe in. And the cast around her were brilliant actors. I can’t wait for season 2. This was so well done. Watched in a day and about to go on for a rewatch. Deserves and Emmy. And I watch a lot of shows. Quick to find a plot hole. But this show exceeded expectations. I can’t get that lady in the blue dress from the divorce party in ep 2 out of my head either. She was HILARIOUS.

The premise is bizarre, to say the least—a down-and-out detective, Max Downer, is tasked with solving a series of crimes in Detroit, all while struggling with an ongoing, inexplicable digestive issue that seems to pop up at the worst possible moments. It’s a quirky concept, sure, but it often feels more like a gimmick than anything remotely watchable. Max, played by an actor who seems to be doing his best to juggle both serious detective work and comedic toilet humor, is the show’s biggest flaw. His constant, unexplainable trips to the bathroom interrupt what little suspense there is in the investigation. And while the show clearly wants to play this as a comedic running gag, it too often detracts from the actual plot. The jokes around Max’s unfortunate condition feel stale and borderline gross after the first few episodes, making it hard to appreciate whatever crime case he’s supposed to be solving. As for the crimes themselves—well, they’re predictable, lacking the depth or intrigue that could balance out the absurdity of the premise. Max stumbles through each case, often solving them by sheer dumb luck while dealing with his increasingly desperate attempts to find a bathroom. There’s a hint of potential in the stories, but it’s drowned out by the constant barrage of flatulence jokes, awkward bathroom scenes, and slapstick humor that just doesn’t land. The character of Detective Lisa Sharp, Max’s no-nonsense partner, could have been an interesting foil to his buffoonery, but she’s reduced to a straight-faced babysitter, always reacting with an eye-roll or exasperated sigh. It’s hard to root for her when the show barely gives her any real agency beyond trying to keep Max’s “condition” in check. “Diarrhea in Detroit” is attempting to be a dark comedy, but it’s a thin line between edgy and offensive, and unfortunately, this show crosses it more often than not. It’s as if the writers threw a crime procedural, slapstick comedy, and gross-out humor into a blender without really thinking about how those elements should work together. There are moments where the show does manage to be oddly charming, but they’re few and far between, buried under the weight of too much lowbrow humor. If you’re looking for something truly unique, this may scratch an itch—but if you’re hoping for a well-balanced crime show that mixes humor with intrigue, “Diarrhea in Detroit” is definitely a hard pass. It’s less about solving the case and more about wondering how much longer you can tolerate the same joke before it turns sour. See more Michele F @RT76414653 09/22/2024 Love Love Loved it! So well written and the characters have such depth and the actors are getting to showcase their amazing range and skills . If the execs at BET are smart they will have to give us more Diarra From Detroit! See more Timothy E @Tnice17 08/13/2024 I hope they make a season 2. I have to who the chief was?
