And Diarra makes us care enough to hope she gets what she needs out of solving the case, whether that’s validation, commendation or that second date she’d pinned her heart on. We can relate, which is why we're staying on this detective's six. Go to Full Review Nina Metz Chicago Tribune Apr 10, 2024
2.5/4
Part missing-person mystery, part comedy about a middle school teacher coming to grips with her impending divorce and part drama about long-buried secrets, it has tremendous style right from the start — sardonic, knowing and self-deprecating. Go to Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine Apr 4, 2024
The mystery is intriguing, but the show’s real draw are hilarious scripts delivered by a wonderful cast. Go to Full Review Chalice Williams Geeks of Color Apr 22, 2024
9.5/10
The jokes are nonstop, and they aren't just cheesy one-liners or zingers, as the situations Diarra finds herself in are inherently funny, as is our star. The delivery consistently lands like a punch from Ali. Go to Full Review Ty'Kira Smalls Common Sense Media Apr 10, 2024
Diarra from Detroit is fast-paced and clever. Go to Full Review Radhika Menon Decider Apr 2, 2024

Zee C @ZeeZee Sep 5, 2026 Love the show. The comic timing is just perfect. Love all the characters. Diarra is my fav. See more Mattie L @chacha8989 Aug 27, 2026 Show is hilarious had me laughing so loud and engaged the whole time. It is hilarious and filled with facts definitely a must watch. See more Richard S @RichieS Aug 21, 2026 Great acting and insights a white person would not otherwise get into Black culture, as well as life in Detroit. Loved all of that. Unfortunately, for me, the plot was too twisty and complex to follow and ultimately not satisfying to me. I'm not going to stick with it for another season. I'd love to see Ms. Kilpatrick in many other roles in the future! See more Nikrissa B @Nikbro Aug 17, 2026 The best show to date! You get love, murder, mystery and it’s unapologetically black!! If you haven’t watched it yet you’re in for a treat See more T G @313TeeTee Aug 16, 2026 Love this show… Everything is all facts about Detroit See more Leigh D @RT31213449 Aug 10, 2026 Excellent, fresh voice See more Read all reviews
