Diarra from Detroit Is a Genre-Bending Ride

What happens when you mix crime, comedy, and a missing person mystery—all set in Detroit? Diarra from Detroit does something we’ve never seen before, and we’re breaking down how it works. The show is executive produced by NAACP Award winning writer and producer Kenya Barris (Black-ish, Grown-ish) for BET+. On this episode of In the Cut Podcast, host Rae Benjamin is joined by TV writer Kira Talise (Insecure, A Black Lady Sketch Show, Black and Sexy TV) to dive into what makes Diarra from Detroit so unique. From its film noir influences to its sharp humor and social commentary, they discuss why this show is changing the game for TV storytelling.
