Created by and starring Diarra Kilpatrick, it is part comedy about impending divorce, part missing person mystery.
“Life is full of unsolved mysteries,” says the title character in “Diarra From Detroit” on BET+, “and as I once heard this guy at the post office say, minding your own business is a full-time job — and everybody needs to stay employed. But I had to get to the bottom of this one, even if it killed me.”
Diarra is beautiful and funny — and her personal life is a mess. Insomnia has frazzled her state of mind and she sums up the end of her relationship with her husband like this: He asked, “How do you feel about an open marriage?” and she replied, “How do you feel about a closed casket?” That’s the explanation she gives to a childhood friend who has just tried to break into her house to rob it; he didn’t know her mom still owned the place and that Diarra had moved back in.
In the hopes of moving on from her handsome ex, she goes on a Tinder date and it’s one of those magical experiences where they instantly click. She dubs him Ambien because, after they hook up, she’s finally able to get a good night’s sleep, and they make plans to see each other again. But he stands her up.
