Delilah is an hour-long television drama that debuted on Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) in 2021. The series is created by Craig Wright, the executive producer of popular television shows, such as Greenleaf, Lost, and Six Feet Under. Delilah stars Maahra Hill, a well-known actress recognized for her portrayal of Theresa Jourdan in the legal drama For Life, and features Jill Marie Jones, who is best known for her role as Toni Childs in the hit sitcom, Girlfriends. Susan Heyward, who previously starred in Netflix's Jessica Jones, rounds out the primary cast.

The show follows Delilah Connolly (Maahra Hill), a lawyer who takes on cases for the underprivileged in Charlotte, North Carolina. Delilah is a single mother of two children, Tamara and Marcus, who face their own challenges as teenagers. Tamara (Jill Marie Jones) is a successful therapist and single mom, while Marcus (Khalil Johnson) is a talented musician with a learning disability.

Delilah's dedication to her work and her clients often puts her at odds with her corporate law firm and its high-powered attorneys. She grapples with the challenge of balancing the interests of her clients and her own family while fighting against a system that is often rigged against minorities and low-income individuals. Her colleagues, Tamara and eventual new hire Demetria Barnes (Susan Heyward), often help Delilah navigate the complex legal and personal challenges she faces.

As the series progresses, Delilah takes on a variety of cases, including a wrongful death suit against a powerful pharmaceutical company and an abuse case involving the director of a group home for juvenile offenders. The show illuminates the hardships faced by low-income individuals and communities and the adverse effects of social injustices.

The series explores the personal lives of the primary characters as well. Delilah's relationship with her ex-husband, who is also a lawyer, and her budding romance with a new man who works at her law firm are overarching subplots. Tamara's struggles with the emotional impact of being a therapist while dealing with her own personal trials are also central to her character arc, while Demetria's determination to succeed despite her background and her relationship with her girlfriend are explored in the show.

The show's creators own up to detailing the harsh realities of life for people of color, women, and low-income individuals. Delilah, for all her optimism, genuinely struggles to make a difference due to the limitations of the law system. The show also takes on culturally relevant issues such as police reform, white privilege, mental health, and the struggles of being a working mother. Delilah portrays these issues and themes with honesty and nuance and invites viewers to think critically about the underlying social problems in society.

Delilah is a captivating drama that combines legal and personal stories to create an engaging and thought-provoking series. The show does a great job of character development, and the primary cast brings a depth of humanity that makes the show feel grounded and relatable. The complexities of life in the legal world and the inherent problems in society are presented in a nuanced and balanced way that avoids oversimplification.

Overall, Delilah is an excellent drama series that deals with serious issues while delivering on its entertainment value. The cast is relatable, and the storylines are driven and motivated by relevant issues. Delilah stands out in its ability to combine the worlds of law and personal drama to create a well-rounded and entertaining series.

Delilah is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (8 episodes). The series first aired on March 9, 2021.
