In real life, Detroit's surging immigrant population has been a factor in the city's financial comeback, something Lorre mentioned during a panel discussion at the summer 2019 gathering of TV critics in Los Angeles.ĭetroit is also an inherently lucky location, or at least that's what TV series creators seem to think. And that single impulse, that attitude, led to America becoming the greatest country in the history of mankind (hyperbole intended).' Given the Trump administration's continuing push to limit the number of people coming here from abroad, and the suffering and demonizing of immigrants that has been part of the policy, the gentle, sometimes earthy humor of 'Bob Hearts Abishola' is making a big statement.Īs Lorre puts it, 'For me, the miracle of this country is that, despite all the fear and anger inevitably caused by newcomers with strange traditions and languages, it chose to make itself a home for immigrants from all over the world. And Abishola’s ambitions for both her son and herself reflects the same desire - to work hard, find security, and add value to this world.' An immigration story set in DetroitĪnd though 'Bob Hearts Abishola' is decidedly mainstream in its laughs, it does have a positive message about immigration and America's historical legacy of welcoming newcomers.

Bob’s small family hosiery business is striving to achieve some part of that greatness. 'Placing our show where greatness was built - and will be built again - was very much a conscious decision. 'As a kid growing up in New York, the constant impression I had of Detroit, other than Al Kaline’s Yankees-killing Tigers, was of the world-class and world-dominating automobile industry,' said Lorre via email. Lorre, whose current shows also include CBS's 'Mom' and 'Young Sheldon' and Netflix's 'The Kominsky Method' with Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin, says he chose Detroit as the home city for the show for symbolic reasons, not personal ones. More: 'The Good Place' star talks about final season and his Detroit Improv Festival show Monroe, best known for her roles on Comedy Central's 'Workaholics' and NBC’s “The Good Place,” hails from Fraser and is involved in the Detroit Creativity Project, which helps city students learn and grow through improv comedy. There's even a proud Detroiter in the cast, Second City Detroit alum Maribeth Monroe, who plays Bob's sister.
