Black men don't cheat | Michael Arcell

Black Men Don’t Cheat is a bold half-hour dramedy series that flips cultural stereotypes on their head while sparking conversation about trust, double standards, and commitment. Set against the backdrop of Chicago, the series follows Chad, a talented but conflicted photographer, as he tries to maintain his marriage with Vanessa while battling inner voices—embodied by two comedic characters, Meat (impulse) and Dudley (conscience). Through barbershop debates, beauty salon banter, messy reunions, and raw confrontations at home, the series examines the universal question: What does it really take to stay faithful—not just to a partner, but to yourself?
