Omari Douglas

Omari Douglas is Roscoe Babatunde on It’s a Sin, one of the chosen-family faces inside Russell T Davies’s five-episode London chronicle. Club nights, cheap flats, the joy the hours insist on before the wreckage. Douglas sells the life, not a memorial pose — ensemble chemistry as the reason the devastation has somewhere to land. Short-run television with open eyes. It's a Sin (Channel 4/Max, 2021) is 2020s television with a time clock. Douglas punches it as Roscoe Babatunde.

On TV Flash he is 2020s catalog craft in a series built to be carried, not binged and forgotten. We file Roscoe with the friendship plot that is the actual engine. Davies at emotional clarity; Douglas as a reason the group chat still hurts. Five episodes. No padding. A face that keeps the chronicle human.

Douglas’s handshake as Roscoe Babatunde on It's a Sin is s01e01. Hour one as joy-first contract: cheap flats and club nights, Russell T Davies assembling the chosen family before anyone asks the decade to hurt. If you only have one more hour, take s01e02. Second hour still letting pleasure lead: Davies refusing marble-statue prestige, the flats and nights remaining the point of the tragedy later. 2021 on Channel 4/Max is the span; the codes keep a long run from turning into a vibe.

Whatever It's a Sin became in the rerun — comfort, camp, appointment heat — Douglas is still on the clock as Roscoe Babatunde. Omari is ensemble steel — Roscoe Babatunde is why It's a Sin photographs as a staffed room instead of a one-face hour. s01e01 and s01e02 are enough of a tour.
