Desire, Secrets, and a Whodunit: HBO's DTF St. Louis
IndieWire lauds HBO's seven-episode limited series DTF St. Louis as a funny, sharp murder mystery that doubles as a intimate character study of suburban desire. The show follows Clark (Bateman) and Floyd (Harbour) whose flirtation with a risqué dating app spirals into a murder investigation led by Det. Jodie Plumb and Det. Homer, exposing hidden selves and shifting perspectives. With Bateman delivering a nuanced, ambiguous lead, Harbour’s charm, Cardellini’s restraint, and Steven Conrad’s deft direction, the series blends humor, sex-therapy themes, and moral ambiguity into a stylish, emotionally honest thriller. Premieres March 1 on HBO, with new episodes weekly through April 12.
