from Crime Writers On... · host Partners in Crime Media
TV weatherman Clark Forrest convinces his friend and ASL interpreter to sign up for an anonymous hook-up app to spice up his life. Floyd Smernitch is cash-strapped, overweight, and dealing with his distant wife and troubled stepson. But after joining DTF St. Louis, Floyd’s body is discovered in a pool house after a late-night rendezvous. Investigators examine Clark’s relationship with Floyd’s wife Carol, which leads to more questions about the sex lives and personalities of the suburbanites. While looking into whether friends, strangers, or lovers are behind his demise, a clearer picture of Floyd emerges: a man who longed for more than just a physical connection. Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini star in the HBO Original “DTF St. Louis.” The series combines dark comedy and mystery with a meditation on the quiet desperation of middle-aged people. Are their mid-life crises really about sex — or a cure for their loneliness and disappointment? OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "DTF ST. LOUIS" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
