"We're Going to Solve Men. We're Going to Get to the Bottom of It": The End of DTF St. Louis

This episode contains spoiler alerts for DTF St. Louis, The Better Sister and the 2003 film Mystic River. DTF St. Louis, which premiered in March on HBO, is a dark comedy starring Jason Bateman and David Harbour as friends, co-workers and neighbors Clark Forrest and Floyd Smernitch who are both looking for more in their marriages. What exactly they’re looking for, they don’t seem to fully know. Linda Cardellini plays Floyd’s wife Carol Love-Smernitch.  The story is somewhat a murder mystery with time jumps, with Richard Jenkins playing Detective Donoghue Homer, a county detective who is trying his absolute best to keep up with all the kinks and sexual fantasies explained in this show, and really failing. He teams up with Jodie Plumb (Joy Sunday), a special crimes officer from the Twyla police department. In this episode of Finale Girls, Rachel and Mallika dive into the whole wacky show and especially the finale: "No One's Normal. It Just Looks That Way From Across the Street."
