HBO’s DTF St. Louis Is 1 of the Most-Watched Shows in America

by

HBO’s latest crime thriller is proving to be a big success. Since it debuted late last month, the series has quickly become one of HBO Max’s most popular streaming shows.

Currently, DTF St. Louis is the third most popular TV show on HBO Max worldwide, according to FlixPatrol. It’s only behind The Pitt and Rooster, and ahead of Euphoria. In the United States, DTF St. Louis is actually the most-watched show, ranking at number one. It’s also performing very well in other countries like Germany, Italy, Spain, and Romania.

DTF St. Louis Explores a Bizarre Whodunit Mystery

Created by Steven Conrad, known for shows like Patriot and Ultra City Smiths, this seven-episode series centers around a complicated love triangle between three adults – Linda Cardellini, Jason Bateman (from Ozark), and David Harbour (Stranger Things). When one of them is found dead, the investigation reveals a connection to a dating app used by people seeking affairs. The show blends the suspense of a ‘who done it’ mystery with both dark comedy and serious drama, exploring the events that led to the tragedy.

I was really excited to see the cast list for this! Richard Jenkins, who was fantastic in Dahmer, and Joy Sunday, from Dear White People, are playing the detectives on the case. And Peter Sarsgaard – you know, he was great in The Batman – he’s playing one of the people they find on the DTF St. Louis app. Wynn Everett, who I loved in Doom Patrol, is playing the wife of the main character, Clark Forrest.

Reviews Are Strong for DTF St. Louis

Critics are loving DTF St. Louis, giving it an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many describe the show as clever and wild, highlighting the strong acting which makes it a really engaging watch. One reviewer particularly praised both the performances and the writing, suggesting it’s perfect for a weekend binge on HBO Max.

As a critic, I have to say this show delivers exactly what the network is known for – that wonderfully dark and edgy humor. But it’s not just the jokes; there are three truly outstanding performances that really elevate the whole thing. If you’re a fan of shows like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and appreciate humor that’s a little bit uncomfortable and delightfully mean-spirited, then this is definitely your next binge-worthy obsession. It’s got a few oddities, sure, but trust me, DTF St. Louis is absolutely worth checking out.

DTF St. Louis is a limited series, meaning it’s only planned for one season. New episodes have been released each week since the show premiered on March 1st, and the seventh and final episode will air on April 12th.
