"Jason Bateman astutely pointed out something key: 'DTF St. Louis' is tough to pigeonhole, genre-wise. 'Dark comedy' seems to be used a lot in these situations, which kinda, sorta works? But some pretty tragic events happen for a 'comedy,' even a dark one."
"Clark is married. And Carol is married to Floyd. Floyd is a sweet man who has kind of stumbled through life professionally, though he's finally found his niche as a sign language specialist at a local television station. Though not hearing impaired himself, he does have his own ailment that involves an unexplained accident involving his penis."
"Clark soon introduces Floyd to the DTF (which stands for 'down to fuck') St. Louis app, for selfish reasons, but this recommendation has terrible consequences for everyone."
HBO's limited series 'DTF St. Louis' stars Jason Bateman as Clark Forrest, a St. Louis weatherman who becomes attracted to Carol (Linda Cardellini) at a cornhole party. Carol is married to Floyd (David Harbour), a sign language specialist at a local television station dealing with personal trauma from an unexplained accident. Clark's marriage complicates matters further. When Clark introduces Floyd to the DTF app for selfish reasons, the recommendation triggers devastating consequences for all involved. The series resists easy genre categorization, functioning as dark comedy while containing genuinely tragic events that challenge typical comedy conventions.
