If you dropped DTF St Louis please go back and finish it

Posted by donttellpops


The season finale was so good! Not having seen anything from Steven Conrad, we weren't sure about the show and writing at first but the last episode was worth sticking around. Linda, Bateman and Harbour should be up for awards next year.

I'm super skeptical the finale is going to make me like it but I'm already in too deep anyway.

Might be in the minority here but I watched it weekly and enjoyed it until the finale. It didn’t work for me, but I enjoyed the performances. Pretty good acting from everyone on the cast.

I watched it weekly and there were some episodes I didn’t care for very much but I just had to know what happened. The acting was amazing and the story is not for everyone. To me I felt like it’s a story about love and loneliness.

Agreed. In my view watching finale doesn't actually bring anything to the story. you could watch first six, of for that mater first three episodes and fully understand it is about mid-life crisis, suburban malaise. I know it sounds strange, but it was either intentionally or inadvertainly an anti climax.

>Its very much about loneliness, depression, mislife crisis. How good people become suicidal and are empty That is quite literally MALAISE

Malaise is boredom 
1
Thallata2126 Apr 15, 2026 +1
Malaise is loneliness, depression, anxiety, despair, unease . And malaise is the most common descriptor by the critics about this. Sorry you missed the main point of the series! "In this darkly comedic series, a love triangle between three adults experiencing middle-age ***malaise*** leads to one of them ending up dead."

Why is everyone saying 'suburban midlife malaise'. Do the unusually - aged actors make the emotions seem specific to a demographic
1
Thallata2126 Apr 14, 2026 +1
Firstly the show is explicitly a critique of suburban life. Conrad has said so himself. Also critics has even that as main theme, google: "DTF St. Louis and the New Story of the Suburbs" and give a listen. And on top of that DTF St Louis is also at its core about mid-life crises of the characters. That is what ModernLove is talking about with the "no more recess" soliloquy. It is what Carol is trying to "squirm" away from.

I dont get why suburban feelings are different to urban or rural

Thallata2126 Apr 15, 2026 +1
I am not saying it is not a Hollywood or urban bigotry against suburbs. What I am saying is that writer had a specific thing he wanted to do -- which is mid life crisis and also malaise in the suburbs. You and I can disagree with the writer over that, but that does not change the fact that this was what he was doing with the story.

The final episode is a bit of an "I-knew-it" bummer, but everything leading up to it is pretty great. If you look at the series more as an exploration of loneliness rather than a whodunnit, it's fairly satisfying—okay, SADisfying.

AvestruzAlley Apr 13, 2026 +1
Right? I've always liked her, but over and over, especially that scene of her crying at the backyard table as the landscaping crew worked, I actually stopped and thought, "how is she doing this??!!” Almost same caliber was going on with Jason Bateman. David Harbour's character was not as much of a feat, but still Floyd could not have been as sympathetic or convincing if it hadn't been an excellent performance. Oh man, and Peter Sarsgaard!! At any point in the series, and most especially in the finale, you simply could not predict what would be said or shown next. That was incredibly refreshing to experience. The denouement of the plot was not spectacular but as someone else said, the only issue with that was the viewer bringing conventional expectations to it. It's just plain sad, like the "lonely" comment toward the end that doesn't "make sense" considering the close friendship and the offspring in the person's life, it's nevertheless how they feel, and that's just life and it's sad. But it was so enriching to see this far into these characters' lives and souls.

I really enjoyed the show overall but at times it was a struggle. I’m glad I finished it because I think this show is going to stick with me much longer compared to an ordinary murder mystery. I think in the long run, this show will be remembered for the emotional weight it carried and not the salacious sexual aspect. But I also understand why some people will not enjoy it and that’s ok.

To me it was the opposite.  Just got worse and worse. The acting was great. The guy sets the show up as a who done it just to c*** out he's depressed and killed himself. Carol and Richard are just despicable humans. Richard will definitely be hiding bodies under his house as an adult. And im sorry 100 percent of people would leave a relationship after their step son bashed their d*** with a bat

emmathompsonluvr Apr 13, 2026 +8
What a narrow and simplistic way of viewing the story. Retrospectively, it was never a whodunnit, you just projected that onto it because we live in a culture obsessed with true crime and murder mystery. It subverted your expectations. I found all the characters to be deeply complex and nuanced. By the end, I didn't want any of them to be the perpetrator because I actually cared for them as humans - they disproved my cynicism about their capacity for violence. They weren't just chess pieces to satisfy a narrative. So many shows nowadays are so pessimistic about humans and our ability to be good and I thought this one showed the deep desire we all have to be good people and to be loved by the people around us, mistakes along the way and all.

Ink_Smudger Apr 13, 2026 +6
>you just projected that onto it because we live in a culture obsessed with true crime and murder mystery. I feel an aspect of the story is designed to make you question why you viewed things the way you did. Every week, I was coming up with new theories for who killed Floyd and what their motivations were, but looking back, I was having to make some pretty big reaches to get there. The show never presents the primary suspects (Clark, Carol, or Richard) as anything other than people who love Floyd, and any motivation they might have is quickly shown from a new perspective that rules it out. We're conditioned to assume there will be some bad guy that steps out of the shadow and all the pieces fall into place, but real life is often far more mundane. There are no good guys or bad guys here. It's less a whodunnit, and more a whydunnit.

Informal-Factor-4212 Apr 14, 2026 +1
For me the finale seemed obvious after the episode before. But this show vacillates so much between showing benign and evil intents, that I wondered if it would turn out that Floyd committed suicide to set them both up as suspects. I think this show is really about impulses and intentions. When the wife tells Floyd she doesn't feel it anymore, that she just wants to squirm out from under him, the look on her face as she redoes her makeup is cold indifference. Almost as if she knew this would drive him to suicide and had accomplished the final part of her plan . It seems obvious to me from the behavior of her character that she is the culprit, even though the police don't see it. It's possible to think your husband is the sweetest thing, but stlll think that bedding you never got as a child out weighs the value of his life. Not normal, but possible. I think the point of the show really is that everyone looks normal from across the street, but they're not, and sometimes their compulsions to do evil overcome their compulsions to do good.

agiantwasteoftime Apr 14, 2026 +2
It deals with sensitive topics that many people are just not ready to emotionally accept and go along with, the fragility of masculinity, body image, loneliness, but with absurd humor that I absolutely LOVE but understand not everyone would 'get'. I think giving it a go for a full three episodes is fair and if it's not for you it's not for you. I think it's genius and >!bawled at the ending.!<

I loved the show and the ending was on point. It is not a crime show as we were lead to believe initially. It takes you along with its surprises, twists. Initially you think Carole killed Floyd to make it look like suicide, because she couldnt stand him or because she needed the life insurance money. As the show progresses, you think it was the weatherman. Toward the end you think maybe somebody from the arranged meeting might have killed Floyd. At the last episode we start guessing that Richard killed Floyd, until the grand reveal. The last episode ties everything together masterfully. Why Carole was so unpleasant with the cops? Because she didnt want the cops to determine officially that Floyd killed himself. Why? Because of the life insurance. A suicide doesnt warrant life insurance payout, unless death happens three years after signing the policy. Carole didnt want the cause of death to be suicide and be made official record. Remember, we don't know for sure that Floyd has killed himself. The cops are trying to figure out how. In the first episode, the older detective wanted to close the case as "suicide" and move on, but the lady detective pushed for a full investigation. It is a show that demands paying attention to the nuances, the context, circumstances. It is a fairly realistic depiction of mid life loneliness.
1
[deleted] Apr 14, 2026 +1
I agree and appreciate all youve said. But 'mid-life lonliness'...I cannot allow as a summation of this. Its too trivial. Its a human struggling through life, as a child, a teenager, an adult, a parent. Same person. Not a mid- lifer suddenly feeling a bit lonely.
1
AvestruzAlley Apr 13, 2026
I don't think he deliberately killed himself, exactly. Yes they explicitly established he knew the danger of the med with his other meds, so he was being kind of self-destructive from the moment he poured the stuff into the can. And by the time Richard saw him he was thinking "who cares", but I think in a vague way. Likewise I don't think Carol was calculating the insurance eligibility thing, I think she was just feeling numb and shitty, and she already had kind of a bitchy streak.
0
LaRomanesca Apr 13, 2026 +2
Carole was really anxious for Floyd to get life insurance. That detail throws the viewer off because life insurance is often the factor behind a murder in many crime dramas. Indeed she didnt foresee that Floyd was planning his suicide. But the dire financial situation they were in and Floyd's poor health, made Carol anxious about lacking insurance. They owed money to the IRS, Floyd bombs the job opportunity in Chicago, etc...She was desperate for a safety net. The viewer finally fully realized that Floyd is suicidal in the last episode, when we see him pouring the whole dose of medication in the soda can. In the previous episode, Floyd says he needs the medication to fix his erectile dysfunction...but his true motive is shown in the last episode.

AvestruzAlley Apr 13, 2026 +1
No, as I said his death was not deliberate. Carol's interest in life insurance was the usual reasons for being interested in life insurance.

It was pretty uneven, kinda over the place between mediocre and great, elevated by the good performances of the main trio. David Harbour was brilliant, I think it's his best role so far. he seemed to have the time of his life. The finale was very underwhelming, disappointing and predictable though. They turned Clark's wife basically into a glorified extra, I hoped she would play a more important role in some twist at the last moment. The entirle Carol's storyline was also in vain, she basically stalked and seduced Clark, she lured him to get a life insurance for Floyd, she was fine about the toxic swinger/cuckold triangle, she treated her husband horribly and didn't even try to console him and make him feel better after she had rejected him in the motel. By the way, will she even get the money now, if the police decided it had been a suicide? Or will it be considered the accident on paper by both detectives?

The detectives determined that the cause of death is suicide. So Carol is left broke. This is the last disappointment Floyd gives to his family. He thinks he is doing everybody a favor by killing himself...but ironically due to the suicide clause, it is the last "blow".

Yeah, that's what the police had to do by the rules, I know. But would they do it? Probably, yes.

We never actually found out what the cops did. I think that was the remaining mystery. I actually don’t think that Floyd killed himself either, it looked to me like an accident. He didn’t mean to overdose, he dosed a very small amount of medicine into his drink. But because of other medications, it was too much, so was an accidental overdose. Which made it even more a tragedy that everybody thought he killed himself and that she wouldn’t get the life insurance money!

Are you for real? Wild amounts of misogyny in this comment and you don’t even seem to realize it. She didn’t treat her husband horribly at all. They had an immensely complicated relationship and she was someone struggling profoundly with her life.

She grew up poor and was oriented to doing what she had to for her family, so she's not that friendly or caring toward others. Not a very sympathetic character on surface level, but not a terrible person at all. For those who are capable of seeing a woman as a person, the evidence of her dedication to her son and her affection for (despite serious disappointment in) Floyd are very apparent. And as an umpire she applies herself to do better and learn more, and she goes out of her way to boost and cheer up the little kids. Basically she's a good but imperfect person, like all the characters.

I think he just wanted to watch an updated Everyone Loves Raymond. On the nose is all these people can handle.

I swear. It is nuts how simple minded people are. Mainly the lack of depth.

I gave up after episode 1. I vibe more with Rooster. Seems from the comments here it’s not worth going back.

Yea, but I thought I’d actually go back to DTF and binge if it was better viewed continuously. Oh well. There’s enough TV out there on my watch list. 🤷🏻

Its definitely worth binge-watching. Dont let initial weirdness put you off. I thought it was going to be a 'minor-attracted people are people too, dont kink shame' creep-fest. But found it subtly, densely emotionally satisfying. Got to focus to catch it all though. Every single word and facial movement adds to plot.

People stop watching things for a reason. Forcing themselves to watch more of something they didn't enjoy is unlikely to make them view the show more favourably.

There is a printing process called “Direct To Film” that gets shortened to DTF; I feel like I anyways have to skip around it when talking to customers.

Really? I think the ending was horrible and VERY strange. I’d advise not wasting your time with any of it.

The finale was absolutely terrible. The ending was nearly the exact same as Mare of Easttown, another HBO Max cop drama.
