It’s a delicious set up and a wonderful tale, superbly told, of unfolding mystery involving bored suburbanites whose search for excitement leads them down risky paths.

A strange, surreal, surpassingly dark addition to Bateman’s œuvre. He’s cast well in the show -- I can’t imagine it working without his presence, reeking of ennui and buried impulses.

Mr. Bateman is always a supremely watchable actor, but if there’s a standout in this exceptional cast it’s Mr. Harbour, who has sort of gone “Raging Bull” for his role as Floyd.

The M Report (WBOC.com)

...the series mostly takes place in the suburbs of St. Louis. This reinforces this idea that the suburbs aren't necessarily this safe and wholesome place where nothing bad, or weird, or even sexually adventurous happens.

...as fiction, it rises above the rest, conceived as a simple yet highly effective device. [Full review in Spanish]

B+

The show pokes at an uncomfortable cultural reality: the way our society often frames male libido as something urgent, unavoidable, biological in its authority. Men must pursue. Men must conquer. Men must be sexually validated at all times.

A series that some will find uncomfortable. I found it the most interesting, though provoking show I have watched in a long time. It may masquerade as a dark comedy but it is far more of a drama. Wonderfully mysterious, excellent performances and very original.

Just so awful. Stupid. Boring. Insane. Dumb. Crap.

I think this is probably the best show I've been watching this year so far. That script, the acting, the music drops, pacing ... wow. It's a cracker! Such a pleasure to experience. The emotions it stirs, the love that's there on screen between friends, parents and children; wonderful to pick apart. And so funny and awkward in parts. The struggles of living on a low wage in America, beautifully portrayed. Body image questions ... what's a good relationship and what are you allowed with that. Thank you for this.

Profoundly moving tale of the soulful human need for love and connection. Superb performances across the board. I loved the directorial flourishes, which gave the series an artistic pedigree. Excellent writing.

So far, DTF ST LOUIS is the best television show of the year and one of HBO's best ever. Phenomenal, unexpected, very different.

I don’t take my reviews so seriously like other people but, I think there wasn’t enough reason to warrant Floyd ending himself like that. If you had just flipped everything him and Clark said at the end it would warrant more of a reason. Anyways, I don’t regret the time I spent watching this.
