If there’s a show at the 9 p.m. timeslot on HBO, you better believe it will be a must-watch project. Now that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has concluded its brilliant first season, it’s time for a new show to the 9 p.m. hour, and, pardon the pun, DTF St. Louis will be a banger.
DTF St. Louis is a miniseries starring Jason Bateman (Ozark), David Harbour (Stranger Things), and Linda Cardellini (Dead to Me). In the trailer, you can see Floyd (Harbour) has died. While Homer (Richard Jenkins) says the autopsy will say heart attack, Special Crimes Agent Jodie Plumb (Joy Sunday) thinks otherwise. That probably means the show will hop back and forth in time to solve the mystery of Floyd’s death.

What to expect in episode 1
While the DTF St. Louis trailers have shown Floyd as insecure and loving, those will be only two parts of his character. Prepare to look at David Harbour like you’ve never seen him. For the record, that's not a statement I ever expected to write about the guy who played Jim Hopper in Stranger Things.
Meanwhile, Clark (Bateman) looks like Floyd's unlikable friend who probably got him killed, or did the deed himself. However, since Bateman is such a phenomenal actor, there will be levels to Clark's personality. For all we know, maybe Clark is Floyd’s savior. It’s doubtful, but possible.
Lastly, judging by the trailer for DTF St. Louis and the actors involved, I expect to see a lot of award nominations. Bateman has a Prime Time Emmy for his role in Ozark, but Sunday, Cardellini, and Harbour don't have any of the big four (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, or Tony). It isn’t because they aren’t great actors. Sometimes the awards committees don't (or won’t) acknowledge a project that they don’t believe deserves recognition. Thankfully, that will likely change for all three actors, especially Sunday, who I believe will stand out.
Watch DTF St. Louis on Sunday nights on HBO and HBO Max.
