I’ve been pretty clear about my feelings about DTF St. Louis, which just wrapped up with its finale as part of the 2026 TV schedule. I think the show was really well constructed and acted, but the way it treated my hometown was, to say the least, disappointing. In the end, it turns out that maybe my favorite single scene was the last between the two detectives, Donoghue Homer (Richard Jenkins) and Jodie Plumb (Joy Sunday). I enjoyed the scene so much that it immediately had me wishing for a spinoff following those two as buddy detectives.
There are very minor spoilers ahead, so if you want to watch the end of the DTF St. Louis before reading, log in with your HBO Max subscription and check it out.
