Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet watched the fourth episode of DTF St. Louis on HBO or via HBO Max subscription, so be warned!
After three episodes of making me think some particularly harsh things about Jason Bateman’s hornball weatherman Clark and Linda Cardellini’s scheming umpire Carol, DTF St. Louis has delivered the expository life moments I needed for both of those characters to feel like real people, and not just plot advancers. In doing so, this fourth installment, titled "Missouri Mutual Life & Health Insurance Company," also potentially threw a wrench into the works of my going theory behind Floyd’s death.
