When HBO releases a new trailer, you pay attention, and when that trailer shows off a new series starring Jason Bateman, you double down on that attention. Bateman has become something of a TV star in recent years – he's gone from a reliable comic actor to a dramatic presence who knows how to tread the line between relatability and simmering threat.
Now he's playing the lead role in HBO's latest limited series, DTF St. Louis. He's a weatherman on local TV who just so happens to be good friends with his co-anchor (played by David Harbour, of Stranger Things and now Lily Allen fame). In the trailer we see them catching up at a family barbecue, with Harbour's character looking visibly listless and depressed.
