DTF St. Louis currently has an 80% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The New York Times says: “It might not satisfy fans of that genre, while if anything, I found myself wanting it weirder and less bound by its format.”
Slant gave it 3 out of 4, writing: “The series boasts a unique charm that sneaks up on you.”
TIME says: “The murder is, at best, a distraction from what makes DTF unique; at worst, it’s a crutch supporting three characters whose creator failed to build them a less conventional plot.”
IndieWire gave it an A-, writing: “It’s an ideal blend of character drama and murder-mystery, and the way Conrad frames their lives — with the camera tilting up from the smooth black pavement of a residential street or the jagged brown grass of a neglected lawn — is equally absorbing.”
The Wrap writes: “In an era rife with domestic crime shows that strain to keep viewers guessing, Conrad disarms us with seductive ease, then tickles our anxiety with naughty, amusing and horizon-opening twists.”
