Recumbent bikes. Jamba Juice. Cornhole. A female baseball ump. Old copies of Playgirl. David Harbour and Jason Bateman … rapping?
HBO Max’s seven-episode limited series “DTF St. Louis,” with Atlanta masquerading as St. Louis, is packed with quirky aspects of life not typically featured on a TV show. That’s to the credit of the fertile mind of writer, director and showrunner Steve Conrad.
