What is DTF St Louis about?
The official synopsis for DTF St. Louis calls it: “a limited series about a love triangle between three adults experiencing middle-age malaise, that leads to one of them ending up dead.”
But it concerns much more than that, touching on themes of love, desire, kinks, betrayal, death, and a smattering of Indiana Jones porn.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, showrunner Steven Conrad said the location was important to the story, as “St. Louis became a way to surprise the audience with what actually is taking place behind these closed doors, in a place you have mistakenly assumed was pretty peaceful and quiet.”
He also talked about the larger themes, saying: “These three people are simultaneously letting their passions come out after years of not really being able to live inside of them, hoping that there aren’t real heavy consequences for that.”
But using the DTF St Louis app automatically comes with consequences, as Conrad explained: “We show some billboards for DTF St. Louis, and their log line is, ‘All of the excitement, none of the consequences.’ A smart person would know that that’s impossible.”
He added: “These infidelities, these flirtations, and these sharing of passions outside your marriage, they add up to a heavy toll.”
