## Resource

Floyd Smernitch died as he lived - with a big belly... but was he murdered? LET'S SOLVE DTF: ST. LOUIS, HBO's mid-life crisis, buddy comedy, murder mystery. Was Clark ready to check out the hook-up mobile app DTF (Down to F*#k)? Are you DTS (Down to Solve)? Where is the 2nd recumbent bike? A darkly comedic tale of three middle-aged individuals entangled in a love triangle, leading to one's untimely demise. But if someone killed Floyd (David Harbour), whodunnit? Was it weather man Clark (Jason Bateman)? Or did his widow Carol (Linda Cardellini) take him down? Other suspects include Clark's wife Eimy (Wynn Everett), Floyd's stepson Richard (Arlan Ruf), or a mystery person like Peter Sarsgaard? St. Louis Detective Donoghue Homer (Richard Jenkins) and Twyla special crimes officer Jodie Plumb (Joy Sunday) will have to crack the case. The tv show was created by Steven Conrad (Patriot, Perpetual Grace, LTD). #DTFStLouis #hbo #hbomax 00:00 Intro 00:02 RIP Floyd 00:18 Let's Solve DTF: St. Louis 01:01 Real-life Inspiration 01:54 Victim: Floyd Smernitch 04:04 Suspect: Clark Forrest 05:33 Suspect: Eimy Forrest 05:51 Suspect: Carol Love Smernitch 06:40 Suspect: Richard 07:17 Theory: The 2nd Bike The Real-life Inspiration for this show was an article in the New Yorker "My Dentist's Murder Trial" by James Lasdun about Thomas Kolman and Dr. Gilberto Nunez. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/07/03/my-dentists-murder-trial Director Steve Conrad Writer Steve Conrad created by (as Steven Conrad) Cast Jason Bateman ...
