"At its core, DTF is an apt, idiosyncratic portrait of the male loneliness epidemic and the diabolical advent of dating technology in the 21st century."
"The Denny's Plan takes us back to the moment, as Clark puts it, that he decided he was going to cheat on his wife."
"A mundane, quietly absurd moment of unexamined anxiousness and isolation comes to the surface in an unexpected time and place."
"The whole murder-mystery conceit and back-and-forth in time fill the mandate of being a mid-tier dramedy for your average Netflix-brained HBO Max viewer."
DTF St. Louis revisits the origins of its narrative in 2018, showcasing a convoluted love affair between suburban neighbors. The plot thickens as a weatherman orchestrates a scheme involving a fake persona to help his ASL interpreter friend. The series reflects on male loneliness and the effects of dating technology, though the investigative framing and extended episodes fail to enhance the story. Key moments, such as Clark's confession and flashbacks, reveal deeper themes of isolation and anxiety amidst absurdity.
