In 49 Minutes, HBO’s 7-Part Dark Comedy Miniseries Revealed Its Most Unexpected Villain

One episode into Steve Conrad‘s dark comedy DTF St. Louis, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. The HBO Max miniseries starring Jason Bateman, Linda Cardellini, and David Harbourhas established right out of the gate that it’s not pulling any punches. The suggestively titled pilot, “Cornhole,” paints a serene suburban picture in a broken frame. The story follows two families who reside in Twyla, Missouri (St. Louis area), and from the very beginning everybody is walking on eggshells. One of Steve Conrad‘s greatest strengths is letting silence say more than the dialogue.
