Graeme Blundell The Australian 1d
It’s a delicious set up and a wonderful tale, superbly told, of unfolding mystery involving bored suburbanites whose search for excitement leads them down risky paths. Go to Full Review
Vinson Cunningham The New Yorker Mar 20
A strange, surreal, surpassingly dark addition to Bateman’s œuvre. He’s cast well in the show -- I can’t imagine it working without his presence, reeking of ennui and buried impulses. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal Mar 5
Mr. Bateman is always a supremely watchable actor, but if there’s a standout in this exceptional cast it’s Mr. Harbour, who has sort of gone “Raging Bull” for his role as Floyd. Go to Full Review
Marlon Wallace The M Report (WBOC.com) Apr 8
...the series mostly takes place in the suburbs of St. Louis. This reinforces this idea that the suburbs aren't necessarily this safe and wholesome place where nothing bad, or weird, or even sexually adventurous happens. Go to Full Review
Laura Fernández El Pais (Spain) Apr 7
...as fiction, it rises above the rest, conceived as a simple yet highly effective device. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Denise Zubizarreta LatinaMedia.Co Mar 17
B+
The show pokes at an uncomfortable cultural reality: the way our society often frames male libido as something urgent, unavoidable, biological in its authority. Men must pursue. Men must conquer. Men must be sexually validated at all times. Go to Full Review

carlosbpvp T @RT74269257 11h One of the worst shows I’ve ever seen. Characters behave as the plot dictates at any given moment, even if it contradicts everything the show previously setup about them. If this show was meant to be a comedy, it ends up being a tragedy of contemporary impoverished narrative skills. At 7 episodes, it is too long and overstretches thin, implausible material. See more Mark W. @Markiemark 13h A waste of seven hours of my life! See more Chad T. @Stiltwalker36 14h Hard to get into a show with so many unlikable characters. See more Matt L @Mattliptak 15h DTF St. Louis leans hard into something uncomfortable—and not in a way that feels cathartic. It’s a bleak, almost clinical look at midlife crisis, male loneliness, and the quiet unraveling that a lot of men experience but rarely articulate. Jason Bateman and David Harbour deliver exactly what you’d expect—grounded, controlled, and emotionally restrained performances that carry weight without trying too hard. But it’s Richard Jenkins who really stands out. The show has moments where it flirts with being a twisty character study, but it never fully leans into that. Instead, it settles into something heavier. It doesn’t offer much relief or redemption, just a slow, steady examination of men drifting, aging, and questioning their place in a world that feels like it’s moved past them. It’s well-acted and thoughtfully constructed, but ultimately, it’s a tough watch. Not because it’s bad—because it hits a little too close to something real, and doesn’t give you much hope on the other side. See more nathan G @gussave 16h Slow. Not creative. Quirky for the sake of being quirky. If not for the A-list actors this would get no attention. Seems like the critics continue to mistake good cinematography for good writing. Slow pacing, nice camera shots and dry dialogue is a cheat-code for a great critic score nowadays. See more Rebecca H @RT67590841 17h I haven't enjoyed acting from Bateman like this since the Outsider. This was genuinely beautiful, funny, shocking, surprising and overall absolutely human. I would be genuinely surprised if all 6 of the main cast didn't end up with at least Emmy nominations. See more Read all reviews
