One of the best mystery shows of recent years is now available to stream

This star-studded new mystery series is highly addictive.

Accessible through the service NOW, the seven-part miniseries centres around a love triangle in Missouri.

This is between three adults, the married Carol (Linda Cardellini, Dead to Me) and Floyd (MVP David Harbour, Stranger Things), and the latter's friend and colleague, the TV weatherman Clark (Jason Bateman, Black Rabbit).

Just weeks after the also married Clark convinced Floyd to join the titular dating app, which is primarily used by married people for hookups, one of the three winds up dead.

The show alternates between the investigation into the death (led by Joy Sunday and Richard Jenkins) and the events that led up to it.

Created, written and directed by Steven Conrad (Patriot), the show also stars Peter Sarsgaard (September 5) in a scene-stealing supporting turn.

JOE has seen the first four episodes of DTF St. Louis, and for those who may be turned off by the series' title or subject matter, we'd highly encourage readers to give it a chance.

While the story sounds lurid and sensational, and like it could fill white space in a tabloid, Conrad treats the humans at the centre of it as if they are real people and with great empathy.

Literally from DTF St. Louis' opening scenes, the series displays such a razor-sharp focus on its central characters. Conrad teases out their hopes and dreams, their humour and humanity, and what makes them tick, so that even when they make mistakes, the viewer can't help but care about them.

While the series is full of offbeat humour and genuinely relatable moving insights about people, it also functions as a hugely compelling whodunnit.

Every time you think you understand the mystery, Conrad's timeshuffling screenplay unravels more and more details, context that will have you doubting everything once again.

The first episode of DTF St. Louis is available to watch on the service NOW, as well as through Sky Atlantic. The rest of its seven episodes will drop weekly on Mondays.
