The Lede

Sex in the Suburbs The spark that initially lights the fire in the new HBO dark comedy DTF ST. LOUIS is a dating app – well, that’s putting it politely – through which married adults have the opportunity to arrange affairs that theoretically have no consequences. But life never works that way, does it? Someone ends up dead in DTF ST. LOUIS, which stars Jason Bateman, Linda Cardellini, and David Harbour, and premieres Sunday on Crave. “There’s a line that Steve (Conrad, showrunner) has always clung to, which is the first line he wrote: ‘nobody’s normal, they just look that way from across the street,’ ” Harbour said. “That’s really what the whole series is trying to be, this empathetic response for weird people looking for meaning.”

Modern Medicine The goal for the rebooted SCRUBS  – which premiered Wednesday with two new episodes on CTV, now available on Crave – was not only to have the returning characters and the setting be familiar for loyal fans, but also to firmly plant the show in 2026. “We really wanted to figure out how to thread that needle,” said Sarah Chalke, who plays Dr. Elliot Reid, in an interview with TV critic Bill Harris for The Lede. “We wanted to find a way to give people SCRUBS, but also have these characters be grounded in reality, and grown up, and then use the opportunity for some fantasy sequences to kind of escape from that.” By the way, all episodes of the original SCRUBS, which ran for nine seasons from 2001 to 2010, are now on Crave as well.
