Joy Sunday & Richard Jenkins on DTF's Unique Detective World

In the crime drama 'DTF', actors Joy Sunday and Richard Jenkins delve into a unique detective narrative that skillfully blends humor, emotion, and introspection. Sunday was drawn to the series for its opportunity to explore silence and stillness, aspects she hadn't extensively worked with before. She appreciated the ability to sit with her character's thoughts and allow the audience to experience her discoveries.

Richard Jenkins highlighted the outstanding quality of the writing as the driving force behind his experience. He described being surprised daily by the unfolding scenes and character developments, noting that the script consistently led to unexpected yet fulfilling places. When discussing the show's portrayal of modern relationships, Jenkins humorously suggested 'Ratings!' as a measure of success, but more seriously, he believes success lies in creating an unshakeable urge for viewers to watch the next episode.

Sunday, in turn, linked the HBO series' success to its showrunner, Steve Conrad, encouraging audiences to explore his empathetic and thoughtful body of work. She sees the series as a success if it inspires viewers to revisit his archives and discover more of his considerate explorations of human nature. The series, which includes Jason Bateman and David Harbour, is set to conclude with its final episode airing on April 12.
