In this dramatic series, events seem more dramatic and powerful through a love story that turns into another turn. The series begins its season with a woman named Debra Newell who began living in a love story with a handsome doctor named John Mehan. After a short time, Debra discovers that John has drawn her into a sinister game she did not fully expect in Southern California.
The eight-episode series is boosted by strong performances all around. Britton (and, let's be honest, her hair) make every show she's in better, whether it's Friday Night Lights, Nashville, SMILF, or (yes) 9-1-1.
Enter "Dirty John," a Bravo event series adapted from the salacious multi-part Los Angeles Times articles and podcast, which...basically plays like an old-school Lifetime movie, just stretched into episodic form.
If you've been looking for an excuse to tap that box of pink wine lurking in the back of your fridge and hoot and gasp at your TV screen, happy holidays.
Britton and her talented co-stars are wasted here on a warmed-over Lifetime movie masquerading as a prestige TV miniseries - one that's, sadly, not even trashy enough to qualify as a guilty pleasure.
It's Bana, though, who may benefit the most from Dirty John; as Meehan, the actor pivots from charming to chilling and back again with astonishing ease.
There is some pleasure in watching the inevitable unfold, particularly since the cast is solid. Britton is, as usual, a sympathetic lead, even if her character is written to be shallow.
