Dirty John - Season 1
A powerful dramatic series and perhaps a beautiful romantic. This story tells about a woman named Debra Newell who meets a handsome doctor named John Mehan. They both started a very exciting love story, but perhaps his sweetheart John will be drawn into a sinister game in southern California without a prediction.

I expected so much more. In the end, "Dirty John" only managed to spin a new con - promising dessert and delivering a plate of lukewarm leftovers.

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.

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.

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.

Dirty John has too often reinstated the rules of the "woman-in-peril" dramas that the realism of the earlier formats allowed it to escape.

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.

Best of all, "Dirty John" mostly avoids the cliche of making Debra appear to be a fool or a dupe.

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.

Dirty John knows what (and where) it is and doesn't bother taking itself too seriously, which adds an intriguing and digestible aspect throughout.

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.
