Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Band Candy (1998)
Loads of fun.
Great episode. Loads of fun. Great seeing a different side of Giles.
Dirty John (2018)
Obnoxious characters, writing and acting.
I'm only three episodes in, and I'm trying to give it a fair shake. I'm trying to take some of the other reviews into consideration, but I don't think I can take much more of this garbage.
I fully understand that people can be naive, and that abusers can be manipulative, that relationships can deteriorate; but these people, and this relationship had no redeeming qualities from the first date. Most abusers are charming and subtle, at least in the beginning, but this representation gives no reason why or how this relationship developed, or the previous one. There's also no indication of how this twit affords a Maserati and has "I don't know, 70 or 80 grand" under her bed.
Every line is spoken in an accusatory tone, no matter which characters are speaking, or to whom, and the "adult" daughters are just obnoxious brats.
I won't judge the real people involved, or any other real victim, based on this representation, but it is not doing anything to garner sympathy, or even to entertain. Time to find something else to watch.
