Dirty John (2018–2020)
4/10
Starts off strong and then let's you down

I really enjoyed the first and second episode but by episode 5 had lost interest in the story line completely, stopped watching after 10 minutes.

Eric Banner is an awesome villan as always, very believable in the character's psychosis. The wife however was written as such a cliched meek and vulnerable woman, which yes I understand these are the kind of woman who are prayed on by men like John but by episode 5 when so much information had unravelled about him I had expected some growth and development in making her character stronger but didn't happen. Unfortunately that was the big reasons I stopped watching I couldn't get past how weak the wife was and she wouldn't wake up after finding out all the bad details.

The daughters are written as annoying spoilt rich brats - again very hard to jump on board with them as well.

Could have been great if the other characters were richly developed like John. Unfortunately here there are no characters to like or become invested in so no reason to keep watching week to week.
