#SUMMER-BINGE-FEST - Dirty John


Airing on Valentine's Day in Australia (so sweet) is a true crime story from the USA, Dirty John. Originally airing on the highly esteemed US network Bravo. Former scripted TV hits include Girlfriends Guide to Divorce and Imposters.

Bravo is the home of reality hits like Million Dollar Listings Los Angeles, Top Chef, Don't be Hardy, Vanderpump Rules and more!

Dirty John has had a lot of coverage online, people in the office were discussing it and finally as we concluded Summer I have binge watched the entire eight episodes this week.

It's easy to watch, great to see Eric Bana back on the small screen and Connie Britton is alwasy wonderful. From her abrupt wrap up on 9-1-1 this was a meaty true crime role for her to get her head around.



Dirty John follows crazed con artist John Meehan and his relationship with Debra Newell. It quickly goes pear shaped and we get to see a few flashbacks into his career as a con artist.

Veronica and Terra Newell were a little average and at times hard to watch but both actresses have had some fine roles in the past. Juno Temple has recently been in Vinyl as well as a pile of films and Julia Garner is best known as the girl with the foul mouth in Ozark.

Dirty John is a quality drama on a not so quality network, luckily in Australia it airs on Netflix.

Whilst this is not perfect, it's a damn easy watch, Dirty John is streaming now. This concludes my #SUMMER-BINGE-FEST as tomorrow is Autumn (in Australia).
