‘Dirty John’

My sister has told me about an American series called, ‘Dirty John’ that has been available on a podcast but has now been made into a series.
It is going to be shown on Netflix in the near future. It is a true crime story based on a man called John Meehan who is a con artist and sociopath. He enters the life of a beautiful, successful woman who is missing love in her life. He sweeps her off her feet!
Her family and friends are suspicious of him and have him investigated.

I am looking forward to it, it sounds like my cup of tea!

Has anyone heard of it?

Yes, my wife and I watched the series last week. She had recoeded it and we watched the whole 8 (or 9?) shows over three nights. It's quite unbelievable that someone could be as devious and clever as this man and not be caught over such a long period of time.

I don't know your viewing likes or dislikes but I think it would be worth giving it a look.

There's also a two hour documentary out there where you can see the actual people involved, rather than the actors in the series. If you like the series, that is also worth viewing.

Not heard of it but I'm sure it will pop up on Netflicks.

Thank You, summer.
I watched the first episode of Frankie and Grace... what a bombshell! It was very funny and I have always liked Lily Tomlin, she’s a great comedy actress. Jane Fonda is good too.

Yes, l remember poliyanna, she is really nice and she shared my love of the Vulcan Bomber, she even used to salute them when they took off!!
