Also based not only on a [odcast but the podcast was based on a true story in nearby Newport Beach to me
All of 4 episodes each about 65 minutes
This is excellent for a limited series on Bravo. Definitely highly recommended and thumb's way up
Good cast with Eric Bana starring as John (he was also an Executive producer)

Heads up, true crime fanatics: There's another TV show that demands your attention coming in November. Based on the hit podcast from Wondery and the Los Angeles Times, Dirty John—the story of a deceitful man and the woman who fell for him—is one of the most anticipated series of the fall.
The real-life story of "Dirty John" begins with Debra Newell, a successful interior designer who was looking for love on the internet—and found it in a handsome, self-proclaimed doctor named John Meehan. She fell into a whirlwind romance with him and they even got married, but all the while, her kids were suspicious of Meehan, noticing that parts of his story didn't add up. What started as love, eventually spiraled into a tale of lies, terror, and...well, to tell you anything more would give away the best plot twist ever. As the trailer says: "The scariest part is it really happened."
We've compiled everything you need to know about the upcoming series in anticipation of its premiere.
Dirty John originated as a critically-acclaimed true crime podcast and an accompanying article in the Los Angeles Times, narrated (on the podcast) and written (in the Times) by journalist Christopher Goffard. Goffard originally came across the story after learning that the police in Newport Beach, California, were investigating a possible murder, and discovered a trail of abuse and deceitful behavior committed by Meehan. The podcast also does a great job of covering the sometimes hard-to-spot tactics of abusers and manipulators, as well as the behaviors of those being abused.
Here is a brief look at those who lived the story
