“Dirty John’s” Debra Newell is dating a very bad man — a fact that viewers should pick up on by the end of the premiere of the new Bravo series, starring Connie Britton and Eric Bana, this Sunday.
Unless, that is, you’ve already listened to the Los Angeles Times true-crime podcast the drama is based on, in which case you know going into the first episode that John Meehan (Bana) is a con man, if ever there was one.
Debra’s (played by Britton) daughters (Julia Garner and Juno Temple) are nervous because their mom is so deeply infatuated with this mysterious doctor (or a man we at least think is a physician) she met online — a man who is prone to random outbursts and creepy tendencies.
