TV Spotlight: Dirty John

I spent the weekend watching  Dirty John , and what a great show! I liked it so much that I watched seven episodes in one night...and going to bed with only one episode left wasn't easy, but I was just too tired to stay up for one more. The show is based on the podcast by Christopher Goffard, and it stars Connie Britton, Eric Bana, Juno Temple, Julia Garner, and Jean Smart. Dirty John  tells the story of Debra Newell (Connie Britton), a successful fifty-something interior designer looking for love. When she meets John Meehan (Eric Bana), he seems too good to be true...and he is. It doesn't take long for Debra to fall for John, but her suspicious daughters (Juno Temple and Julia Garner) soon find out that John isn't what he seems. I won't say too much because I don't want to spoil things for people who don't know the story, but if you like entertaining true crime shows with great performances, Dirty John  is perfect for you. 😊 My rating: 8/10

Recommended Reads: A Serial Killer's Daughter by Kerri Rawson

When we hear about murder, our hearts go out to the families of the victims, but we often forget about another set of victims: the family of the murderer. In A Serial Killer's Daughter: My Story of Faith, Love, and Overcoming , Kerri Rawson tells us what it's like to find out your father is a serial killer (the BTK Killer in this case) and live with the shock, sadness, and guilt that follows. It's a really interesting read, and it must've taken a lot of courage for Rawson to write it. If you're a fan of true crime books, this is one you don't want to miss.
