Jun 20, 2020The acting holds up just enough to show the 80’s and 90’s upper middle class marriage dynamic in which the men tossed the women aside for new younger versions when they finally “made it”. The casting has some questions including young and mature Betty not matching up and the acting being very soap opera-yyy. Overall though a decent second season of Dirty John worth a glance.

Aug 24, 2020It's not bad. I liked this season, but it wasn't as interesting as the first one. I wasn't hooked on it like on the first season. It's more about husband and wife marriage/divorce, trial process and etc.. A bit boring and slow comparing to first season, but all in all, not bad. I think 6/10 is an appropriate evaluation for it.

It’s a compassionate telling, one that teeters on the right side of empathy for a heinous convicted killer who was, also, a broken woman.

Amanda Peet’s performance is more than enough to put Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story on a season pass. But Broderick’s story is an intriguing one, and it looks like it’ll be told in a way that will show that some of her simmering rage didn’t just come out of the blue.

It’s too easy to say something like ‘the layers have layers,’ but there’s perhaps no better way of describing what Peet and Cunningham jointly accomplish here. ... While Betty’s performance gets much less convincing, Peet’s just keeps getting better and better. There is not a moment wasted, not a single line or non-verbal reaction not fully explored for all its potential. It is, and in this case this is a compliment, utterly exhausting to watch. The same isn’t necessarily true of the other characters.
