Posted in New Shows, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on May 29, 2020| Leave a Comment »

The USA Network series Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story will debut on June 2 at 9 PM followed by its time-slot premiere at 10 PM.

The 2nd installment of the anthology series spans the 1960s to the 1980s through the breakdwon of a marriage that ended in double homicide. Betty Broderick (Amanda Peet) was the perfect Southern California blonde wife and mother. Married to her handsome college boyfriend Dan (Christian Slater), Betty charms everyone she meets. After years of sacrifice and suffering while supporting Dan through both medical and law school until he exploded into the San Diego legal community as a superstar, Betty is finally enjoying the fruits of their labors.

That is, until Dan hires Linda, a bright, beautiful young woman without baggage with whom he can happily forget the struggles of his past. Betty’s attempts to fight back and enraged refusals to accept reality only serve to isolate and destabilize her until she loses her very identity. And Dan’s cold confidence blinds him to the bear he has created, and won’t stop poking until it’s too late.

Here is a trailer for Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story:
