'Dirty John' review: Connie Britton loses Debra Newell under all that melodrama
'Red Flags and Parades', the second episode of the series was annoying to say the least, thanks to Britton's over the top portrayal of a woman desperately in love.
'Dirty John's podcast was originally a terrifying story about a con man who, like an infectious parasite caught on to Debra Newell's life like there was no tomorrow. Bravo's TV adaptation is turning out to be far from terrifying and it has a lot to do with the melodrama that the show just won't let go of. 'Red Flags and Parades', the second episode of the series was annoying, to say the least - and it had a lot to do with Connie Britton's over the top portrayal of a woman desperately in love.
