'Dirty John': Connie Britton is teaching us how to deal with men like John Meehan

While Eric Bana has been great as John Meehan from the get-go, something tells us that this is about to become Connie Britton's show and we are here for it. 
PUBLISHED DEC 10, 2018

So far, Bravo's 'Dirty John' hasn't quite hit the horror notes of the real story, but after watching the third episode of the series one can only pray that they never have to be in Debra Newell's shoes. 'Remember It was Me' put the real back in the story based on true events thanks to Connie Britton, who has finally found the right nerve - and she's injecting a lot of fear into the story. 

The last episode had already picked up a lot of pace in terms of the plot, but this one went deeper in John Meehan's life than ever before. This time, Debra finally sees John for who he really is. While she finds out about his criminal past, dotted with violence and gruesome encounters, the audience is told the story about his past. This episode uses a lot of flashbacks to let us know how he trapped his last wife, Toniya and manipulated his way into working as a nurse. It also connects to the first episode of the series where we saw Meehan potentially stealing drugs from a patient, making us realize that he had jumped onto Debra right after he got kicked out of the hospital.
