Season 1
This true crime anthology, based on the podcast of the same name, follows the terrifyingly true story of Orange County interior designer Debra Newell’s romance with John Meehan, a handsome and romantic charmer who sweeps Debra off her feet and pulls her into his web of lies.
Season 2
Betty Broderick, the perfect Southern California blonde wife and mother, supports her handsome college boyfriend Dan through both medical and law school. When he explodes 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. 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.
User Reviews
Very interesting & tense TV show. Actors and actresses have done terrific job. Especially daughters. They played spoiled, snobby, rich annoying rude teens very well. I couldn't stand them during whole TV show. I don't even know who I hated more, Ronnie or Terra. They were horrible teens. The way they talked & walked irritated me so much that actually I was cheering up for John to kill them, lol. Even their voice was so annoying... Anyway, great TV show. All actors and actresses did fantastic job, including guy who played John and actress who played Debra. If you like movies like "Stepfather", you will like this TV show. Highly recommended.
Edit: Second season is quite different. It's not bad, but definitely it lacks the tension. It's not as interesting as first season. It's more about wife and husband marriage/divorce and trial process which overall seems boring, but it's not that bad. While I would give first season 10/10, I would give second season 6/10.
