'Dirty John' Netflix Netflix is revisiting the fatal case of dangerous “rom-conman” John Meehan with its next true crime entry. The upcoming docuseries Dirty John reveals a portrait of the titular predatory bachelor, whose twisted story of manipulation, harassment and psychological abuse captivated the country in the 2010s after conning a woman and her children ultimately led to his violent downfall. Billed as “the definitive documentary series of the man behind the myth,” the Emma Cooper-helmed doc uses never-before-seen archival materials, chilling evidence and powerful testimony from the women who survived and the investigators who worked to piece together what happened.
