Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story is a tabloid excavation undone by shaky storytelling: Review
), a hotshot malpractice attorney. We meet them at decadent extremes: her shoulder pads and vanity plates, his daughter-age girlfriend and bespoke Reaganite jackets hung almost knee-length. The grayscale cinematography evokes an eerie chill, with the occasional burst of bright 1986 clothing resembling so much lipstick on a corpse. Even if you haven’t Googled "Betty Broderick," you can sense murder in the future, but the powerful second episode flashes back through the central marriage.
Creator Alexandra Cunningham carefully tracks the couple’s rise from wintry ’70s food stamps through coastal ’80s Corvettes. In episode 3, Peet’s Betty meets her lady friends for harborside white wine, all of them just so sure that fellow housewife Yvonne can heal her marriage with philandering Martin . Crosscut to Martin at a whiskey lunch with Dan and his fellow legal partners strategizing a lucrative divorce: assets to hide, joint bank accounts to close, damn kids to therapize.
Sound good? It is...and then it isn’t. You sense lawsuits being avoided in the flat portrayals of the Broderick children. Rachel Keller embodies Dan’s new flame Linda as an ethereal cipher, viewed with a narrative remoteness that’s oddly mean. Peet plays confused desperation to the hilt, but the awkward structure of this eight-part saga turns her rage repetitive. The actual act of killing gets morseled out as a tension-creating Big Reveal, fodder for flashforwards and cliffhangers.
