Is anyone watching Dirty John tonight? Betty Broderick's story

[Anonymous]

If you're watching at 10, share your opinion!

I don't think anyone could top Meredith Baxter's version of Betty.

It's interesting that her children are evenly split on whether she deserves parole.

I just rewatched the Meredith Baxter’s version a few months ago. First time in probably 20 years. I didn’t realize until this last time that there were two Lifetime movies on her. Also, didn’t realize that almost all of the content for the Lifetime movie came from Dan’s family. They didn’t address any of the behavior from Dan’s GF/wife such as writing “maintenance for the cow” on Betty’s alimony/child support checks. The second movie also didn’t address Dan’s brother stealing the money that was meant to be for the boys.

I’ve DVR’d this version but haven’t watched yet.

I would love to re-watch the Lifetime version again! It did seem very skewed towards Dan's side.

I love it so much. I grew up in San Diego and remember the whole trial etc. the Oprah interviews are good too. They are doing a great job telling the story.

Both episodes are on YouTube. As are most of their bad 90s movies 😬

There’s a lot more to this story than was in the Lifetime series. It’s good background as to why Betty was so crazy and why two of the kids forgive her.

Yeah I know. I've read plenty and recently listened to a podcast. I just know that at the end of it, she committed murder. I don't think anyone deserves to be murdered.

Glad to hear this is good. Missed the first episode and I think it’s reairing tonight so I will have all of them so far DVRd. Love both Christian Slater and Amanda Peet.

I feel sorry for Betty. She should have just listened to her friends and got a new life and not remain fixated on Dan. She could have had a great life!

Just got caught up--ooh, it's good!

Which post said that Dan and his new wife deserved to be murdered?
