Dirty John was a great podcast, so obviously, they created a show. I watched the show prior to listening to the podcast, but I have seen a couple of true crime specials on the story, so it wasn't a new case.


My main thought was, damn, this broad is dumb af. What the hell was wrong with her? I've only seen Connie Britton in American Horror Story, and she was dumb in that too. Maybe it's her MO, not sure. It just caused me to shake my head... A LOT.

Eric Bana was sufficiently creepy and charming. He was the best part of the whole series, and gave the strongest performance.

Would I watch it again? Probably not, but it was entertaining while I was watching it.

True crime is seemingly the only thing Netflix gets right the majority of the time. It obvious, from the beginning, who did it. This doc was a little different, utilizing posts and various texts to propel the stories.
To be honest, the mom was super annoying. She's definitely one of those people I would block all her posts on Facebook. It makes me incredibly uncomfortable when people obsessively post their kids online, and other personal business. It's icky. The dude seemed like a ticking time bomb, and half of me can't blame him.
It's stories like these that make me never want to get married or have a long-term partner. I did like that at the end, they posted the stats of murders by partners.

From the very earliest of pages the reader is drawn into the horrific events that kick of Mr. Mercedes. It isn't much of a spoiler to say that a deeply troubled person commits an awful crime leaving 8 dead. This happens in the first few pages of the book. From there the reader is taken on an in-depth journey into finding out who this heinous person is and what drove them to commit the act. Along the way characters are developed on both sides of the crime as the reader gets to know Detective Bill Hodges, Holly, Gerome, and of course, Mr. Mercedes. This is a great example of how King can build an extremely full world of characters while telling a compelling story.

In true King style there are bits of the story that just don't seem to add, but aren't necessarily a detraction. Bits of the story move much slower than the main story line but they are intermittent and short in nature. As a whole it doesn't detract from the engrossing nature of the book.
