This is based on the true story of John Meehan, a sociopathic con man who scammed, manipulated, intimidated and stole his way through life.
It focuses mainly on his relationship with Debora Newell and his insidious plan to take her for everything she had. But also flashes back through various stages of his life, charting his scumbaggery at every stage.
I knew nothing of this story until watching the series and was transfixed from start to shocking finish. The guy was a massive scumbag and this series is essential viewing for anyone who signs up for an online dating agency. A true tale of caution for the modern age.
I loved this. I knew one guy who is similar actually, just completely empty of remorse, all psychopath/sociopath. There’s no telling what they are capable of because there simply isn’t anything they are capable of if it’s in their own best interest. It’s truly scary.
It’s strange, though, how these types simply can’t hold down jobs or “keep things normal” for any period of time. I feel like even if they were to win a lotto it would all eventually implode. It’s like they only exist to f*ck sh*t up and take advantage of and hurt people, and if they aren’t doing that, they aren’t satisfied.
