I expected this to be more exciting and thrilling. Instead, I kept zoning out.

Where did that cool music go? There’s ads in very disruptive places. It sounds different and not in a good way. I know because I’ve listened to it many times. Why mess with a really good thing? I can’t listen to it any more. The impact is gone. ___________ Old review: Dirty John was my first...Read full review »

There’s a good reason this is often rated #1 for Wondery. It’s so much better than most podcasts. Her daughter is my hero.

It’s a well-written podcast and an interesting story. I’d say it could have been a bit shorter. Honestly, if they took out more of the victims’ interviews it may have made me sympathize with them more and helped shorten the length. Skipped the lawyer man. He was putting on the dramatics

I’m sorry but these women are complete morons. Grandma, mom and daughters are flat out DUMB! I truly hope they don’t vote or breed. Debbie deserves to be locked up at the very least and that’s me being nice.

Terra screamed at the most popular podcast hosts at OF because she and P couldn’t control their jealousy. Then when confronted with her insanity she went full Karen. This woman needs to step away and get some serious therapy.

This podcast is very good however it sounds as if it was edited by a high schooler on an iPhone. People are cut off mid-sentence as it cuts abruptly to a commercial for another podcast. Like another reviewer, I thought I’d accidentally hit the forward button. I thought it must be a fluke but no...Read full review »

The first time I heard an ad I truly thought I had hit a button somehow and changed podcasts. It cut off in the middle of a sentence and went into the telling of another story. Turned out it was as ad for the newest season of Suspect. Each time there is an ad break it does this. Makes it hard to...Read full review »

I listen to a lot of podcasts. I enjoyed the story and the way it was told however, it is extremely disappointing when you are listening to someone be interviewed and a commercial abruptly cuts in. I’m not sure who did the editing but it is horrible. Commercials should be inserted at the end of...Read full review »

The incidental music is appalling!!! It wasn’t there before
jadygrey via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/28/23
This is a series that you’ll be hooked on while listening and then after think, “did that really need to be a series?” There are plenty of con men and jerks out there but this one is portrayed in some good story telling that makes you really hate him and want to make sure he’s punished, and so...Read full review »

I listened to this podcast when it first came out. It was so interesting and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I recommended it to all of my friends and family! It was by far my favorite podcast series. All these years later I decided to re listen to the series after recommending it to more...Read full review »

I have to tell you, Deborah‘s family and Deborah herself, honestly, I’m not sure if they’re mentally stable beginning with her mother forgiving the murderer of her daughter and saying she still loved him. I was just floored. I think they’ve all been out in the California sun too long. I...Read full review »

I don’t mean to victim blame here but can we please talk about what a moron Debbie is??? And grandma is a whack job. Good grief
A1988te via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
This was a very good podcast. I have been with a ” Dirty Filthy Chris” .. got taken to the cleaners and 10 years to extricate myself from him!! Only difference was , I had no support from family or police .. which made it very Hard . Feel like I’m a survivor . There are so many ways that...Read full review »

Truly so refreshing to listen to true crime where there isn’t a dead victim. Like I cannot express how nice it is. Anyways I’m glad he is dead :)
Cynthia Cordova via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
Well researched, beautifully presented and a remarkable portrayal of an important story.
SimLingenfelder via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/05/23
Oof
We couldn’t make it past 30 minutes. The daughter sounds so spoiled and we couldn’t listen to anymore of it. Might be good if you can get past that??
35 year old via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/23
Wondery is very good at covering true crime cases using this format of storytelling over a handful or two episodes with episode being very digestible in terms of content and length. As someone with a particular passion for understanding and improving how our society responds to domestic violence,...Read full review »

I’m new to podcasts and I truly enjoyed this series . Kept me coming back for more . Also I almost gave up on apple product as I have many and pay a pretty penny for them all but this series gave me a new perspective maybe apple should thank you .
niah_77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/03/22
Love the podcast. They mom pisses me off and I can’t believe Debra. She laughs and giggles the entire time she talks about that psychopath. Oh, he dotes on me so much and takes me wherever I want to go. He cried in church!!! Whatever. Billy served 3!years for executing her sister
supermegahotbabe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/22
Usually wonderly podcasts get an automatic 5 stars, and I usually finish them in a day. They’re well told and always super interesting. This one I kinda felt less interested, and more forced into just sticking with the story. The story was definitely done well and good but nothing comparable to...Read full review »

Honestly, Debra and her mom sound like nice people but also the dumbest people I’ve ever heard explain themselves.
intxca via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/22
I listen to so many podcasts, but don’t think I’ve ever been as hooked as with this one! I wish I could listen all over again not knowing the story 😂
ANHenny via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/03/22
The reporting is good but the casting of Debra as an innocent victim is ridiculous. She puts her children in danger because of her own selfishness. Her only defense could be that she is genuinely very unintelligent but I think she knows better. She never once says out loud that she feels guilty,...Read full review »

Wow
This story paints a clear picture of just how quickly people can manipulate others.
Bmaccarter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/22
I was totally hooked and almost pulled an all-nighter but fell asleep to the Dirty John series. Very entertaining & informative especially as a social worker/ murder-crime investigative junky like myself ❤️
Thatbitch305 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/22
Although the tv show is great, hearing the actual case is brilliant!
i❤HK via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/22
Well researched, captivatingly told and sensitive to the important and difficult topics like coersive control, toxic relationships and intimate partner violence (and the normalization of that) without sensationalizing it. Especially the Bonus Episode which features the strong and very courageous...Read full review »
annapodana via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 05/08/22
I find it a bit disturbing that Debbie is still giggling when talking about the guy that tried to kill her daughter. It‘s interesting to see how many people around her have raised questions about him really early on and how hard she had to work stay in denial. It‘s an interesing inside into what...Read full review »
ZiaStellar via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 05/06/22
It is SOOO hard to listen to Terra talk. I could not get through episode one. DOES IT GET BETTER? I know she was attacked, and that is tragic and she is an amazing person for fighting off her attacker, but she should NOT be speaking in the podcast. Or at least should have been coached, she...Read full review »
Bowielover3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/22
Wow. Cindy’s mum’s behaviour is not forgiveness. It’s victim-shaming and loving her abuser more than her own daughter. No wonder her other daughter continuously accepted emotional, financial and psychological abuse. Poor woman. The woman have been taught to be submissive. I wish all the victims...Read full review »
BinxyBeaut via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/01/22
It really takes all kinds in this world. I felt deep sympathy for Shad and his late mother most of all. It is no wonder Debra turned out the way she did with a mother like Arlene. “The jury’s eyes all filled with tears” made me physically ill. Debra continued the cycle and I did not get the sense...Read full review »

Great podcast
MBasile80 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/22
Could not make it through the first episode. Not one sensible human being with thoughts deeper than a puddle or interested in something more than a “blue and cream scheme.” Good grief.
GoodGrief73 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/22
I’m a huge podcast fan and I know this one rated highly, and as interesting as it was, somehow it missed the mark for me. I enjoyed “who the hell is Hamish” much more.
Stricklandstreet via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/12/22
They’re interviewing one daughter who has the most irritating and scathing voice. I could no longer handle it. Plenty of other podcasts to listen to without torturing myself.
hot thang1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/21
Jaw dropping true story, couldn’t be told any better.
Pya3g via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/21
This has nothing to do with the podcast as a whole, so far it’s good, but terra’a voice makes me physically ill ISUEIAUSU This is a joke so I don’t want sound mean but the things she says in the voice she says then with makes me literally tense up Don’t worry tho terra I’m a hater and please...Read full review »

Great story but quite possibly the worst soundtrack of any media in history. It gets worse with each episode, with the last containing the most terrible song I’ve ever listened to.
Curtismaximus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/21
I am a huge fan of podcasts. The first major podcasts I really got into years ago were dirty John and doctor death. Recently I wanted to re-listen to both of these podcasts, and to my dismay I found that I, a loyal podcast fan who has listened to a number of your podcasts beyond these two, no...Read full review »
Polarbears rule!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/21
It really seems like Debra is like so many women who have put a man before their children or even common sense. The woman was married 4 times and married this guy after 2 months! I do feel some compassion bc she is a clearly broken and hurting person. The money, the business and the “OC”...Read full review »

i’m a huge fan of investigative podcasts, especially those focusing on crime, being told from the victim’s perspective. because of this, many people i know told me to give this a listen. honestly though, i can’t understand why. this story is so boring to me and the episodes are dragged out and...Read full review »

So good! Listened to all of it on a road trip recently and the time flew.

I loved it. I found this after listening to the first wife in auditable. Even thought I knew how the story was gonna end. This was a whole new version from someone else’s life. Thanks !!
Piscesgirl3880 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/21
Was brought here by all the good online reviews. Thought the first few episodes were really good, and was equally surprised by how something like this could’ve happened! I couldn’t finish the series - at the end of the fifth episode I’m seeing the story dragging on and on, and the producer...Read full review »
