Bravo's new limited series "Dirty John" tells the story of a conman who infiltrates a woman's life and slowly tries to destroy it piece by piece. Based on the 2017 hit Los Angeles Times podcast, Eric Bana stars as “Dirty” John Meehan himself, the now-deceased conman at the center of the plot, alongside Connie Britton as Debra Newell, the woman who was duped by Meehan. It premieres at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT on Bravo.

Looking for a lighter, holiday special instead of a crime anthology series? The Food Network's "Holiday Gingerbread Showdown" premieres at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT. Nine gingerbread artisans compete for a $25,000 prize.
