Chasing Charlie is the kind of con-artist saga that makes you gasp out loud on a walk. Private investigator Julia Robson spends seven years chasing a charming, ruthless conman — called Charlie here — across the UK, France, the US, and Portugal, trying to get justice for the people he left wrecked in his wake. It’s a true story of manipulation and control with some genuinely dark undertones, and Robson’s dogged, personal investment is what makes it hum. It’s an eight-episode series from Fremantle Australia. I’ll let the twists stay twists. If you love a globe-trotting true-crime chase with a con man at the center, add this to your queue.
