The best thing this series did was remind me that I really like the Eels.

I thought it was very well made and artfully put together. Gripping and tense, with some humor to it. Not sure if I'm just desensitized to human atrocities but I didn't exactly see it as the deeply disturbing thing people keep describing it as. Mostly i saw it as a document of an oblivious sociopath and the sheer ineptitude of everybody around him. Kind of like Pearl Jam March Madness.

It was basically a 5 hour long episode of Dateline. Not that that's a bad thing. Though it would have been better with some scenes of Keith Morrison walking around randomly.

Reaching back a few pages for this because I just watched it yesterday...and I can say that this was not the case! I knew Durst had been arrested, I knew the final episode included a "bombshell" and a supposed confession, so I thought I was prepared for it. But as they started the final interview and Jerecki started to pull out photos, I found that my heart was pounding. How would he respond? Considering how cold-blooded he'd been during everything (testimony, interviews, etc.), I fully expected him to shrug it off. But, man: when you could see his stomach start to turn (the burp!) when he realized he'd basically been caught...I've never seen anything like that. Great stuff.
