Is anybody else watching this? It has to be one of the most fucked up stories I've ever heard.

I watched the first episode, was interested, but then forgot about it. Is it work catching up on?

Absolutely, yes. It's just wild. Unreal.

DAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM.

he's like a naive sociopath. weird.

Holy motherfucker!

Now THAT is how you end a documentary serial.

what is this about

That won't really hold up in court though, will it?

Probably not. But as far as "good tv" goes, it doesn't get any better.

what won't hold up in court

I'm fascinated to see how this progresses. Will the trial be televised? I'm reading reports today that his legal team from Galveston has reassembled and they're going to take care of this one, too.

What about the letter and the envelope? Does any of that matter? Obviously the FBI and the LAPD believe they have a case. And that's saying something after 15 years, right?

Is this like Serial?

Just Google "Robert Durst". It is all over the headlines today, Alex. Don't be lazy.

i heard all about this on NPR this morning. i just thought it was weird that there was a thread about something that had no real content.

Sort of.

It's a documentary about Robert Durst (son of Seymour Durst, one of the wealthiest real estate families in NYC). His wife disappeared in 82. His best friend was murdered in 2000. And his neighbor was murdered and dismembered in 2001.

The 2010 film All Good Things is loosely based on Robert and his wife and her disappearance. Andrew Jarecki directed the film. Durst contacted Jarecki in 2010 saying he'd heard about the film and wanted to see it. He then told Jarecki that he wanted to sit down with him, on camera, and tell his side of the story.

The Jinx is a six-part HBO documentary series detailing the events of Durst's life and investigating the curious murders that have surrounded him.

The final episode aired last night. And, unlike Serial, it had, in my humble opinion, a brutal and satisfying conclusion.

Wait, so is this documentary sort of a confession?
