Nearly a decade ago, HBO's The Jinx helped kick off the true-crime boom, and played a role in the arrest of suspected murder Robert Durst. Now, its follow-up series is grasping for revelations.
helped kick off the true-crime boom, and played a role in the arrest of suspected murder Robert Durst. Now, its follow-up series is grasping for revelations.which aired in 2015 , was a huge contributor to the true-crime boom in television and audio. It came out the same year as Netflix'sThe first 'Jinx' ended with a hot mic murder admission. 'Part Two' shocks as well
The story of the docuseries goes like this: Durst had long been suspected in both the disappearance of his wife, Kathie, in 1982 and the shooting death of his best friend, Susan Berman, in 2000. He had admitted shooting his neighbor, Morris Black, in 2001 but was acquitted by a jury on a theory of self-defense.
is now part of the story of Durst's life after his arrest. The filmmakers show some footage of the series finale viewing party they held in 2015 for the family of the disappeared first wife Durst is suspected of having killed. We watch their relief and gratitude when the"confession" is played.
Ethically, those things raise some questions. But as television, the biggest problem with the episodes HBO provided to critics is that they're pretty boring. Without Durst's involvement , the series often seems to be grasping for revelations. It's also heavily reliant on reenactments, which aren't particularly visually interesting and look a lot like every other true-crime reenactment on TV.
There's no telling what might come in the final two episodes; perhaps they have more to say, and that's why they were held back from critics. The big revelations incame in the last two episodes, after all. But in the meantime, this feels like a mystery show in search of a mystery, a true crime series with limited truths to share.
