The Big Picture Almost 10 years ago, HBO dropped one of its best documentaries to date — The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Directed by Andrew Jarecki , the docuseries delved into the life of the titular New York real estate heir who had a string of odd disappearances surrounding him and even a murder acquittal under his belt. In the final episode, a hot mic moment would change the course of the cases against Durst and also how true crime docs have been put together since.
The trailer takes us back to those absolutely bonkers moments when Durst walked into a bathroom and said “Killed them all, of course,” not realizing that his mic was still on. From there on out, it was an absolute madhouse for Durst and the rest of the crew involved in The Jinx as the alleged killer was taken into custody and charged with the murder of Susan Berman.
Jarecki’s involvement with the original docuseries came shortly after the premiere of his film, All Good Things, a movie led by Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst which pulled inspiration from Durst’s life. The drama feature caught the eye of Durst, who had never spoken to a journalist about the missing persons cases that seemed to follow him wherever he went, and eventually, the pair struck up a conversation that would serve as the building blocks for The Jinx.
What To Watch While Waiting For ‘The Jinx - Part Two’ Close While you patiently wait for the first episode of The Jinx — Part Two to drop on HBO on April 21 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT , there are plenty of other docu-projects to check out. While The Jinx may have been the biggest documentary title on HBO in recent years, the classic true-crime film trilogy, Paradise Lost, remains the movie that reimagined the genre's storytelling.
