HBO’s The Jinx: The miniseries continues to play out
I recently binge watched “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” miniseries on HBO. I am a big fan of anything HBO puts out, they always make it worth watching. My wife was also excited to watch it since it is basically a “Dateline” or “48 Hours” on steriods.
It is a crazy wild story that spans decades, three murders, and some crazy happenings surrounding Robert Durst (now 71). What I found most interesting is how the documentary fatefully turns into the actual story. There are many twists and turns in The Jinx that makes it interesting to watch so I am not spoiling too much when I jump to the end and tell you that in the very last scene Durst admits to the various killings via a microphone he did not know was still recording in the bathroom saying “Killed them all, of course.” He was driven to this when the director of The Jinx uncovered some very incriminating evidence during the production of the documentary.
Below is a snippet where Durst confesses while stepping into the restroom:
Fast forwarding to after The Jinx HBO series aired, Durst was quickly arrested on March 15th in New Orleans. He is now awaiting extradition to California. Many questions remain. Will the key evidence be admissible or will it have been “tampered” with since it was featured in The Jinx and is submitted by the documentarians? Will director and/or HBO film chief Sheila Nevins be asked to testify? And the one I am most curious of... will there be a season 2 of “The Jinx”?
