I came accross this brilliant mini-series last night, and watched the entire thing. Anyone else watching?

"HBO's miniseries, currently halfway through its six-episode run, is more gripping than whatever else you're watching on television right now. The genre-bending show is catnip for anyone who spent the final months of 2014 obsessing over the podcast "Serial." Replace Adnan Syed with 71-year-old Durst, and give host Sarah Koenig's role to Andrew Jarecki, the filmmaker at the helm. Jarecki directed 2010's "All Good Things," a fictionalized take in which Ryan Gosling portrays a Durst analog. An elusive presence for years while the New York media gobbled up his scandal like a midnight snack, Durst, for reasons not quite clear, volunteered to discuss his case with Jarecki. Out of that, "The Jinx" was born."

I've been watching since it came out. Really good show, entertaining and true
 
do you think he did it?
I think he murdered Morris Black...the fact he made sure to stash the head somewhere else, he knew where he shot him wouldnt explain an accident

Not sure about his wife ( I think his family may have helped with that though) or his friend in LA

Very good series so far
 
I think he's guilty of everything he's been accused of. I like to study his face when he talks, I swear he blinks hard everytime he tell a lie. lol maybe im trying to play dectective and what not but yeah I think he's lying.

Dude is obviously smart and likeable, but his demeanor just screams sociopath to me.
 
Good points ya'll.

I remember watching and thinking to myself, how did everyone assume to "know" his wife was in NY? Just because she called the dean of her medical school? (Also odd)

I haven't been to medical school, but is it normal practice to call your dean if you aren't feeling well? Ol girl def called for him.

Also, the fact that he admittedly lied about returning home after dropping her off and grabbing drinks with a friend? Really.....The friend murdered in LA. There has to be a link here.

He stays blinking hard as hell all the time lol.....I think he definitely killed his first wife no question. Also, you would think police would search their house after his wife goes, super sketch that they didnt even bother. The detective that was in charge of the case was definitely paid off by someone. Also, his own brother said he hired bodyguards bc he is scared robert is trying to kill him.(I think robert was caught tresspassing at his brothers's house with guns and ski mask)
 
Also, he cant be that intelligent. Who throws body parts in water and doesnt expect them to float c'mon now
 
didn't even know this existed, i really enjoyed Serial.. this sounds like it's even better, will watch soon.


thanks opie.
 
Texas ****** up by only charging for murder instead of adding dismembering and tampering. Those arrogant *** southern boys had no idea what that NY money could do.
 
Crazy.

Case was just re-opened too. 

Just saw the latest episode that :x, that letter might get him charged can't wait to see his reaction. Way too much concidence in the Susan berman murder now.

He's such an idiot for doing the interviews,he couldnt just be content with getting away getting away murder 3x.
 
It's like he wants to get caught and wants his shh out there even more.. because this is all he has. His family disowned him and didn't really leave him with anything to work with when they gave the company to the other son (who really pisses me off, just by his smugness), so he's doing everything he can to make them look bad all while trying to get caught and go to prison again. No person in their right mind would agree to an interview or documentary like this if they didn't WANT their **** to be exposed to an even broader audience, esp. considering he has to know all the stuff there is out there on him.


People like this kill for the thrill and suspense of the quest of being caught. The first time it might be something you're really afraid of, but once you get away with it you feel like you're untouchable and want to try it again, when that fails.. you do it again. It really reminds me Joran Van Der Sloot, the dude who (more than likely) killed Natalie Holloway and that girl from Peru for which he was actually caught for.

The world is really insane.
 
Wow... this dude seriously thought he cannot be touched and for a while, he was right. Can't wait to see this play out on the show itself.
