Can you believe HBO’s The JinxRobert Durst’s prison phone calls before he died in 2022, and previously unshared details about his crimes. Here’s a bit from The A.V. Club’s review:

As a sequel, The Jinx – Part Two largely succeeds. It leans into prosecution dramedy less reliant on new bombshell evidence and humanizes the friends and lovers Durst endeared without assuaging their guilt.
