Season 1 Review:
The Jinx does channel that we're-all-on-this-ride-together thrill that hooked so many listeners of last fall's NPR podcast, "Serial," about a murder of a Maryland teen. This may be a high-gloss treatment that utilizes all the tricks of the TV trade, including dramatic re-creations, and a way-over-baked credit sequence, but that sense of unfolding discovery remains.

Season 2 Review:
With smart use of archival and present-day footage and interviews with people involved replacing the role of Durst himself, The Jinx — Part Two skillfully expands itself to cover even more shocking revelations until we have a map to the full scope of Durst’s crimes and their aftermath at our fingertips.

Season 2 Review:
It leans into prosecution dramedy less reliant on new bombshell evidence and humanizes the friends and lovers Durst endeared without assuaging their guilt. (An episode centered on Berman is the strongest of the four provided for review.) But the show doesn’t ameliorate the ineffectiveness writ large of true crime at this moment.
