I just spent like 12 hours intently listening to Serial waiting for the smoking gun moment like the end of The Jinx. nope. never happened. just "let the listener decide" what a cop out loving ending. gently caress you Serial and gently caress all the people demanding that I listen to it.

I hope this "season 2" at least puts closer on it or they start with a different case all together. otherwise gently caress that poo poo.

The Jinx is a show on HBO and you should watch that poo poo. It's about Robert Durst. Guy who's family owns like 1/5th of all property in NYC and built the Freedom Tower. He killed 3 people and it was always very hazy exactly what happened and he was never convicted. Then, as a free man, decides to participate in an HBO documentary/interview where he tells his side of the story to make him not look like such a bad guy. And in the process of working with this film crew ends up loving himself over because of renewed interest and investigating into his cases/he is an idiot.

He didn't need to do the show. He could've flown to Mexico and disappeared forever but instead basically got his own rear end in trouble for no reason other than wanting to tell his -fake- side of the story. Except there is a smoking gun moment and then an :aaa: moment at the very end.

Did you miss the earlier episodes where the reporter pretty much went "Well i have no loving idea what happened, let's investigate more next week". I think the first episode she came out and said she didn't know how this story was going to end.

My take: Adnan did it. Because he is a muslim.

also if you want a story with a better conclusion i really liked this one: dr gilmer & dr gilmer

country doc takes over for a country doc with the same name who went to jail for murdering his father, so new doc does his own investigation and uncovers the truth!! and learns a little about himself along the way!!!

save the cat and the writer's journey are screenwriter books that dumb down campbell's hero's journey so dumb hollywood types could understand it

so now every story has the same type of resolution

sadly it doesn't :(

quote:

The title Save the Cat! is a term coined by Snyder and describes the scene where the audience meets the hero of a movie for the first time. The hero does something nice, e.g., saving a cat, which makes the audience like the hero and sympathise with him. His inspiration for this was the movie Alien, where Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley saves a cat named Jones.
