I was deep in the Serial tank last year, convinced it was one of the best pieces of media that aired and The Jinx makes that poo poo look like a fuckin' Nancy Drew novel

It's astounding how well executed on every level this show is not only narratively but cinematically and executionally as well. just incredible

The music, tone and editing were outstanding all the way through. And despite the gently caress it isn't even a fiction, one of the all-time great HBO program intros which no one seems to have uploaded anywhere yet. :argh:

I mean...it's just the True Detective intro, dude, with a different song

Real talk tho mumbling to himself about what he thinks the documentary people are up to after an ambush interview and an envelope are not putting a man that rich behind bars, no way.

e: OJ had a trail of blood from the murder scene to his car and then from his car into his house, and he was much blacker and poorer than Bobby D

he also was put on trial in front of an overwhelmingly black jury right after rodney king

like, that's the reason he got off, and it's proof positive of what happens to society when racial tensions hit their absolute worst: no matter how guilty he was, and he was guilty as gently caress, when it comes to choosing between rewarding the LAPD and validating them and making them look like incapable morons, if you're black it's hard to argue against the latter

in contrast durst has a 6-part miniseries made about him that paints a pretty damning picture of the man, i mean even before the letter came to light and the hot mic statement I was almost positive he actually murdered everyone, simply because of how unconvincing a liar the guy is

I mean, he's charismatic as gently caress and has an electric personality that makes you want to like him but jesus christ robert durst couldn't lie his way out of a paper bag

I mean seriously he's like one of those early perpetrators in LA Noire, like when they're revealing how the whole interrogation system works and they give you suspects who go "I TOTALLY DIDN'T KILL HER" *shifts eyes from side to side nervously*

He's that level of fuckin' terrible at lying

It really makes me wonder how many wealthy murderers there are out there who weren't as stupid as Durst, and never even became suspects.

I remember reading some statistic about how the rate of sociopathy in murderers is only rivaled by the rate of sociopathy in investment bankers
