![]() The Jinx is a mini-series produced in 2015 by HBO. This six-part series documents the strange past of Robert Durst, the disappearance of his wife, the murder of his neighbour and murder of his friend. The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (2015) Two different men are charged and jailed for the murders, who, hence the title, claim to be innocent. Throughout the series we are shown reasons why they couldn’t have possibly done it and conspiracy theories about police corruption that could have led to them being framed. This series sounds like any other of that genre but it is of such high standard with clear evidence pointing to the innocence of the men that it will leave you researching the case for hours afterwards. As good as Making a Murderer was back in 2015 when it first came out, there are far better, less hyped series with more intricate back-stories that I would recommend – like The Innocent Man. It’s about two murders (separate but possibly linked) that occur in small town Ada, Oklahoma in the 1980s. The Innocent Man was added to Netflix not long after Making a Murderer 2, which meant it gained way less attraction than it should have. However, it has led to having to weed out the mediocre ones. To save you some time, here are some of the ones I deem worthy of watching – some on Netflix and some not. With help from Netflix, the True Crime genre went from being a niche genre that you wouldn’t dream of discussing with anyone in case they thought you were a psychopath, to being some of the most discussed documentaries, docuseries and podcasts in the office. In many ways, this is the dream for a True Crime lover there’s certainly no lack of choice and you no longer have to hide your ‘strange’ interest in crime. True Crime is my favourite genre to read, watch and listen to. But let’s be real here – the genre has officially reached saturation point.
