The Jinx Season-Premiere Recap: Beverley Hills
Part 2 manages to be both a followup to the fallout of the 2015 miniseries and a victory lap for director Andrew Jarecki.
The day before the finale of The Jinx, Jarecki’s six-episode true-crime phenomenon, Robert Durst was apprehended by the FBI for the murder of his friend Susan Berman 15 years earlier in Los Angeles. Based on this compelling but most dispensable first episode, the cynical answer to why this second season exists is as a victory lap for Andrew Jarecki, who had done what so few true-crime podcasts and series about unsolved murder cases had accomplished: cracked it wide open. In one extraordinary bit of cognitive dissonance, Jarecki has invited members of the victims’ families (primarily from his first wife Kathie’s) and other prominent subjects from the documentary, like Galveston detective Cody Cazalas and former DA/current Fox News ghoul Jeanine Pirro, to his house for a viewing party of the finale.
