“When The Jinx aired its first six episodes on HBO in 2015, it did something that very few true-crime shows had done up to that point or since: It captured a murderer, Robert Durst, seemingly confessing to his crimes on a hot mic. If you forgot what he said in the much-discussed finale — “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course” was the gist — the first episode of The Jinx: Part Two, which airs Sunday night on HBO, will remind you. The follow-up picks up exactly where the first Jinx left off, with the arrest of Durst that was prompted by filmmaker Andrew Jarecki’s investigative series, and focuses on the court case that unfolded when Durst was finally charged with killing his friend Susan Berman in 2000.” — ”Let’s Get Back on The Jinx’s Timeline Going Into Part Two”
