11 Great True Crime Docs to Watch Right Now4 of 12
"The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst"
Along with the Serial podcast, HBO's "The Jinx" helped usher in the current boom era of true crime docs. Following the rise and fall of New York real estate mogul Robert Durst — and a series of suspicious deaths that went along with it — the series benefited as much from its protagonist (Durst is a shady enigma, to say the very least) as it did current events: Durst was arrested on murder charges just hours before the series finale aired. That development, coupled with a finale that ranks among the most shocking in recent memory, cemented "The Jinx" as a doc series for the ages.
