Its first run nearly a decade ago concluded with a shocking confession and helped kickstart the explosion of true crime documentary series. “The Jinx – Part Two” (HBO, 10 p.m.) now covers the trial of Robert Durst, the New York real estate mogul who has been tied to three deaths and was picked up on the lam in New Orleans by the end of the last season.
Audio is a boon this time around as well — every prison conversation by the talkative suspect is available, and those that aren’t caught by prison camera are recreated by careful stand-ins. The case doesn’t get any less weird — there are a lot of strange characters in his orbit to introduce. And by the end of the six episodes, Durst will take the stand himself.
