The most thrilling television series around continues to wow us, and you can see it every Sunday for the chapter debuts on HBO (with replays at later dates-see schedule below.) If you think baby it's cold outside, the temperature is nothing compared to the chill you will get from being literally sucked into this series. The clincher? It's all real. Maybe don't watch it right before going to bed.
The documentary series by the place that does documentaries best, HBO (we've told you for years! Did you see the two Oscar winners we reviewed by them?

unravels Episode Four starting with the Galveston police in Texas. Durst tells us, "I was Mr. Bob in prison."
"No matter what I do in my life, I will have started off rich," says Bob Durst. "I'll never do anything on my own." This episode should appeal to all the legally enthused - it's the State of Texas vs. Robert Durst. For everyone studying law, there are many lessons to be learned from what happens here. The jury laughs at him dressing like a woman; he simply did not want to be Robert Durst anymore. Courtroom drama is at its best.
We're told he did not kill his neighbor, he just dismembered him.
The visual of floating garbage bags will not leave you after you watch this.
We're highly impressed by HBO's Jarecki's interview style and piercing questions. He accurately selects the most probing words to assemble them, and Durst's responses are remarkable.
"Nobody tells the whole truth."
Watch in wonder.

As you continue to watch this series, you are left to wonder if Bob Durst's mother hadn't died the way she did, how would his life be different?
