How this season is filed
Andrew Jarecki's Robert Durst docuseries made access the plot: real-estate heir, missing women, then a hot-mic bathroom murmur that detonated mid-air. Prestige true crime as lightning — finale timing that altered legal news and launched a boom, for better and worse, of documentary as event television.
