Customer Reviews
Jinx
It’s great. Very well done. This is one of my favorite true crime stories of all time. I have watched season 1 of the Jinx at least 3 times. I still remember when it hit the news in 2001 or so when the bags of Morris Black were found in Galveston Bay.
Zach Stuart-Pontier
How many times must I hear the most pretentious name, voice and cadence in one episode? He even makes certain to say his name repeatedly and slow, yet rushes others names. Yikes !
