The Sky doc in question dives into the extremely bizarre history of real estate heir, Robert Durst.
Durst was long suspected in the still-unsolved 1982 disappearance of his wife Kathie McCormack as well as the subsequent murders of family friend Susan Berman and neighbour Morris Black.
The documentary is, of course, The Jinx and you can check out the trailer here:
Back in 2015, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst hit our screens which was later followed by The Jinx: Part II which aired a whole nine years on from the OG doc.

It reportedly took the filmmakers behind the first documentary two years to discover the audio of Durst's apparent confession to the murders of all three individuals.
The hot mic confession came about after Durst finished up an interview series director Andrew Jarecki.

After some rambling, Durst eventually concluded his monologue saying: "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course."
The shocking confession eventually lead to Durst's arrest and eventual murder conviction.
Durst has since died aged 78 in 2022 in California hospital while serving a life sentence for the murder of Berman, his friend and confidante.
Viewers have since rushed to social media to share their thoughts on the doc, with one TikTok user writing: "This will never be beaten - it's 10/10 all day long."

A second agreed: "100% my mouth was wide open then entire time he was in that bathroom."
A third confessed: "I’m rarely scared by movies or crime shows but I watched this whole series on a night flight and it ruined my nerves.
"Even hearing it now sets me on edge."
"It’s a really good documentary," echoed someone else.
