HBO’s adaption of a 2017 New Yorker article My Dentist’s Murder Trial, follows a long tradition of investigative journalism being transformed into gripping true crime drama
The article by author and journalist James Lasdun became a fixture on our Twitter feeds after it was published, which follows Dr Gilberto Nunez, who as well as being Lasdun’s dentist was indicted in 2015 for killing his friend Thomas Kolman.Kolman was found dead in the driving seat of his car outside a 24-hour gym in 2011 and his murder trial brought to light a whole host of details including “adultery, false identities and a lethal sedation”.
“A syncope is a hidden rift or omission. The story of Thomas Kolman has its own syncope: the twenty-eight minutes he spent with someone in the darkness,” writes Lasdun in the piece. “Whoever it was must have some idea of how he died. One hopes that this figure will one day step out of the shadows.” Intriguing.
It isn’t clear whether Harbour will play the victim, Kolman, or the article’s author, Lasdun, and further details about the series are yet to be released. But, if the heritage of investigative journalism-inspired true crime is anything to go by, this is one to put on your watch list.
