R.J. Cutler is one of our most accomplished documentarians. He's also one of the most unpredictable.
Thirty years after breaking through with "The War Room," which examined how Bill Clinton's campaign team shocked the political world, the 61-year-old Emmy winner has come out with "Murf the Surf," a four-part series about Jack Roland Murphy, a jewel thief who tried to redeem his sordid reputation by embracing evangelism. It premieres at 10 p.m. ET Sunday on MGM+ (formerly known as Epix).
In between the two projects, Cutler has profiled Oliver North ("A Perfect Candidate"), John Belushi ("Belushi"), Anna Wintour ("The September Issue") and Billie Eilish ("The World's a Little Blurry"), as well as directed episodes of the prime-time soap, "Nashville."
