This series is trending on Netflix in light of Alex Murdaugh's recent murder conviction, but the show itself focuses primarily on the earlier crimes (and alleged/possible crimes) of Murdaugh and his wealthy, powerful and severely dysfunctional family. The focus is appropriately on the victims and the presentation is (mostly) even-handed, although it does lapse into conspiracy/sensationalism in a few places. The series covers the murders of Murdaugh's wife and son Paul, but it ends before the start of Murdaugh's trial. Those looking for a documentary analysis of the trial evidence and/or a current examination of the possible motives in those murders may be disappointed.
