Murdaugh: Death in the Family

Having followed this story since the morning after the murders and being a day one listener of the Murdaugh Murders podcast, this show is fantastic. The casting is spot on. Jason Clarke is incredible as good ol boy Alex and Johnny Berchtold deserves major awards for his portrayal of Paul.

The attention to detail that went into this show is phenomenal (I'm looking at you Capri Suns). For those of us that have followed closely since the beginning, this show is giving us a brilliantly acted and carefully dramatized version of all of the facts and stories that we are so familiar with while keeping the victims at the forefront.

For anyone concerned with the timeline issues, you should watch/listen to the official companion podcast. Most of the creative choices/changes are explained there! And remember, this is not a documentary-it's a scripted series!!

Some of the best acting I've seen. Though I knew the story of the Murdaugh family I was still entertained by the way it was told in the series. Whoever did the casting is a genius. I can't wait for the next episode and the next and the next. Congrats to the cast and crew for an absolute success. Thumbs up.

I just finished watching this show, and all I can say is that it's hilarious. J. Clarke's (Alex Murdaugh) acting is phenomenal, capturing all of the aspects of a sociopath's manipulative behavior, as well as the lack of empathy and guilt. The entire narrative is heartbreaking, demonstrating how indulging humans in overprotected and strong families can result in immature, self-centered adults who have no guilt for either themselves or their children.

We all know the story as presented on live TV, a Netflix series and countless podcasts and articles, but Jason Clarke's depiction of Alex Murdaugh was definitely the highlight of the series, for moi

Clarke transformed into the character and his excellent supporting cast, especially Patricia Arquette, enhanced his performance making the entire production feel genuine, factual and artistic.

It's a frightening, breathtaking true story. Hats off to Hulu for a great production on something we all now know too much about 👏🏽

This was a great depiction of a horrible event. The show handles it with taste and amazing acting that humanizes this family.

Although everyone is great, especially Patricia Arquette as Maggie, but Clarke steals the show. If he doesn't win the Emmy I would be shocked.

I hope this show helps keep pressure on the ongoing investigation to find the people or person responsible for the death of Steven Smith.

Definitely watch this show.
