Murdaugh Murders: Deadly Dynasty

So disappointing! Do these people not do their homework?? Is it "Alex" or "Alec", "Murdaugh" or "Murdaoch", I would think the reporter would at least get the pronunciation correct! Who are these "experts", "Hampton Native" aka busy body?

This barely scratched the surface of the Murdaugh story in 3 episodes. Are there more episodes to be dropped later? Because the third episode ended like it was hinting more was coming: Alex on the phone from jail asking Buster if there was a Netflix taping. It felt cliffhanger-esque but from what I find there's nothing more. This Netflix series didn't tell us anything we didn't already know, and did not go into the depth of the other murders like HBO did. The HBO documentary is SO much more in depth. There were a couple of interesting tidbits here that weren't in the HBO version, but nothing earth shattering. It's like Netflix was late to the game. Overall a dud for those who were already following the story.

Why do people feel the need to post the end result before someone has watched it? Maybe they don't get what a review is supposed to be. There's even an option after typing their review to say if it contains a spoiler. Some people have no regard for others. You're reviewing the programme not the case.

The negative: I knew nothing of these murders and would like to know how the story ends. (Do documentaries have season two's?)

The positive: Producers did a good job of interviews with interesting townspeople as well as selecting pertinent research information to tuck in between.

And the eyewitnesses sold it for me. They are the ones who saw the family collapsing and who know the local culture and tone from years past.

Not sure why people would give this only one star.

It's a true crime doc, well taped and edited. Nothing more or less.

The situation itself is too broad to pick one "plot" line. This serves as an overview and introduction.

A watchable presentation, overall.

I liked how this docuseries was produced, in that the episodes keep you hooked and the visual accompaniments were realistic. I didn't know much about this pocket of true crime, either, and was more invested in everything AFTER the boat accident rather than during/before. Having accounts from the victims was also compelling, but confused me at times since names and relations weren't always shown.

Overall, I think this series is a nice time-killer, and isn't too dark to be a casual watch with other true crime junkies. I'm not sure if this will get a continuation, though, so updates to this case might end up coming from other series and sources.
