The series is competently told and I binged it in one sitting. It gives a strong sense of this corner of South Carolina, a world of oyster roasts and hunting trips and small-town gossip. But, without wishing to give away the ending, it reaches no conclusions. A criminal trial is yet to come, which begs the question of why the documentary has been released now when it is frustratingly short of answers.

Having a docuseries ready to go as Alex Murdaugh’s trial commands headlines falls squarely into that basket [right place at the right time] even if it is, by its very nature, chasing a moving target. What “Murdaugh Murders” doesn’t do, ultimately, is make much of a case for watching it.

While Murdaugh Murders is a somewhat concise guide to the murder charges around Alex Murdaugh, there are better options out there.
