    Series starts strong discussing the fatal boat crash, but falls apart in the second and third episodes. Creators spend too much time with the Wall Street Journal writer who had no information to provide other than rumors she heard from locals. There's plenty of evidence that's been covered by other sources, but you wouldn't know it watching this.

    If you’re interested in the Murdaugh story, and a lot of people obviously are, you’ll want to devour both. They necessarily cover a lot of the same ground, but talk to different people, which gives them a different feel and more perspectives. “Murdaugh Murders” goes in on tacky reenactments a little more. ... Of course it’s too much. That’s why people can’t look away.

    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.

    If you don’t already know its stranger-than-fiction twists, “Murdaugh Murders” is worth watching simply for its coherent, if slightly and predictably sensationalized, account of the events.
