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.

Is it really healthy to engage in such a voyeuristic exercise? It’s all so prurient, so sleazy. Yet, so irresistible.

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.

A useful, and severely unflattering, primer on a story that true-crime junkies can continue following right now on the nightly news.

For all the interesting material offered here, recent headlines suggest there’s still more to tell—making this non-fiction affair akin to a sequel rather than a finale.

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.
