I binged the Hulu/Disney+ series, "Murdaugh: Death in the Family."
For those of you not familiar, it's the true crime story of the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, a mother and son, allegedly by the hands of Alex Murdaugh their husband and father respectively. But it goes deeper than these two murders. Their maid/nanny Gloria had a life altering accident on their property, Alex was accused of embezzling from his clients, Paul "Paw Paw" was involved in the death of his high school friend while boating. Just SO MUCH happened in this.
I've seen the documentaries, the two part miniseries, and other things about the once most powerful family in South Carolina. But this goes into expert detail (taking some liberties of course). This was a deep dive.
This limited mini-series fills in gaps and updates timelines (their maid/nanny passed two years before the series starts, but the producers/writers wanted to include her as a way to honor her family).
Based on the details of the show, I do believe this may have been what happened. Although I am still unsure about Alex's motive.
I would give this (no spoilers) 4 out of 5 stars. Well-acted and written. I will say Jason Clarke and Patricia Arquette are CLEARLY brilliant as Alex and Maggie, but Johnny Berthold as Paul "Paw Paw," Gerald McRaney as Randolph, Will Harrison as Buster, Kathleen Wilhoite as Gloria, and J. Smith-Cameron as Marian were my faves. Brittany Snow as Mandy, the reporter who reported every detail of the Murdaughs to the press was SEVERELY underused.
