Murdaugh Murders: Deadly Dynasty

The deaths and murders covered in these 3 episodes have been covered before other real crime shows usually in one spisode. This was disappointing in the number of people who gave their opinions on what they think happened, with not much actual police giving their imput. After watching all 3 spisodes you still do not have a conclusion as the only person charged but not actually involved directly in all the muders is sitting in jail as he does not have the money to pay his bond, and has not gone to trail. Might havre had more impack if this not aired until the court cases had finished were finished as to what he is actually convicted of!

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.

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?

Netflix constantly keeps pumping out what could be a super interesting documentaries but instead it constantly drags them out way too long.

They started this show with a high pace spoiler of what's going to happen, why?! For those that don't know the story it's just ruined half the twists and turns the story will take...

Then the whole first episode, it spends the next 40 minutes going over exactly what it just told us happened, but now much slower...

This had some interesting bits (as someone that didn't know anything about the story), but I just wish Netflix could sort out the pacing of their documentaries and move things along a bit quicker... I watched a YouTube video on the same thing afterwards and it was more interesting and engaging and got all the info in (and more) in 1 30 minute video...

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.
