Murdaugh Murders: Deadly Dynasty

Why do people feel the need to post the end result before someone has watched it? Maybe they don't get what a review is supposed to be. There's even an option after typing their review to say if it contains a spoiler. Some people have no regard for others. You're reviewing the programme not the case.

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...

I liked how this docuseries was produced, in that the episodes keep you hooked and the visual accompaniments were realistic. I didn't know much about this pocket of true crime, either, and was more invested in everything AFTER the boat accident rather than during/before. Having accounts from the victims was also compelling, but confused me at times since names and relations weren't always shown.

Overall, I think this series is a nice time-killer, and isn't too dark to be a casual watch with other true crime junkies. I'm not sure if this will get a continuation, though, so updates to this case might end up coming from other series and sources.

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 is so drawn out, filled with pointless familial tidbits, nonsense, and weird accusations and diagnoses from people with no business casting aspersions on others without looking seriously within themselves.

Most annoying is the kids in this- no longer children but certainly trying to look as innocent as possible- so much of this is dumb teen behavior (drinking to excess, behaving badly) and while they're all in the same group of friends and all behaving incredibly poorly, somehow it's all Paul and his issues and the rest are all innocent victims of Paul's behavior? I'm quite certain Paul wasn't forcing anyone to imbibe, board the boat/get in the vehicle/participate in stupid behavior, but none of these people were able to say no and walk away. Why? We don't know because nobody will acknowledge the obvious, and money apparently causes you to overlook irresponsible behavior, stupidity and insane amounts of alcohol.

Regardless of Paul's inability to hear the word 'no', absolutely no one forced any of these people to indulge time after time after time, and they were certainly capable of turning around, walking away, and cutting ties to someone with zero ability to be accountable to anyone else. Had no one gotten into the boat and stayed at the bars (which they were obviously far too young to be in) I'm quite sure a parent would have come to their rescue. But again, money makes these people overlook the most obnoxious behavior, throw all caution aside, and 'ALL ABOARD!!', we're subjected to listening to a lot of insufferable excuses for pretending these people weren't responsible for their poor choices and the death of a friend.

Make no mistake that the Murdoch family is a reprehensible amalgamation of privilege and abhorrent behavior gone unchecked, but people don't get to that position in life without many others looking away, making excuses, and going along for the ride because as long as they're on the right side, it's a fun ride!

Stop making this nonsense, we've had enough of every single one of these people standing there with a hand out to profit off their poor life choices.
