A heartbreaking narrative was reviewed in the postMurdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal Review, which first appeared on Ready Steady Cut.
Review of the February 22, 2023 release of the true-crime Netflix series Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal.
Real crime enthusiasts come together as Netflix’s three-part docuseries Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal delves deep into the Murdaugh Family.
Up until the death of a youngster in a boating accident, the Murdaughs were South Carolina’s most recognised family. First-person recollections of what transpired that evening are given in the series, which also features an interview with Paul Murdaugh’s former lover Morgan Doughty.
Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal Review and Plot summary
I had no prior knowledge of the Murdaugh family’s history or the events of the night that resulted in Maggie and Paul’s deaths when I started watching this three-part docuseries. So, the first episode goes in-depth on Paul’s history, including who he was, how he came to be who he was, and where his enormous, larger-than-life character originated. For those who are aware, you are getting the first-hand narrative from those who were part of it all for the first time. I enjoyed the layout here since, for people like me, we are getting the complete behind-the-scenes look.
Even though every narrative has two sides, we have all lived long enough to see how they develop. Because Paul Murdaugh came from an affluent family, his ability to simply escape punishment after the disaster played a significant role. Paul had the accusations against him dropped despite the fact that witnesses claimed he was in charge of the boat.
As we learn that Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were shot and killed on the Murdaugh family estate, the plot takes an unexpected turn. It was horrifying and upsetting to hear Alex phone 911 to report finding his wife and kids. Surprisingly, this wasn’t the story’s final turn.

Docuseries typically go on for far too long with excessively many episodes, but having three parts was ideal. You can see how the door is left open for even more pieces of this story in the future now that Alex is on trial for the deaths of Maggie and Paul. The combination of the interviews and reenactments in this editing was superb. The tense atmosphere was felt despite the reenactments not being particularly theatrical.
Is Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal Worth Watching?
100% yes. This series’ premise may not be entirely original to you. But, you might have different viewpoints on the events that took place during the past few years after hearing the firsthand accounts from those who experienced them.
I had never heard of this story before, and after viewing, I found myself doing a tonne of research because I was so interested in learning more.
Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal, as a whole, is a superbly written crime series that sheds light on these dramatic and genuinely terrifying periods in these people’s lives.
