How many shows have there been about the Murdaugh?? I haven’t watched or read anything about this mess for a while so thought I’d watch this one. Wonder if Netflix was able to score more interviews than the other networks/streaming services?

Anyway, my main takeaway so far is damn Mallory Beach’s poor daddy is hot!!!

I thought the same exact thing, OP. When I saw there was one coming to Netflix, I thought, "I think I saw that one" only to realize that there's already one docuseries on HBO and one on Discovery+ and now one on Netflix.

I've had sufficient.

The whole family looks/looked like the name should have been Murder-Dough.

The live-streamed trial is sufficient daily drama and in progress - why watch chopped-up bits? Although this whole situation is so fascinating. I'd love to hear insights from locals/S Carolinians and such.

As always, the closed captioning is hilarious. I kid you not, there's a screenshot where the focus is on the defendant dirtbag, and the CC reads 'Motherfucker' --- !

Does the HBO one have as many interviews with the other kids from the boat and their parents? I don’t think I’ve seen interviews with the other kids (other than Anthony) before.

R10 R13 I don’t think I’ll ever forget Mallory’s boyfriend (Anthony?) saying to the police, “His name is Murdaugh. GOOD LUCK.” It was so sarcastic and heartbreaking at the same time and was such an incredible moment that foreshadowed this entire disaster.

It drives me crazy that not only does everyone pronounce “Murdaugh” differently, they also say “Alec” instead of Alex. Maybe it’s just the SC dialect..

I’m sick of this ugly ginger fuck. He’s guilty

Plus, I think he killed the housekeeper too for the money.

How did Alex kill the housekeeper without Maggie and Paul not knowing? I think his wife and kids were as shitty as him.

I discovered this case and its coverage only this past weekend. It's like an extended episode-on-steroids of my series favorite "Midsomer Murders."

New village: Midsomer Hampton.

I watched the HBO series after the Netflix series and they are essentially the same thing except for the Netflix show expanding on the boat crash.

The Netflix one gained some points for showing some shirtless footage from Mr. Beach when he was a young daddy.

R15 - I’m with you on the last name. At some point in the Netflix show Pa Murdaugh is asked if his name is Alexander and he replies, Yes, but I go by Alec.”

I read somewhere that the Netflix doc is a good intro for people who aren't deep into the case, and HBO is the best doc.

I dont know if Alex is guilty or not, but of course its sad that what happened to Mallory then Paul and his mother. Of course, if Paul was hot, it would be sadder.

The Netflix doc has more of the boat crash kids and family talking.

My biggest takeaway: When Paul was murdered, his ex-girlfriend told law enforcement: "Look at his daddy."

They had dated for three years. She'd gone on vacations with the family. For her to say that, is a huge red flag.

The red haired Murdaughs are so hideous. The only reason people hang around them and follow their every whim is they’re rich

Even Paul, who was cuter than Buster, looked like an ugly little troll. And, God, the clothes he wore!

I felt bad for Paul’s ex-girlfriend, who seemed like she hadn’t even begun to deal with the trauma of that abusive relationship and sticking with a guy who ended up killing her friend.

Maggie was such a cunt in that 911 call about the housekeeper. She was acting like the whole thing was an inconvenience to her and that she barely knew the woman who’d been working for them for almost 20 years.

Buster's smile is terrifying.

And I think at Paul's hearing, there was this painting of a horrifying looking man. I assume the artist was dumped in a river somewhere.
