The stuff of thrillers that you would come out of a movie theatre and say how unbelievable.
Alex Murdaugh seems somehow responsible for the deaths of Stephen Smith and Gloria Satterfield. Paul Murdaugh is responsible for a boating accident that resulted in the death of Mallory Beach. Alex Murdaugh kills his wife and son Paul, then tries to frame his cousin by staging a roadside shooting of himself.
I recommend this short series. Netflix has a tendency to run things longer than they should be, but this was efficiently made.
The only comment I would make, and this has been brought up by other reviewers, is the drunken state of all six kids that got on the boat the night Mallory died. Obviously Paul was driving, and Paul crashed the boat, but the state of all the kids that night speaks volumes. Paul had the toys and Paul had the money. He didn't seem like the most likeable person, but money makes up for that. Was it peer pressure that made the five kids get into Paul's boat? Were they so drunk that they didn't see the risk? They must all be living with massive guilt knowing that they could have saved a life by refusing to get into that boat that night. They are lucky that all of them didn't die.
