The series starts with the exploration of the death of a young woman named Mallory Madison Beach, who dies in a boating accident, where she's accompanied by her boyfriend and some friends. One of those on board was Paul Murdaugh, a young man from a wealthy family, a family that has links to numerous deaths.
I am genuinely the first person to criticise Netflix when they drag out a documentary series, and after episode one, I felt that vibe, however I was unaware of The Murdaugh story, and this time I'd suggest the format works, there are numerous shocking revelations.
Lots of powerful interviews, and just think these events are so fresh and raw for many of the people, one or two interviewees made me feel as though they were trying a bit too hard, perhaps I'm being unkind.
If you're unaware of the story, it's shocking, it's truly like a plot from an over the top thriller, you can't believe one family got away with so much for so long.
You'll be aware that money and power carry a lot of weight, if you have one you're laughing, if you have both you're practically bomb proof.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
8/10.
