Richard Ferguson The Australian 08/15/2023
Markella Kavenaugh is simply malevolent as the vicious bully by whom McKinnon is tormented as a girl and by whom she is seduced as a woman. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 03/01/2023
3/5
It gives a strong sense of this corner of South Carolina, a world of oyster roasts and hunting trips and small-town gossip. But, without wishing to give away the ending, it reaches no conclusions. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 02/25/2023
3/4
Even if you’ve seen the series and you’ve been following the current trial of Alex Murdaugh on charges of killing his wife and son, the story is so incredible, so bizarre and so chilling that the Netflix doc makes for a compelling viewing experience. Go to Full Review Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic 03/22/2023
Compelling real life murder mystery where no one has peace.  Mallory, Gloria and Stephen are still without their loved ones all due to the selfish, irreversible acts of a man with no conscious and a love of status that surpassed his love of family. Go to Full Review Polly Conway Common Sense Media 03/01/2023
3/5
Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal is disturbing and sad, and as it unfolds, it presents an unflinching look at a misuse of power and what looks a whole lot like pure evil. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 03/01/2023

Claudia O @caia_90 Dec 18 A small town where lawyers can get away with anything just because they are a well-known family. A lot of suspicions and coincidences. Its great to watch as it touches on many points of society. See more Kid R. @Philadelphiagoosebumpsfan Jun 26 This some crazy stuff See more Chadd J 01/17/2024 Whoever said documentaries are boring did not watch this. My eyes were glued to the screen the whole season. See more Michael W 09/24/2023 Not the most gripping true-crime series available on Netflix. The accounts feel less mature or reliable See more Farah R @Farah 08/17/2023 An engrossing and enjoyable documentary that paints a genuine picture of the lives and relationships of those involved. See more Brian D @Brianwd 04/05/2023 83%. First half of the series focuses on the youngest son who gets hammered and kills one of the girls then things expand to looking broader at the history of the whole family. The dad kills his wife and the son who kills the girl. Pretty crazy story. Good doc See more Read all reviews
