Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Richard Ferguson The Australian 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. Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 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. Rated: 3/5 Mar 1, 2023 Full Review Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 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. Rated: 3/4 Feb 25, 2023 Full Review Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic 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. Mar 22, 2023 Full Review Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Polly Conway Common Sense Media 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. Rated: 3/5 Mar 1, 2023 Full Review Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Kayla Cobb Decider While Murdaugh Murders is a somewhat concise guide to the murder charges around Alex Murdaugh, there are better options out there.

Chadd J Whoever said documentaries are boring did not watch this. My eyes were glued to the screen the whole season. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Mundos I Documental o reality show? Muchas vueltas y no pasa nada en lugar de ir directos al punto con tan pocos capítulos, no valió la pena. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Michael W Not the most gripping true-crime series available on Netflix. The accounts feel less mature or reliable Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Farah R An engrossing and enjoyable documentary that paints a genuine picture of the lives and relationships of those involved. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/23 Full Review Martha C Buen documental pero que enseña lo loca que puede estar la gente. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Laura M I'm confused as to why this has a low audience score. This documentary series was one of the most riveting and exciting series that I've seen in a while. My family and I watched it together and there were a few moments when one might yell down to another family member saying "oh my g-d! oh my g-d! you'll never guess what just happened!" If you like true crime, this is must see. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
