	Media	Author	Review
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"[2nd Season Review]: I found season 2 of 'Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal' to be stronger than the first season due to the interviews with those involved in the case (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"[2nd Season Review]: The 'why' may not have been necessary for jurors to hold Alex responsible for his wife and son’s murders, but from a general storytelling perspective, the question remains relevant enough to deserve more than the fleeting treatment it receives in the final episode"
		Ricky Valero Ready Steady Cut	"A perfectly constructed crime series that provides some insight into these dramatic and downright scary moments in these people’s lives. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"Gossipy documentary is criminally short of answers (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kayla Cobb Decider	"There are better options out there. If you’re looking to learn the most about this case as quickly as possible, 'Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty' on HBO is far superior"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"The story is so incredible, so bizarre and so chilling that the Netflix doc makes for a compelling viewing experience (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"It is a classic true crime production. While it’s one of the better, it might feel like it’s repeating what you already know, if you’ve watched other productions about the Murdaugh cases (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Chris Vognar Rolling Stone	"[It] should appeal most to viewers who haven't already been poring over the case, and to those who haven't already consumed some, or, heaven forbid, all of the previous documentary projects about the subject"
