The Murdaugh Case: Murder Documentaries Latest Sensation

How much true crime is enough? If we go by the cottage industry developed around the never-ending saga of Alex Murdaugh and his family, it’s never enough. A quick search on streaming services reveals three series, two documentaries, and a two-part dramatic adaptation with Bill Pullman in the lead role. If you binge all that, you will spend 14 hours and 42 minutes of your life. And chances are there might be more from where those came from, and the case moves forward through the judicial system or more evidence resurfaces. I would not be surprised if, in a few years, we get hit with “Murdaugh Murders: SCOTUS Showdown.”
