I feel like a lot of the bad reviews on here are by people who know the Murdaughs which is making me giggle. How sad. Anyway my thoughts on the documentary: I watched this after seeing the outcome of the trial. I knew a little bit about the boat incident but I like how in depth they went into it. It broke my heart. It also broke my heart seeing Paul's ex talk about her experience with him as I had a similar experience with my first serious boyfriend. They made me feel terrified and like I was actually at the boat scene. I liked that they went into detail about the Murdaughs. The police not wanting to comment on anything is solely due to the fact they let this family get away with so much crap over the years, it's disgusting. I had no idea about the other deaths of Stephen and Gloria so that was interesting to hear about, I feel like a bit longer could have been spent on stephen's because his was a definite murder. Very happy with the outcome of the murder trial. Reminds me of John List a bit.

Got Netflix just to watch the documentary. It seems the Netflix documentary puts two whole episodes on the boat incident and hardly anything on the LGBT boy. Typical Netflix homophobia. As expected. They both open the exact same, with the Mallory boating incident, but the HBO documentary goes on to talk about the history of the family including some deep genealogy images showing the reach of the family. Netflix skips all that to give another two full hours, two full episodes to say what the HBO documentary said in one hour. This is deliberate as we know the agenda of Netflix is anti-LGBTQ programming. It's sad really. Barely 20 mins was given to the LGBT boy hit and killed in the road and if you blinked you wouldn't even have known the housekeeper was killed. Netflix is sad and it's only getting worse. HBO is still far superior.

After watching multiple documentaries, special news reports, etc. On the lives of the Murdaughs, a southern institution of a family, I was very pleased to find this docuseries actually gives more screen time to Mallory Beach, the REAL victim, and not to the insane, evil murdaugh family and their conspiracies. (Although the audience is given information that I've never heard before on the specifics of their swift and direct interruption of the investigation.... facts provided unbiased from the kids on the boat and their parents, who must finally feel unthreatened to speak openly.) This was more of a tribute to Mallory, a testament to her as a person, as well as recognizing the pain all of the kids endured, versus a shockumentary on how unabashedly despicable the Murdaugh clan ruled over the innocent community for a century. Yes, there is focus on the other deaths and events involving the murdaughs specifically, but FINALLY the audience gets to know the reality and loss of this teenager, as a human being. That is what is missing in so many true crime documentaries. The focus is on the perpetrator, rarely on the victims.

When people complin about those with privilege, these are the people they are talking about. Unfortunately, because race always seems to be an issue in America, we all get drawn into the lie that these people represent all white people. They don't. Not even close. I found the first part of this series very difficult to get through, because as a working class, conservative white man, I despise everything these people stand for. Even the friends, who are interviewed in a way that tries to make them sympathetic, are just gross. Who is buying these punks their alcohol? Who is supplying them with trucks, guns and boats? Their idiot parents, that's who. Idiot parents raising more idiots that the rest of society gets pushed around and bullied by. The Homecoming Kings and Queens that make us all want to vomit, with their fake hair, fake tans and designer brands. I need to go take a shower after watching this. Netflix, I'm upset you gave any of these people airtime. Blech.
