I admit I only watched this because I happened to see where the Murdaugh trial was being covered live on a YouTube channel. I had watched a half-hour of the trial itself and then sought some back story for it through this series.

It seems odd to run a show about a complex case like this before aspects of it come to trial. Didn’t it potentially muddy the water for jurors? I guess it wouldn’t be a factor if the justice system’s wheels didn’t grind so slowly in some cases.

The history did draw me in. The lure of scandal is hard to resist. I hope it is mostly accurate, for it does take sides... lees de rest.
