Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an approval rating of 78% based on nine reviews and an average rating of 6.4/10.[3]
Brian Lowry of CNN stated that the show "has a slapdash feel from beginning to end, and finds the younger contingent, especially, to be poor narrators of what transpired."[4]
Polly Conway of Common Sense Media rated the series three out of five stars, calling it "a compelling watch."[5] Kayla Cobb of Decider described the series as "a somewhat concise guide to the murder charges around Alex Murdaugh", but noted that "there are better options out there."[6]
