Overview
- The legal team for Alex Murdaugh says the Hulu series contains "numerous inaccuracies" and misrepresents his relationships, urging viewers to treat it as dramatization.
- The attorneys also claim neither Murdaugh, his son Buster, nor family counsel were contacted by producers to verify facts or provide their perspective.
- The eight-episode series, created by Michael D. Fuller and Erin Lee Carr and adapted from Mandy Matney’s podcast, is releasing weekly on Hulu through November 19.
- Creators and cast have described handling sensitive material with care, and interviews explain deliberate choices in how the 2021 killings are depicted without detailing specific scenes.
- Critics note the show’s opening disclaimer about fictionalization and have raised concerns over melodrama, factual reordering, and glossy casting, even as interest in the case remains high.
