The second season of Netflix’s docuseries continues unraveling the wild true-crime story that’s still playing out in real time.
premiered this past February, Alex Murdaugh was in the midst of standing trial for the homicides of his wife Maggie and younger son Paul. Thus, by definition, its story was incomplete. Directors Michael Gasparro and Julia Willoughby’s three-part follow-up aims to rectify that situation, detailing the investigation into the double murders andthrough law enforcement videos, courtroom footage, and interviews with individuals directly involved in the case.
, with a distraught Alex surmising on the spot that perhaps this slaying was related to Paul’s prior boat-accident scandal—the idea being that unnamed parties who blamed Paul for Mallory’s death had come to exact revenge. Despite those implications, focus quickly shifted to Alex himself, and in particular, to his alibi for the evening in question.
Maggie and Paul were killed with two different firearms, neither of which were recovered, and Alex owned both types of guns . A brief cell phone video from earlier that day indicated that, between the evening and when police arrived, Alex had changed his clothes—something that, when pressed, he could not remember doing. More damning was a later video recovered from Paul’s phone from 8:44 p.m. in which, as he plays with Cash, both his motherfather can be heard speaking nearby.
Smith denies those allegations but never provides a satisfactory explanation for why he spent years depositing checks from Alex into one account and then writing checks to Alex for the exact same amounts.depicts him as a dubious component of this saga, if hazily; there’s no way to get a real beat on his actual relationship with Alex.
That’s most telling with regards to Murdaugh’s motive, which receives short shrift in this sophomore go-round. The “why” may not have been necessary for jurors to hold Alex responsible for his wife and son’s murders, but from a general storytelling perspective, the question remains relevant enough to deserve more than the fleeting treatment it receives in the final episode. Perhaps, however, that answer—and clarification on additional loose threads—is simply being held for a third season.
