COLUMBIA, S.C. — The HBO miniseries on the Murdaugh murders, “Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty,” was released on HBO Max Thursday, and it’s the most recent addition to the Southern Gothic saga that has gripped South Carolina.
The three episode miniseries features archival footage, reenactments and sweeping drone shots of marshes and the site of the murders, as well as gripping interviews with people intimately connected to the crimes, including attorneys, journalists and Lowcountry residents.
The first thing to know is that you shouldn’t expect the show to solve the murders. But each of the episodes, which clock in around 50 minutes apiece, are packed with all of the twists and swirling allegations that have defined the Murdaugh case.
