What Is Lifetime’s Murdaugh Murders: The Movie About?
Lifetime has a very special two-part Ripped From The Headlines movie Called Murdaugh Murders: The Movie. What is this movie that stars Bill Pullman about? According to The Futon Critic, Alex Murdaugh was “found guilty in the double homicide of his wife, Maggie, and his son, Paul.”
Alex Murdaugh came from a century-old wealthy and powerful family. This well-connected family came from the South Carolina low country. The long-standing family had a lot of influence as they “oversaw the prosecution of all criminal cases in the state’s 14th circuit district.”
Despite being privileged, Alex Murdaugh had secrets. But, he needed to keep the family name pristine. However, that became difficult when Paul got into some major trouble.
Paul Murdaugh was involved in a boating accident. Tragically, a young girl died. This ordeal was what Maggie focused on. That is why she failed to see the troubles her husband was in. Alex Murdaugh was addicted to opioids. Worst of all, it made him do some very bad things to keep his habit going.
To pay for his habit, Alex started stealing insurance settlements. Moreover, he also needed to keep funding their life of luxury to keep up appearances.
However, everything stood still when Maggie and Paul were murdered. This alarmed the South Carolina folks. Surely, someone was out to destroy the Murdaugh family. But, just as suspicion is on Alex, he almost gets shot in the head.
However, the lies quickly started to catch up with him. Can he protect his family name, or has he gone too far?
