Critical response

Variety's Aramide Tinubu called Murdaugh: Death in the Family an "engaging portrait of greed, cruelty and arrogance," complimenting the series for capturing "what is so compelling about this particular family and why, ultimately, they self-immolated." Tinubu highlighted the depiction of the Murdaughs' dysfunction, privilege, and criminal activity, praising Patricia Arquette's portrayal of Maggie Murdaugh, a woman "trapped in a life she thought she wanted." She appreciated the series for immersing viewers in the Murdaugh "ecosystem" and depicting the consequences of the family's abuse of wealth and influence. Tinubu further described the series as a "profoundly compelling character study" of a man whose long-standing authority collapses. Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter described Murdaugh: Death in the Family as "thoughtful without being terribly insightful," noting that the series largely remains within familiar territory over its eight episodes. She praised the performances of Jason Clarke, Patricia Arquette, and Johnny Berchtold, highlighting the series' ability to ground the family's actions in "recognizable humanity" while avoiding sensationalism. Han criticized its narrow focus on the Murdaughs, observing that non-Murdaugh victims and those affected by the family's misconduct are largely reduced to "symbols." She added that the series underscores the limits of understanding the psychology behind tragic events, emphasizing the "violent external reality of the shootings rather than dwell[ing] on the twisted internal logic underlying them."
