AND THANK YOU!!!! To everyone who’s been rating and watching, listening and leaving AMAZING REVIEWS for Murdaugh: Death in the Family AND the Murdaugh: Death in the Family Official Podcast!

That so many of you post heartfelt reviews for Murdaugh: Death in the Family on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes has been incredibly moving. Every single comment, rating, and share reminds us why we started this journey: to shine sunlight on corruption and keep the focus where it belongs — on the victims.

Here’s something most people don’t realize:

Positive audience reviews don’t just boost visibility — they influence how studios and networks choose what to fund next. When Hulu, Disney, and other partners see that audiences care about accurate, empathetic storytelling, they’re far more likely to invest in more projects that honor victims instead of glorifying criminals.

So if you haven’t yet, it would mean the world to me and our Luna Shark team if you’d take two minutes to leave a review:

Here’s what Jessica W said on IMDB…

”Having started this journey from the point where the Murdaugh Murders Podcast (now True Sunlight) was around episode 20, I feel that this series beautifully captures the deep emotions involved. Of course, some details are dramatized, but the overall feeling of how everything unfolded seems to be very well depicted. Jason Clarke’s portrayal of Alex Murdaugh is nothing short of remarkable-so much so that I believe he deserves an Emmy or Golden Globe. The entire cast does an incredible job; everyone shines brightly, especially Patricia Arquette. Their performances truly resonate.”

And what Kathy D. Said on Rotten Tomatoes…

“Personally I am on awards watch for Murdaugh: Death in the Family. A better source than Murdaugh Murders Podcast with Mandy and Liz cannot be found, I’ve listened to them all, so complete and thorough with focus always on the victims. The cast is breathtaking in their portrayals, Patricia Arquette, Jason Clarke, Johnny Berchtold, Brittany Snow, Kathleen Wilhoite, etc. This series hits the mark better than any other dramatization of this subject matter thus far.”

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping us turn sunlight into accountability and real change. Together, we’re proving that when we amplify truth, people listen.
