Summary

Alex Murdaugh grew up believing he was untouchable. Four generations of family power made sure of it.

From 1920 to 2006, the Murdaughs controlled prosecution in five South Carolina counties. They decided who faced justice and who didn't. They built a dynasty on the belief that their family was different, protected, above the law.

And then Alex murdered his wife and son.

Part 1 of "The Name" examines the generational machinery behind the Murdaugh case. Not just what Alex did — but how the family system created someone capable of doing it.

If you've ever felt trapped by what your family expected you to be, this episode will resonate. The Murdaughs are extreme. The dynamics are universal.
