It is not too shocking to see a new true crime show at the top of Netflix's most-watched list. Over the past few years, Netflix has developed a reputation as the home of true crime documentaries like The Murder of Murdour: A Scandal in the South

The documentary's first season debuted on Netflix in February and shot to the top of the viewing charts. And the latest chapter in this brutal tale seems to have been equally well received by Netflix subscribers desperate to satisfy their true crime obsession.

But if you're starting to burn out on true crime, or just want to be a little more selective about the genre's oversaturated offerings, what about "Murder on Mardu: A Southern Scandal" Season 2: Is it worth streaming? Or is it safe to skip it? To answer that question, let's get right down to it.

The Murder of Murdo: A Southern Scandal follows a series of shocking tragedies that shattered a tight-knit South Carolina community. At the center of these horrific crimes was the powerful Murdaugh family, particularly Alex Murdaugh, who was accused of multiple murders and made national headlines.

The first season of the show will explore the murders themselves and look at how the detectives came to the conclusion that Alex was the killer. Part 2, just released, focuses on Alex's trial, where new evidence is uncovered and shocking secrets are revealed in court. It's a twisty tale that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Murdaugh Murders Season 2 was released on Netflix last week (September 20), and to date has not received enough reviews to earn a Rotten Tomatoes score. However, the audience score is quite high at 71%. Of course, this current total is based on less than 50 ratings, and could change in the coming weeks as more viewers finish watching and rating the season.

RT currently has three reviews, all of which are favorable. Nick Shager's article in The Daily Beast points out that there is definitely enough material to warrant a possible third season. For all the interesting material offered here, recent headlines make this nonfiction more of a sequel than a finale."

Looking back at the show's first season, it received a high score of 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the audience score was average at 68%, suggesting that perhaps some Netflix subscribers did not enjoy the first part of this extraordinary true crime documentary as much as the critics.

The decision to skip or stream Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal mostly depends on one's tolerance for true crime. It depends largely on your tolerance for true crime. If you find the exploration of the horrific acts humans can do to each other deeply fascinating, this series will have you hooked from the start. Furthermore, if you already enjoyed season one, it goes without saying that season two will be just as fascinating (and you may have already watched it).

Or, if you're looking for a fresh take on the true crime genre, there's nothing particularly new in Murder on Murdoch: A Southern Scandal Season 2, which is merely a true crime documentary, but one that many Netflix viewers want to watch now. It's clear that's exactly what many Netflix viewers want to see right now. After all, it has jumped to No. 1 in less than a week.
