Murdough, hey. Or hey?

The rumors are turning the creator of “The White Lotus” Mike White, based in the dysfunctional Ratliff’s clan for a nefarious patriarch that is an educated financial one at the University of Duke in North Carolina in the third Murdugh and Murdugh and Murdugh and Murdug family and murdered condemned.

In March 2023, Murdough, the rod of a legal dynasty of blue blood, declared guilty of fatally shooting his wife Maggie, 52, and his son Paul, 22, in the rural property of the family in Hartton County, SC, two years before.

Possible Garnerlo Sympathy.

This season’s “white lotus” fans think that the plot that surrounds the Ratliff family can be inspired by Alex Murdough, who was convicted of shooting his wife and son in 2023. Here Tim Ratliff, the venom of Jason Isaac placed in a blender by his father. HBO

In the HBO show, Tim Ratliff (played by Jason Isaacs) learns as soon as he and the family arrive at White Lotus Resort in Thailand, the federals are in what is apparently a scheme of money and shaded bribes.

Ratliff discovers that a journalist from the Wall Street Journal is asking questions, and it is soon clear that his financial crimes will be exposed and the family almost surely faces ruin.

Worse, he doubts his spoiled wife Southern Belle Victoria, played by Parker Posey, and his three children can handle the news and, as he panicked, begins to take the pills of his wife’s Lorazepam. The murders of the family).

In fact, both Victoria and his Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) mention that they never live without money and family success.

Ratliff suddenly first to shoot them, then get them all apart from their youngest son, before reaching their senses in the dramatic climax of the program.

“He had read stories about this aristocratic type that killed his whole family who had a leg blowing his money and did not have the guts to tell them,” White told The Hollywood Reporter about his inspiration for the Ratliffs.

The creator of White Lotus, Mike White, said that his inspiration for the Ratliff family was how he had “read stories about this aristocratic type that killed his whole family because he had a leg blowing his money and guts to tell them”, “Murdoughs. CHRIS PIZZELLO/INVISION/AP

“The way Timothy’s family sees it is so crucial for its sense of itself, so when it is at risk, I would prefer to burn the entire house to face music.”

Murdough is currently languishing in the state prison, hero in a safe unit away from the general population, where he has been practicing his chess movements, according to NBC, and waiting for the result of an appeal of his sentence. The only remotear member of his immediate family, his son of Call by Llama Buster, is currently demanding Netflix for defamation on how he was portrayed in a documentary.

Some directors of the Murdough saga said they had never considered that White could have preceded the case, which has become an international sensation and has generated an artisanal industry of books and television documentaries.

“Surface, there could be some similarities,” he told The Post Dick Harpootlian, a colorful main lawyer and former president of the South Carolina Democratic Party.

Harpootlian, who saw each episode of the last season of “The White Lotus”, is a fan of the program, but also a difficult critic.

“Mother and father [in the show] I went to Duke and Chapel Hill [colleges]”Harpootlian said.” Alex and Maggie went to the University of South Carolina. It is a different environment. The actor had more accent of Tidewater Virginia. Parker Posey? I’m not sure what the accent was. I grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and spent a lot of time in Chapel Hill and never listened to that accent. “

Much has been made of Parker Posey possey of Mississippi-Born, with some approach, while others have failed it. Posey herself has said that Bravo’s reality show “Southern Charm” helped inspire his delivery.

Joe Mculloch, another Columbia lawyer, SC, who originally represented one of the victims of a fatal boat accident fell by the deceased Paul Murdah, has known Alex for years.

“In retrospect, I can see that Murdough’s case could inspire a truly fertile mind in the script business to make a variation on the subject,” McCullough told The Post, after admitting that he saw the entire program but did not connect as much as possible.

“The type of sweaty bullets for everything he has done, his family faced ruin, so suddenly he his murders, but the chickens come out,” McCullough said.

“Alex did not, but he and the type of the series showed the same lack of concern about the impact that his misconduct did not have. I never saw any repentance of genuine or genuine self -entry with Alex.”

In general, Harpootlian, fan of “The White Lotus”, but has a bone to choose from this year’s program.

“In case Mike White, reading this, let him know that the end this season is stinking.”
