True crime fans have a new documentary to add to their watch lists, and Hulu subscribers are already making it clear that Welcome to the Family: The Murder of Dan Markel is worth watching. The four-part series, which premiered on Hulu this month, covers the 2014 murder of Florida law professor Dan Markel and all of the shocking family drama that came with the case.
Markel’s murder was one of Florida’s most closely followed true crime cases. The Hulu series takes viewers inside the investigation and the relationships surrounding Markel’s death, including the contentious custody battle involving his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson. It was eventually revealed that the case was connected to murder-for-hire plot involving members of Adelson’s family. And if you think that sounds like it makes for engaging television, reviews indicate that you’re right.
