    Academy Award winner and Executive Producer Patricia Arquette explores the emotional and societal gravity of portraying 'Maggie Murdaugh' with journalist Mandy Matney. Arquette and Matney dive deep into the significance of the series' depiction of a woman caught in a tangled web of emotional abuse and coercive control — someone who devoted herself to family, even as her world crumbled around her. Together, they unpack the psychology of Alex Murdaugh’s manipulation, the dynamics of narcissistic relationships, and the haunting question: why do people stay when love turns dangerous?   Tune in to examine how empathy and pain coexist within cycles of control. Arquette shares her research into personality disorders and how she aimed to give Maggie a voice — not as a supporting character in her husband’s crimes, but as a fully realized woman whose choices reflected love, fear, and the quiet courage of a woman overshadowed by her husband’s deadly chaos.
