Buried in the Backyard - Mord verjährt nicht

It's funny that so many people here have complained about the narrator. I loved her voice and thought it fit the theme of the show perfectly. Her voice as the common thread through each story separated Buried in the Backyard from the million other murder shows out there. I found her to be clear and expressive without being silly, conveying both the highs and lows of the subjects' lives. The new season (6) uses no narrator - it's much harder to follow, doesn't paint as clear a picture of the people involved, and has lost the relatability that made the stories so compelling. Now it's just another murder show.

Whilst the true life murder story about Lisa was very sad and the family seemed crushed, it was all upstaged by the dreadful narrator. Why on earth would the director hire a woman who sounded like she was a children's story teller. It was soooo off putting. They kept repeating the story after each ad break, I lost my will to live. !!

The show is interesting but the narrator kills it. She's horrible. She doesn't fit the feel of the show and is way past her depth. I'm not sure if the show requested she read the way she does but man is it bad. The worst part is that whether her voice actually fits for this style of documentary is really irrelevant when she is reading so poorly. Sometimes she sounds like a robot, but most of the time, she sounds like she's narrating an HGTV show. This show is about murder...obviously narrating in a chipper way is definitely not the way to do it.

Again, I don't know if the producers asked for her to read it that way, but I can't help but believe that this is entirely her decision. And it's a bad one.

Due to the horrible narration and the disjointed story line .. this program which should have been terrific is awful.. that's the kindest choice of words I can use to describe this .. yawn . .. show. I have never be subjected to a barrage of disjointed and idiotic interviews.. fini!

Bad narration & ridiculous depictions of supposedly real crimes/ real peoole. People who, in real life are morbidly obese & ugly are played by attractive models. After watching 6 or 7 very badly directed episodes, I stopped taping & deleted all unwatched episodes from my DVR list. Don't waste your time on this series., it's a loser.
