Spycraft

I absolutely cannot tolerate the narrator. He mispronounces everything, will say the same word three different ways. Why didn't anyone edit this more carefully? It's an interesting shoe but comes across very unprofessional because of the narrator.

Fascinating content and experts. Really well done screen graphics, except not enough time to read definitions. Narration is terrible! He mispronounces names and words, even directly after an expert has pronounced them. He often emphasizes the wrong words, and often seems like he's ending a sentence, then says more words. Poor vocal quality, too.

If you've read any books on spies and espionage, then most of it is repetitive. It's one of those series that would have been fine with four or five episodes and not eight. The new technology in use was interesting, modern espionage is mostly technology from the agent to the agency heads. The one expert we see most of the time is Keith Melton a historian who is very good.

Like the others mentioned, the narration is poor. The narrator strains his voice, he didn't check pronunciation of words and names so it sometimes differs from the experts who are talking. And it was apparent that he didn't practice to get the correct intonation. Narration is a big part of the series and a poor narrator ruins the viewing.

... I cannot sleep without having joined in with the chorus of complainers. I hope that Dylan Berry (as listed in the credits) is never employed again, after having worked on this series. To be unable to properly pronounce words, and/or names, is just ridiculous. He is definitely "out of his league".

However, to be totally fair, the Production team should also be cited, for their complete lack of oversight. The lack of intelligent narration should have been caught, and corrected, before this series ever hit the air. It's complete sloppiness that this didn't happen.

The content was interesting, but the narration just continuously drove me crazy. I was cringing on a regular basis, instead of absorbing the programming.

Some interesting content let down by the narrator sounding like he can't be bothered and the captions that give facts on terminology flash up so fast, you only get to read the first line without pausing the program.
