Sins of the South

I would really like to enjoy this show but I just can't get past the narrator's fake Southern accent. Just detracts from the show. I watch just about every true crime series available and no matter what state the crimes occurred, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, etc, the narrator speaks normally and clearly. I feel like l'm at a proper Southern tea party and the hostess is "putting on airs. I've tried for the past few weeks to watch an entire episode but just can't. (Why do I need to have an exact number of characters to make a comment that can be submitted? I can say this all in fewer than 600 words.

I will not be watching the show, even though I love Dick Wolf's shows. I cannot handle listening to that phony, southern accent. I can't take it. I don't know why with all the wonderful voice actors out there they could not come up with a real southern accent that would be enticing instead of irritating as all get out. I am a dedicated fan of every Dick Wolf show, and I was looking forward to this one as well, but I will not be watching it if they continue to use that narrator. Honestly, I don't know what they are thinking by having this person involved in this show. If they change the narrator, I will continue to watch. Otherwise, it's adios for me.

Please make that narrator stop talking! I like the show but she makes me want to scream. Literally no one talks like that in the south. I would feel bad for her but she is so annoying and stupid sounding. She obviously watched Steel Magnolias way too many times. Why do shows with stories from the south have to have that kind of narration? Just be real and not so blatantly fake. The show is good but please please please get a new narrator. By the end of the show I'm so annoyed I usually don't even remember the episode. Anyway, keep up the great shows you put out. I always look forward to new shows and episodes.

I can not. I was so looking forward to the premiere of this show, but within the first few seconds I was horrified by the narration. In all of the world, WHY choose that narrator with the overdone FAKE southern accent?! It is unnecessary, condescending to those from the south, and detracts from the entire show!! I am fairly confident no one wants to hear that nonsense. Surely a qualified voice actor/actress with an authentic Southern accent could have been found, if that attribute was even needed?! I certainly do not think it was/is, and do not plan to watch and/or listen to this again. Cringe!!

The narrator with the fake Southern accent is AWFUL. She is the reason we won't continue to watch. I thought I was just being judgmental about her, then I started looking at all of the other reviews that have the same opinion.

The show itself is promising. We like shows that only use the actual folks involved in each case, versus a cast of characters who should choose a different line of work.

With Dick Wolf & company behind this new series, I would think they could've at least found a narrator with a real Southern accent, or no accent at all! I'd be happy with the Snapped narrator narrating all of the shows we watch!
