Sins of the South

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!

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!!

I'm a true crime junkie. Absolutely love these kinds of shows and I was so looking forward to this one as a Georgia native. My whole family was. But that narrator. Lord help. The overdone, clearly fake accent is offensive and the reason I won't be watching this show again. Why would the producers/Wolf Entertainment think it was a good idea to get someone who isn't a true southerner to narrate? There's so many great southerner actors out there. Heck, if y'all need someone who actually speaks with a southern accent, give me a call. I've been told I read well and have a great voice for voice work.

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.

Please get rid of this narrator. I will gladly volunteer for the job because ANYTHING has to be better than listening to something so fake and annoying. I can't even watch the second episode knowing that I'd have to hear that voice again. If someone can advise me if and when the narrator changes, then I'll watch again. Don't you show a preview to an audience and get feedback? I can't believe a panel would agree with this being a good voice over. I doubt even .1% of the women from the south can even tolerate listening to this. The voice takes away from this being a crime show and makes it feel like a dull headache.
