Sins of the South

It's hard to actually rate the episode because the narrator's accent is excruciating, horribly, awfully BAD, bless her heart. One cannot seriously pay attention to the story.

My Granny is old, Deep South born and bred "in high cotton" and neither she nor any of her contemporaries, family, friends, strangers, absolutely no one in The South sounds that syrupy slow and stupid. Stop it - recast or voiceover... If nothing else, listen to the real folks interviewed, especially the women, and y'all will hear the difference and how insulting that narrator really is.

But please, y'all, whatever makes your ears hurt less, stop the stereotypical drawl...just STOP.

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.

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 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.

The show itself is a good true crime effort. The narrator in a fake Southern accents makes it seem as it the show is mocking the cases it covers. I almost turned it off immediately but decided to watch in spite of the narrator. Worst casting decision. Change the narrator and this may be a credible offering. I'm not sure why they didn't get a narrator who is actually from the Sourh or just anyone else. Suprising and disappointing casting choice from a production firm who has many successful previous and long running projects. Not up to par. So many other similiar crime shows and this does not reach the bar.
