Sins of the South

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!
