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.

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!

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.
