Sins of the South

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.

Being from the south, I was looking forward to watching Sins of the South. Unfortunately, I had to turn the channel about 15 minutes into the show. That narrator's fake southern accent is one of the worst I've heard in a while. It's ridiculous! There are many different southern accents and they're all special. Hearing them is like music to my ears. I'm from NC & within our state, there are different southern accents. I can distinguish the different regional accents and I understand that a non native southerner may not be able to do that. However, of all the different regional accents, this fake southern narrator isn't capable of speaking any of them properly. Just hire a southern narrator or find a better trained voice actor.

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.

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.

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!!
