Forensic Files II

Contrary to what some people are saying, the narration isn't a problem at all, just ignore the naysayers.

The problem is the content itself. While the original show, in the iconic voice of Peter Thomas, "made forensic history", the new one doesn't do much to surprise an informed crime buff who is not living under a rock. Most of the cases are solved by tenacious police work, and the advancement of science, specifically DNA. In other words, the time elapsed is the primary reason these cases have been solved.

One amusing fact, most of the cases involve gun violence and all of the victims would still be alive if not for the gun lobby.

R. I. P., Peter Thomas. Peter Thomas was a superior narrator. That being said, I HATE FF2. It is Horrific! I tolerated barely 20 minutes of an FF2 episode. What made the original so special was that it was pre- DNA, CODIS. The case were solved without current computer technology. The archival enhanced everything. FF2 is a Joke. The narrator sounds like he has a SPEECH IN PEDIMENT. There are so many factors about FF2 that I am disappointed with that it would take a lifetime to list them here. I am only watching the Original FF.!! That's it. That's all!!! Hail to the Original Show 👍

This is not meant to insult the new narrator, but it's not the same without Peter Thomas. His voice was so smooth, and his style so recognizable. The new narrator simply lacks that "something", making watching this new version a bit strained and simply not as enjoyable. While the true crime stories are still interesting, what really made this show special was the voice of Peter Thomas. In my opinion, Mr. Thomas, along with Gene Galusha from "The New Detectives", and Bill Kurtis from "American Justice" and "Cold Case Files" are the absolute BEST true crime narrator's. They each possessed a unique voice that just brings the story they are telling alive. I just think that the producer's of FF2 should have tried to find a narrator with at least a similar vocal inflection and style as close as possible to Peter Thomas.

It takes from the show listening to his voice! I'm so annoyed I can't follow the plot. Sounds like he just smoked a joint!

Ruining the show! Interview new people!

Peter Thomas is Dead. So he can't narrating from the the grave people. I read a lot of the reviews and I saw that people are not aware about that. It was different in the beginning without him but it's getting better and I am used to the the new narrator. I like it and I am still learning a lot of forensic techniques that is very impressive! I am glad that the show is back and I can see new cases! Thank you HLM for bringing back with new cases. I always like the format of the show because it tells the story in 30 min and it's not dragging.
