I am such a fan of the original show - I have watched the episodes over and over. Peter Thomas' narration was awesome and so soothing to listen to.
The new episodes do a surprisingly reasonable job of continuing the FF legacy in all areas except the narration. Bill Camp is not terrible but HLN really could have done a MUCH better job in finding someone better to replace Peter Thomas. Until they address this, the updated show will never become the classic/beloved show that the original one is. Sorry Bill but you and your cold, stilted narration needs to go!

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 👍
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.
EDIT: I was probably too hard on Bill Camps narration. After a few more shows I realized I was comparing him too much to Peter Thomas. Camp is alright and he'll get better. This is a THE forensic science show just as it always has been.
I loved Forensic Files when Peter Thomas narrated it and still do and I was really looking forward to Forensic Files II only to be massively disappointed by the campy voice of Bill Camp. You can just picture him holding one hand over his ear talking into a large diaphragm microphone wearing a scarf with a feature in his hat. It's as if he thinks he's got "THE" voice.
Camp does NOT have the voice and pales in comparison to Peter Thomas's quality and moving narration. Camp would be better suited reading children's books to preschoolers somewhere far from a microphone!
Other narrators also damaged the original FF once Peter Thomas passed but none were as bad as Bill Camp
Otherwise the show is great in terms of content, they just need to fix it by finding someone who can actually talk like an adult to adults interested in forensic science
