Heartland Homicide

I can't stand this woman. Her voice is grating. She has that inflection at the end of her sentences where she seems to be asking questions and then sounds like she's putting off a little growl. She absolutely does not bring a thing to the show except extreme annoyance. And her mouth seems to have a life of its own, in fact, it seems that her mouth swallows her face! The show itself isn't bad but PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, pick better experts. As one other reviewer noted, Benji has a nasal voice, makes unnecessary comments and basically makes ME want to commit murder in the heartland. Please if this show renews (and I'm hoping it does), please omit Benji. If you've got to have a legal expert, please hire someone else. Do better vetting.

If there's ever a series two of this show (which I enjoy), please please oh please get rid of Benji Greenberg! Her speech and voice-especially that vocal fry-is just so annoying that it detracts from the story being presented. There are, I'm sure, plenty other lawyers who can do what she's doing. Otherwise, the show is fairly and clearly depicted. And I really like that it's mainly small towns and not metropolises. (And almost every town's inhabitant who's been interviewed has said, "things like this don't happen here." Sadly, they've been wrong. I do hope there are more shows, just not with that attorney.

The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate. My mother taught me to speak from the diaphragm. Nasal speech is a form of childhood whining. The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate.

I didn't need to use a lot of words.

Stories are pretty interesting. Narrator has great voice but seems to wish to create suspense - but it doesn't work. Repetitive information and annoying music do not help. I agree the legal expert's nasal accent is "unique" to say the least. In Season 1 episode 8 - Summer Inman - in the initial introduction they say the town Logan is in Michigan. One minute later they say the town Logan is in Ohio. How can an editor miss that error? I have seen other inconsistencies but not as flagrant. I hope to get through all episodes. One good thing - at least I haven't noticed U. S. bashing which is the norm from many Canadians. Thank you!

The one positive about this series is that they present interesting cases. Other than that, the show is not good. (1) It is very, very slow and extremely repetitive - they repeat the same points over and over again. (2) The information presented is not always accurate. For example, in one episode they show a person using a hammer to commit a murder, and repeat this "fact" over and over again. However, upon checking the case court records, I found that there was no hammer used - it was a pipe. I think they put the hammer in for effect, which is lame. Nobody wants to have to check facts when watching a true crime series. (3) The reenactments are also very poor (bad direction, bad "actors", bad in general). And, last but not least: Benji Greenberg (the legal expert) and her voice/manner of speaking have to go. Her vocal fry is so annoying that it absolutely ruins anything positive about the show. I found myself dreading her appearance in each of the episodes I watched (five in total). This is the reason I ultimately stopped watching the show. I would voluntarily listen to fingernails dragged over a chalkboard for a year straight before I listen to one more second of her voice. Think Donald Duck with structured vocal fry and you have hit the bullseye - yes, it is that bad.
