DREADFULLY, DISTRACTING NARRATING!!!!
Whilst the true life murder story about Lisa was very sad and the family seemed crushed, it was all upstaged by the dreadful narrator.
Why on earth would the director hire a woman who sounded like she was a children's story teller. It was soooo off putting.
They kept repeating the story after each ad break, I lost my will to live. !!
I Miss the Narrator
It's funny that so many people here have complained about the narrator. I loved her voice and thought it fit the theme of the show perfectly. Her voice as the common thread through each story separated Buried in the Backyard from the million other murder shows out there. I found her to be clear and expressive without being silly, conveying both the highs and lows of the subjects' lives. The new season (6) uses no narrator - it's much harder to follow, doesn't paint as clear a picture of the people involved, and has lost the relatability that made the stories so compelling. Now it's just another murder show.
Dark with great music, editing
It's obvious these are slightly smaller budgeted shows, but the interviews are well done and the editing is high level. My biggest gripes are the robotic, canned female narrator and the cheesy music over the "happy times" segments. Seems like the producers at Oxygen think their audience can't stomach darker music and darker imagery. But the true crime fans are much savvier now and used to dark content on HBO, Netflix etc. The reenactments are poorly directed, but they're well edited. The stories are generally good, but you can tell they're really pushing the "buried in the backyard" theme to crimes where nobody was buried in the backyard at all. The series has potential. Some episodes are better than others, definitely a much watch for true crime fans.
Slow moving & BORING
Bad narration & ridiculous depictions of supposedly real crimes/ real peoole. People who, in real life are morbidly obese & ugly are played by attractive models. After watching 6 or 7 very badly directed episodes, I stopped taping & deleted all unwatched episodes from my DVR list. Don't waste your time on this series., it's a loser.
Yawn.. and yawn again!
Due to the horrible narration and the disjointed story line .. this program which should have been terrific is awful.. that's the kindest choice of words I can use to describe this .. yawn . .. show. I have never be subjected to a barrage of disjointed and idiotic interviews.. fini!
