Buried in the Backyard

The show is interesting but the narrator kills it. She's horrible. She doesn't fit the feel of the show and is way past her depth. I'm not sure if the show requested she read the way she does but man is it bad. The worst part is that whether her voice actually fits for this style of documentary is really irrelevant when she is reading so poorly. Sometimes she sounds like a robot, but most of the time, she sounds like she's narrating an HGTV show. This show is about murder...obviously narrating in a chipper way is definitely not the way to do it.

Again, I don't know if the producers asked for her to read it that way, but I can't help but believe that this is entirely her decision. And it's a bad one.

I just watched an episode of this totally far fetched show. A white woman goes missing....within minutes police were on the case, searching everywhere. Apparently the police found the partner to be "Believable", so, because they found him to be believable, there was then "no need to investigate him." Until a psychic made this amazing prediction that she was suffocated with a plastic bag. NOW CHECK THIS : The coroner examines skeletal remains several years old (like very little tissue, if any at all remaining). But they are magically able to determine the cause of death to be asphyxia. And the police said they were pretty sure it was a plastic bag over the head ??? WTF ??? How can you tell the difference between how someones nose and mouth have been denied oxygen from a corpse several years old ??? OK If a neck bone is broken, it signifies strangulation, but this is just too far beyond belief.

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. !!

The narrator is either a very good robot or a very bad actor. No, take it back. Not even a good robot.

There's a really creepy vibe I got after a few episodes that I've never felt while watching any other real-life crime-solving tv show, and/or years of UNSOLVED MYSTERIES, and that's that there could be a body buried in MY back yard.

I appreciate the interviewing of the family, friends, law enforcement and others involved, including detailed photos and histories. This show is well-done, respectful, and I hope has many more seasons ahead.

Now, what button do I need to push to change the narrator from "computer voice" to "human being"?
