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.
