Good Story But Bad Narration
radio-977662 March 2020
This episode has a good story that investigates the murder of a college student. It shows you the steps the investigators took to find evidence of who did it. The murderer was quite stupid and the cops figured it out pretty fast.

It's good that they have made new episodes, but the change they made in the series, overall, is VERY bad and it casts a pall over the ENTIRE new series of episodes.

NBC has the crime show "Dateline NBC", narrated by Keith Morrison, who either has as his natural voice or deliberately puts on as his narration voice an overly dramatic voice. Many (probably most) people find it to be irritating. Keith Morrison has been the object of ridicule on Saturday Night Live and other shows.

Unfortunately, the makers of Forensic Files II seem to think Keith Morrison's narration is something good and have sought to emulate it! That is a stunning and annoying development. Are they unaware that people dislike the way Keith Morrison speaks?

The man they have employed to narrate these new episodes seems to be imitating Keith Morrison in his intonation, cadence, and overly dramatic speech patterns. I am sure that plenty of people will find it to be annoying in the same way that many people have found Keith Morrison to be annoying.
