Good, but absolutely awful mispronunciations

“This is a really good show is some ways, but two massive ways it’s really off putting. The narrators voice is borderline robotic merging with drama school dramatic, and the other issue is that every single Scandinavian name and place name is horribly mispronounced to the point that it’s now become now side hobby while listening to try to decipher what the word or name is that is being butchered. Sometimes it’s almost impossible to guess and I’m a native Swede bilingual in Swedish and English growing up very used to the other Nordic languages. If you do a show specifically about Nordic crimes which will have lots of Nordic place names and names in it, it wouldn’t hurt to just do the teensiest tiny bit of research into some basic pronunciation. They could have just had someone write it out phonetically for the narrator if they were struggling. I assume it’s a production decision, so possibly not the fault of the narrator but boy does it ruin the show.”

What kind of example is that?? If I were her parents, I would be in prison myself for homicide! Her poor...”Read full review »

“The content and detail is great but the delivery is annoying, I’m no expert but I suspect it is a computer program narrating- depressing if this is Artificial Intelligence taking over”
