Southern Fried Homicide (2013–2015)
2/10
Certainly Not Charming . . . .
4 June 2023
While some of the crimes in this series are suitable ones for true crime episodes, this series is actually quite offensive in the way the stories are told. There is a Southern "hostess" of sorts who narrates the stories, supposedly giving a "Southern" tone to them, that may be suitable for fiction stories, but certainly is not for actual homicide stories. What she says at times is truly offensive. Her Southern charm is not charming.

Even worse are all the dramatizations where actresses are behaving like caricatures of those they are portraying. Their actions, the looks on their faces, their smiles are all exaggerated. Who in the world is behind this series? I'm watching it on Discovery +. I've seen three episodes and doubt I can go on. Is there an episode about Billie Joe MacAllister jumping off the Tallahatchie Bridge?
