Totally agree about BD. Everyone around me wanted to love the show, but the narration completely ruined it. 9 of us all had the same impression. It gets in the way. It made some people feel like they weren't "in" on the story. Making your audience feel dumb isn't a way to increase enjoyment. After their show, we were musing on what the French guy was saying. Most of our theories were not flattering. If I watched the same show again with no narration I'd be a fan. but, as it stands, it just gets in the way.
