I have watched every episode of this show. It is a well-written crime show with a little comedy thrown in. However, after all this time, I feel I must complain about this woman's "southern" accent!! Living in the deep south, I can assure every watcher that we do NOT speak like she does. I'm not sure who does!! Certainly no one from Atlanta--which is the true melting pot of the English language. Not sure who her accent coach is, but I'm willing to bet the farm that person has not lived within 500 miles of Atlanta in years. I am almost to the point of watching the show in closed-caption so I will not have to hear how Kyra pronounces certain words! I can not figure out why the show and Kyra/Brenda continue to be nominated for Emmy awards. Maybe because it comes on in the summer when everything else is a rerun? It is good, but certainly not terrific. Some times I think I am watching a modern day version of Simon and Simon! (And one of those guys is from the south!!) A true southern accent can be heard when 'Bobby' speaks on CSI (he's the one who is the gun guy).
