Without Sin viewers complain of 'mumbling' as they struggle to hear ITV drama
Without Sin fans were eager to tune into the second episode of the ITV drama on Tuesday, with protagonist Vicky McClure back on screens as grieving mother Stella Tomlinson.
Without Sin: Vicky McClure stars in trailer for ITV series
The second episode of Without Sin saw Stella (played by Vicky McClure) searching for answers over the murder of her teenage daughter, Maisy (Justine Moore).
While her ex-husband Paul Tomlinson (Perry Fitzpatrick) urged her to stop digging into the tragedy since the alleged killer was behind bars, Stella remained convinced something had been missed in the investigation.
Maisy's convicted murderer Charles Stone (Johnny Harris) requested to see Stella and insisted he was innocent, and as the episode continued, more secrets unravelled which led Stella to suspect people around her of the awful crime.
However, while the plot was thickening, some viewers of the ITV series were left distracted by sound problems they reported on social media.
Many said it seemed as though the actors were "mumbling" while others complained the background music was too loud.

Twitter user @Gemma42981517 penned: "Turn music off, can't hear dialogue #withoutsin."
@tonypony wrote: "#WithoutSin gosh ….too much mumbling …I don’t how people hard of hearing can hear this."
@Deew04 echoed this, adding: "Wish they'd talk up a bit... #WithoutSin."
"He doesn’t want who involved? Missed it #withoutsin," @Gemma42981517asked.
@SueSuzieq4 admitted: "#WithoutSin maybe it’s because I’m struggling to hear.. but I’m fast losing interest."
However, those who didn't seem as bothered by volume issues praised the drama, which landed on ITVx last year.
@Amy80115720 enthused: "@Vicky_McClure is so realistic, just decided she’s my fave female actress.
"She’s not obsessed with her image as other actresses can be. I have never seen her in a role in which she doesn’t give [100%] to becoming the character. And she’s so likeable #WithoutSin."
@iPoof added: "#WithoutSin is one of ITV's better dramas. Just watched the whole thing."
Vicky is best known for her iconic role on BBC favourite Line of Duty, and several other viewers applauded her performance in the new role.
With her character Stella willing to do whatever it takes to find out the truth about her daughter's death, will she be able to find the answers she's so desperate for?
Without Sin continues on Wednesday at 9pm on ITV and is available to watch in full on ITVx.
