With the second episode, though, the whole tone improves: Delany's performance seems to have caught some of the coppery warmth of her hair, and we spend more time with a good ensemble. [4 Apr 2011, p.49]
Body of Proof has an awesome cast with excellent performance by Dana Delany and Jeri Ryan. Stories are fun and characters are just great and likable. I look forward to seeing new episode each week. Love it!
Body of Proof doesn't break any new ground as a procedural and has more than enough hokey moments to make you look elsewhere. But as a case study of how and why star vehicles get made, this is textbook.
Body of Proof feels like a show that has nearly been nibbled to death by network ducks. You can almost see the TV executive Post-it notes on the screen.
Murphey and the writers will have to do a lot of heavy lifting for Body of Proof to transcend its immediate predictability. There's only so much Delany can do with a cardboard show.
Body of Proof for the most part plays dead within the realm of plausible crime-solving, interesting characters and assumptions that Delany's once-promising career would do more than wither on this vine.
its a great one. she Delaney emotes really **** can sometimes actually feel as though she is suffering like th echaracters. she seems t have a smirk on her fce all th t time. the society hill episode was the best one!!!! Does anybody know the name of the song? (I mean the line: "I don't wanna die.")
They could have done a better job. This show is predictable, unoriginal and lacks of character's development. The premise sounded good but even a such great actress like Delaney can't hold the weight of an entire show forever.
Dana Delany is the reason I began watching the show, and ultimately why the writing for her character is why I stopped. Her character was unlikable in season 1, and by season 3, I found it impossible to watch.
Am M.E. doesn't come into a room unless it is cleared first by the Police, and they definitely aren't allowed in pursuit of an armed suspect! Her character routinely waltzes into crime scenes which have both not been cleared, and worse, won't "Stay in the car" when guns are out, and armed suspects are around the corner. The character's know it all attitude wears Very thin in only a few episodes. This M.E. she just does what she wants to who she wants, with no consequences. In short her character is a smug **** who I soon found myself cheering against. It's hard to like a series when you really don't like the lead character. Shame, Dana Delany is so talented.
I feel so sorry for Delaney that she has such a miserable script to work from. What a comedown from the wonderful writing that was China Beach and her steller performances in that series.
Avoid. It seems they've tried to pick some concepts that make other crime series great, but here it just doesn't work. Biggest problem, the main character comes through as extremely annoying. Second, it's just boring and humourless and does not feel fresh in any way. 5 years back this may have worked, but I can't see that it does now, with a market already flooded with crime shows.
