    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've watched all seasons up to season 3 and I keep waiting for this show to evolve into something more. The characters are so incredibly one dimensional. Cool cop, hot scientist, awkward lab guy, and no-nonsense, straight-talking black supporting character. Cliche much? This is like if Bones and House had an ugly baby. What's more, the plots are getting ridiculous. The season 2 finale was laughably ridiculous and now in season 3, we have a crazy person trying to blow up planes by placing bombs in people where spleens used to be... Come on people, 911 happened with a box cutter! Why hide bombs in body cavities when you can simply shove some c4 where the sun doesn't shine? I have reached my limit.… Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Despite all the show's flaws, she makes some quieter emotional moments work, thanks to her undeniable presence and skills. The by-the-numbers vehicle that has been constructed around her isn't worthy of her talent, however.

    Body of Proof is, in other words, a mash-up of half the popular mystery series on TV right now: a little bit "Castle," a little bit "Bones" and a whole lot "House." How effective you find it depends almost entirely on how you feel about Delany.

    It's too bad Body of Proof is so unambitious and, at times, clumsy, as it goes through the motions of solving murder mysteries. If the writing were fresher, Delany might have a better chance of finally creating a dynamic and successful drama.
