If “Body of Proof” can rise from the ashes of its burned-out pilot, it may hit a notch slightly above mediocre. If it hopes to stay afloat, it must attempt to carve out at least a few decent characters who are distinct in their own right, rather than borrowed from overworked, too-familiar stereotypes. But “Body of Proof” has to work harder to distinguish itself from the surplus of other dramas in its genre. The show may have started with an intriguing concept, and yes, Delany was a good choice for the role. ![]() By this time, there’s an almost visceral need to see both detectives tell Hunt to shut it and go back to her lab where she belongs. And what do you know, as the episode draws to a close, Hunt smugly puts the final pieces in place and shoves her superior investigative work right in the detectives’ faces. Even harder to understand is why Hunt believes she is an honorary detective, despite the lack of a badge or training.Īpparently, Hunt believes she can solve the case all by her lonesome, and her long gazes into empty spaces supposedly alert viewers to her brilliant deductive reasoning skills. Hunt seems way too passionate about her medical examiner work, given that she’s been forced into it after losing the ability to perform what she really loves - neurosurgery. The multiple discrepancies put forth are tiresome at best and decidedly sloppy, even for a premiere. The unfortunate time slot may prove to be the least of viewers’ worries, though. Viewers won’t know where to turn, and will likely end up dismissing “Body of Proof” altogether. Unfortunately, ABC made the misguided decision to place “Body of Proof” on Tuesday nights, thus pitting it against several female-targeted dramas, including “The Good Wife,” an already popular show featuring a strong female lead. It’s a shame, given that a powerful female character spearheading a new series should have proved to be a refreshingly original change. There are moments where it seems that she might just break through the achingly awful dialogue and overly trite plot, but every attempt falls short of satisfactory. You know a show is bad when even a seasoned actress like Delany can’t quite pull off such a mundane character. This is a list of the characters featured in the American medical drama Body of Proof created by Christopher Murphey starring Dana Delany. Yet all these hopelessly hackneyed possibilities don’t save Hunt from acting like she’s walking around with a question mark over her head. She’s a character from a different show in every scene - from a snarky doctor with an inferiority complex (à la “House”), to a socially incompetent brainiac (“Bones”), to a tough cop out for justice (“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”), to a woman dealing with a repressed love for her partner (“Castle”). His partner, Detective Samantha Baker, has a quiet respect for Megan's input, even if Morris doesn't.Hunt can’t seem to make up her mind on which stereotypical character from a medical or criminal procedural drama she wants to embody.
