      53% Tomatometer 19 Reviews 48% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings Dr. Megan Hunt was a brilliant neurosurgeon at the top of her game until a devastating car accident ended her time in the operating room. But rather than end her medical career, Megan becomes a medical examiner. She develops a reputation for graying the line of where her job ends and the police begin their jobs. Megan realizes she has a lot of work to do to rebuild her relationships with her family members, as they have taken a back seat to her ambition. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Buy Now

      Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle Body of Proof doesn't break any new ground as a procedural and has more than enough hokey moments to make you look elsewhere. Nov 13, 2018 Full Review Emily St. James AV Club She's got a lack of FEELINGS and FRIENDSHIPS and way too much in the way of CAREERISM... But damned if Delany doesn't make all of this at least palatable, if not actively enjoyable. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe It's too bad Body of Proof is so unambitious and, at times, clumsy, as it goes through the motions of solving murder mysteries. Mar 29, 2011 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Body of Proof seems less likely to drive viewers away, at least not viewers content with whodunit crime procedurals. Mar 29, 2011 Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide Body of Proof is just ordinary enough to be a success. Mar 29, 2011 Full Review Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters Lofty pronouncements tend to make their speakers sound silly. Rated: 4/10 Mar 29, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

      J S Enjoyable procedural show, the interpersonal relationships can be a bit soap operay and gets tedious at times. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Soooooo boring and Dana Delaney's character isn't just "unlikeable", that's putting it nicely. Her character is absolutely unbearable. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Given that this show was created on the heels of House with Hugh Laurie I'm sure they could have done a better job on their research. I find it laughable that a top neurosurgeon brings her purse into an autopsy, not to mention wearing street close, and other basic safety precautions even the average joe knows. I know every show doesn't big budgets or can always have the ability to suspend disbelief, but this could have been so much better. Like another reviewer explained "Quincy with Legs" would have been a better route. The stories can be cringe-worthy at moments, and sappy closing happy endings sometimes take a hard left and I simply have to hope the next episode is better. As a huge fan of medical examiner shows both real and fictional, I give shows the benefits of the doubt. But after watching House[USA] and Silent Witness [UK] both of which are direct opposites of Body of Proof, I have to say one star was the best I could muster. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review steve d It fails to differentiate itself from a million other shows . Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 whears 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 bitch 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 1 good. Season 2, downhill. Season 3... lazy ass writing and pitiful over the top directing.. or pitiful acting Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
