Body of Proof - Pilot Episode review

What happens when you mix House, Bones and CSI? You get a show that while watching you can't shake the feeling that you have seen it before. The similarities to House are not only on the surface, the writers tried really hard to make this character as brilliant, obsessed and neurotic as possible. She even has a chronic disability that ruined her career as Neurosurgeon and her personal life is a complete mess, being divorced and loosing custody for her daughter.

Dana Delanys acting is stiff and emotionless, even if it is on purpose, it's simply painfull to watch. Her infinite wisdom and deductive skills are just over the top and annoying for the other characters and the TV audience.

"Body of Proof" is a new criminal procedural on ABC. It stars Dana Delany as Dr. Megan Hunt, a neurosurgeon turned medical examiner who uses her prodigious knowledge of medicine and the human body to solve killings much faster than the detectives assigned to the case. Is it necessary to add that she is brilliant but driven by anger and a troubled past? That she locks horns with authority and brushes aside any friendly offers of aid? That she can read a person's recent history from a shaving nick and that chance remarks cause her to gaze into the middle distance as her synapses miraculously solve the case?

If it is, then you don't watch much television. These characteristics could be describing half a dozen current lead characters on shows, including "The Mentalist" and "House," who may nod in passing to Sherlock Holmes (or, in this case, "Quincy, M.E.") but increasingly seem to be the product of some Modern Detective App. - By Mary McNamara, Los Angeles Times Television Critic
