I look forward to reading your comments on the show.

I've been waiting for this for a while. Hope it does well.

My first impression after watching the first episode tonight is quite positive. Maybe not brilliant show, but really enjoyable and Dana Delany is really good. Her character, dr Hunt reminds me some FBI agent we remember very well from Castle season 2 two-parter [Image Can Not Be Found] Also another cast members are great, especially Jeri Ryan as her boss and Nicolas Bishop (an Australian actor, I wondered the whole episode where I saw him earlier and after checking IMDB.com a few familiar titles appeared, Farscape among them) as her partner. I'm definitely going to watch the next episodes.

Hungarian premiere was on Wednesday, I have time to see it only now. As KalliopePL said, not unique but definitely enjoyable. A mixture of House, a bit of Crossing Jordan, her stylish appearence resembles to Maura Isle, but just because you know all the spices it doesn't mean that the meal is bad.

Dana Delany is perfect, practically she is Jordan Shaw in medical scrubs. There were some weaker moments and I hope that those theatrical gestures like the "body is the evidence" were used only to setup the importance of her work, but altogether it was likeable: good acting from the main characters, good quips and she has a wide range of possibilities from being a sarcastic wiseguy to a vulnerable single mother.

After three episodes now I must admit that I'm slowly starting losing interest…

I saw this show last night, and I actually thought that it was pretty good. 

I didn't neccessarily agree with all of the casting, but I think Dana did a great job, making the character more than just a medical examiner.

I liked it … kinda. I love Dana Delaney and Windell Middlebrooks (Dr. Curtis Brumfield). It reminds me of "Quincy" although, Dr. Quincy was a little bit more of a team player, and actually had friends. Though, I suspect that will be part of the character's arc.

 

If I were grading it, I'd give it a solid "C", but I need to see a few more episodes before I decide whether I'll watch it regularly.

I watched it and liked it. It wasn't the best show (Castle fills that bill), but it was easy to watch. I liked the characters and the actors were all good. I think given more time the show will build.

I liked it. And Dana Delany and Jeri Ryan together rock. Her character is multidimentional, I just wish ABC had gone the same road as they did with Castle, having us learn about her from the start of her being an ME or even before that, when she was faced with the fact that she couldn't be a neurosurgeon anymore and having to decide on a new career. It isn't as satisfying having some of it shown in flashbacks. It does feel untidy. And she confiding in someone she only knows (worked with) for 6 months is feeling unrealistic too. Her character didn't strike me as opening up to that extend in such a short period of time. So, definitely not Castle but then they don't have Andrew Marlowe as the creator now do they [Image Can Not Be Found]? While watching it, it struck me again that we're truly blessed by having him at the wheel.

I watched it and I think that I will give it a fair shot. Could be interesting looking at the murder's from Lanie's point of view. Obviously the first episode was not as good as FLOWERS, but then I love Castle. I think that Body has the potential to be a good show.

Now if we could get Stana, 7 of 9 and Dana together in a movie – that would be awesome. Three kick ass women kicking ass on the big screen.

I probably won't change my regular tv schedule to fit this one in; I didn't mind it, but Dr. Hunt is not at all accurate for an ME; she's a one-person Justice system.  I think I'll stick with Rizzoli and Isles, thanks.  Nothing against Dana…

Watched the pilot, i thought it was ok smile so far somewhere around 7 over 10, will be watching some more smile The 'body of proof' speech in the start reminded me of Angela's 'face-sketch' speech in Bones. Cool smile

I finally watched it, it was a bit of a let down.  The Dana Delaney character really comes off as a bit obnoxious, I'm not sure if I'll be able to warm up to her.  And, it's got one of my pet peeves about how women are portrayed on TV.  It always bugs me when the female lead is outstanding in her field but her personal life is a mess.  Fairly legal was the same way, I watched for a bit and then lost patience with Kate (was that her name?).

I guess that's one of reasons that I like Beckett so much.  She's strong, commanding, and respected in her profession, without having to be obnoxious or abrasive.  She has control over her personal life, not to say that it's perfect, but she's a strong women who has vulnerabilities and tries to deal with them.  She's such a well rounded character.  I will continue to watch B of P for a bit longer in the hopes that Dr. Hunt will become a bit more "human" to me, but I'm not sure it's going to happen.  

I think that Castle has spoiled me a bit, a show has really got to work now to get my attention and interest.

I actually like her character's personality – to a point.  I love that snarky nature, but her character takes control of entire investigations when all an ME actually does is examine the body.  It isn't even her job to check fingerprints and other lab responsibilities.  MEs determine how and when a person was killed.  The crime lab techs deal with the other stuff.
