I saw that our baby Mousy played the daughter of the main lady in the show and I was like: I'm looking 👀.
After checking the synopsis I was sold. I love these kinds of shows. It is very CSI-ish, and CSI was one of the very first tv series I ever got hooked on as a kid. It has a nostalgic weight. Body of Proof not only is like that but has also a great female main cast.
It's a very easy and very fun show to watch. You don't have to binge, but you absolutely can. Each episode stands on its own, after all, each episode is a new case. Maryzinha took a while to show up and was very sparsely present, but eventually, we got more and more of her.
She was so tiny!!
Dana and Jeri drove me INSANE as the main leads. My lesbian heart was being SO well fed. Sometimes I would fanfic that they would just marry and peck at each other forever.
Unfortunately, something happened at the end of season 2 -- or it felt like it. The show underwent some changes and it was very badly explained, so the third and last season suffered. It was really a shame. Body of Proof deserved better. But, again, I don't know what happened at the behind-the-scenes. Maybe there's a very good reason.
Anyhow, I'm glad I watched it. Mary was delightful. Her character's attitude, inherited from her screen mom, was wonderful. The two main figures of this kid's life are two badass powerful women who won't hesitate on standing their ground and taking charge. They are very assertive, clever, mature, and aware of their self-worth. Truly a rarity. Which doesn't mean they are perfect -- I'm tired of having to add this dumb warning because, OF COURSE, no one is perfect, but still, people will cry if I don't.
By the way, the name of the little girl is Lacey Fleming, which... SO CUTE. Seriously. Lacey? A name can't get sweeter than that.
A recurring theme between Megan -- the lead --, her daughter, Lacey, and her mother, Joan, is the plot of the absent mother. Which was so cool to follow. I was ON IT. I needed MORE. I wanted them to just get together so bad and just be a fucking family. It is clear when the text starts to show us how Megan is committing a lot of the same mistakes her mother committed with her, and how the cycle is tough to break.
There's much that could be talked about, but I just wanted to give a quick overall take on my experience. In case anyone is interested, you can find it on the internet. Plus, look at this cast of millions:
One thing I’ve always hated about Body Of Proof is that sometimes the episodes seem almost out of order.
For example season 1: in one episode Lacey tells Megan she feels smothered and to back off, the next episode Lacey comes and makes a video at the MEO and says she’s proud to be Megan’s daughter, the following episode after that Megan says that the last time her and Lacey spoke Lacey said she was being smothering.
Example from season 3: the episode with the Russos we meet Adams dad, if I remember correctly Megan wasn’t there because she’d already pissed of Daniel so they were keeping her at bay but I find it difficult to believe that she didn’t find out what happened later on (also Kate knows so??) however in episode 12 she asks Adam about his parents like she doesn’t know anything about him
never thought i’d agree with megan’s mother, but she’s right, they’re all making decisions for lacey, instead of asking her what she it is that she wants.
