This is the most stupidest show i have ever seen, the lady doctor who is the main lead in this show SIMPLY CANNOT ACT, yes if she is reading this on IMDb, let me put it this way ... HELLO ! YES YOU... YES I AM TALKING TO YOU... YOU CANNOT ACT, whatever you are doing in front of camera is sheer stupidity.Why would a billionaire come to a prick doctor who has ego issues, attention seeker and god knows what other issue she has while speaking or interacting with other people who are seeking her help.Retire this show and save time and money of the PRODUCERS. The show has absolutely no storyline, no grip .. nothing !!I rate is 1 yes, that too there is no 0.5 so i am giving 1.People don't waste your time watching this lady doctor, she will irritate your senses.

I don't know what happens when we die. I am intrigued by it, given my own experiences and after having seen the series Beyond and Back..., where real people told their stories, which were breathtaking. It really wasn't about NDEs because all the people in it had been pronounced dead and flatlined. It was an amazing show.Proof takes a slightly different stance. A wealthy man, Ivan Turing (Matthew Modine), who has terminal cancer, wants to know what happens when we die, and asks a brilliant doctor, Carolyn Tyler (Jennifer Beals), to investigate the phenomenon. Tyler herself had an NDE when her son died, but has pushed it away and doesn't talk about it. Tyler asks a young doctor, Zed (Edi Gathegi) to join her, and she works with him and with members of Turing's staff.Carolyn remains skeptical and attempts to handle things in a scientific manner, which is good, and because of that, the show doesn't go into la-la land. I wouldn't mind it, but I'm sure some would.I have always liked the beautiful, intelligent Jennifer Beals, but she was misguided initially. Her character was unlikeable and annoying. An actress playing this kind of role can choose parts of a script where she can show some vulnerability or warmth -- and it was up to the director to guide her in that, which he obviously didn't do. It sort of reminded me of Vivien Leigh begging that a line remain in the Gone with the Wind script where Scarlet says she wanted to be kind like her mother etc. -- because she felt without that line, Scarlet was an impossibly awful character. The character of Dr Tyler was in the same boat but with no paddle.I noticed a change in her personality around the fourth episode and realized the director was different. The change was enough to make her a nicer character.The story veers out of the hospital covering Carolyn's home life - she has a teenage daughter and is separated from her husband. Also, Zed has his own problems -- he's expected back in his home country, and a marriage has been arranged for him. It isn't what he wants.The subject of NDEs is a fascinating one but in order for it to play to the masses, it has to be presented in a clinical way, and the episodes have been solid. I hope it continues with Beals' adjustment in character.

I read through a couple of the prior reviews and a couple stood out for me: "Where is this going?" and "Another angry female in charge." I can't help but feel like this is a one-trick-pony, but I really hope it gets it's shizz together to improve. Why? Because I applaud anyone who tries to look deep into the meaning of life, and what is consciousness and what happens when we die, I think there is a place in this world now for TV that goes above and beyond the usual formula, but it seems that so far in the first 2 episodes, the writers are floundering. I heartily agree with the comment 'another angry female in charge', it is funny how writers think that to portray a 'Strong Female Character' that they have to make her all yelly and dour, why not have a poised, easy-going woman in charge? Why not have a funny woman in charge? What is it about writing for TV these days that everything has to adhere to the usual US0fA TV stereotypes? I have known women in authority who are playful and kind, so it is a thing! Anywho, the opening scene of the second episode was a good idea but so badly and sickly-sweetly written it had me gagging and wishing they would all hurry up and make their transition to the other side! (Sorry Jennifer!) Having said all of that, I love Jennifer Beals, I love Matthew Modine, and I am keen on them making something of the subject material, so here's hoping I can one day change my star rating...

I'll be honest; I didn't have a lot of interest in this from the description. Still, I thought I'd check it out.Beals is good but her character is silly. In the first scene as she swaggers into the operating room she seems less like a surgeon than like a combat pilot from some '40s movie. I mean, she does it quite well, but it comes across as really unlikely. The premise is, of course, super silly. Rich dying guy pays random person to research life after death. As opposed to, say, hiring a large research firm. Or, as someone else suggested, donating money to work on a cure for what's killing him.The show is silly, but seems to take itself pretty seriously, especially in the whole grieving family drama parts.Beals was good in her oddly-written role, and the intern she yells at was also quite good, but around the halfway point, before I could even figure exactly how they were going to approach the topic, I got so bored I just gave up. There's no afterlife; I need to make the most of this one by only watching good TV.
