Review of Proof

Proof (2015)
2/10
I really want to like this, but...
25 June 2015
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...
