A disappointment.,
By
This review is from: Body Farm - Series 1 [DVD] (DVD)
As a fan of Waking The Dead, and BBC drama in general, I was looking forward to this series. Week one left me feeling unconvinced, weeks two and three have consolidated my disappointment - I totally agree with the comments of the first two reviewers. Additionally, there are just too many occasions when the viewer is required to suspend belief in relation to timescales for complex scientific analysis to be undertaken and this detracts from the suspense. There are some good bits, but these are overshadowed by the overall lack of credibility in the plots and a dvd of the series will be at the bottom of my priority list.

Terrible spin off from 'Waking the Dead',
By Mrs Pisaroni "reading,dreaming" (yorkshire,england) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Body Farm - Series 1 [DVD] (DVD)
Dr Eve Lockhart (Tara FitzGerald) from Waking the Dead gets her own series.So where does it go wrong?-'The Body Farm' itself-a collection of farm buildings in an unspecified location filled to the rafters with digital and computerised technology that 'real' forensic teams can only dream about. It is too technical,giving the impression that serious crime can be solved merely by pressing a button. -The character of 'Oggy',one of the 'team'.A stereotype- techno-phobe,uber geek happiest at his terminal and totally at odds with the real world.A past illness is hinted at but not developed. He is a genius-can spot a death scene fungus sent to him via an I-Phone and give its latin name.He self harms to test viral infection!! Yes,its that sort of pretentious programme. - The lone police presence-played by Keith Allen, a seemingly one man police district with no other officers or means of solving crime. He therefore enlists the assistance of the good Doctor and her team. To be fair, Keith Allen gives a restrained performance but just who is he? -Who indeed are this specialist team and who do they work for? The viewer is expected to accept what is shown without asking what? who? or why? -The hour long format which wraps everything up in a nice little parcel with plots so thin that you can spot the suspect(s) a mile off and are expected to suspend disbelief that a hospital ward sister would allow a woman with no ID into intensive care just because she claims to be working for the Home Office! The same said woman then proceeds, with some level of accuracy, to inform the patients relatives of the patients condition and recovery prognosis!!! Utter fallacy. -Snap decisions are made, with little to back them up,and they usually-wonder of wonders-turn out to be right. I could go on. A waste of Tara FitzGerald and a poor attempt to jump on the Waking the Dead bandwagon. The former worked because of the strong cast which gave excellent interplay between the team members and,generally tightly plotted scripts: this fails through poor acting and paper thin scripts. The graphic crime scenes,blood,guts and gore serve only to add a sense of crude voyeurism. Very disappointing. As a postscript,I've now seen more of this-on the off chance that I had been harsh- and can only revise my opinion down...alas, no zero star option. It is,quite simply,appalling.

I don't get the negative reviews!,
By Keiley Blair (Jonesboro, AR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Body Farm - Series 1 [DVD] (DVD)
Living in the States, the only way I can watch British tele is from their DVD issues, and being a huge fan of Waking The Dead, The Body Farm was high on my list. So I waited patiently, but I also watched the negative reviews on Amazon mount higher and higher. Normally I don't really read reviews and if I do, I surely don't take them to heart basically because other people's opinions are not mine and just because someone else doesn't like a show has nothing to do with how I'm gonna feel about it. I also don't post reviews of shows or music for the same reason, it's not my place to broadcast my opinion to the world...I'm sure they don't care. Sure, I've given reviews of bad sellers or defective products, but not actual content reviews...EVER. I really can't explain why I suddenly feel the need to post a review of this show, but the feeling is overwhelming, so here I am, against my better judgement, but I have say that I absolutely loved it...I sat and watched the entire series all at one time! I didn't get the comparisons that people keep trying to make to Waking The Dead at all, they are two completely different shows (they just happen to share one character)! It would be like comparing Cheers and Wings just because one's a branch off of the other (OK, I know, completely different format, but it's the first thing that came to my mind). I also work in Pathology...ask any CSI tech or MI-5 agent about CSI or Spooks...I'm sure they'd laugh at the reality of those shows too. You can't compare television to real life and expect it be spot on...it's dramatized for television and they have an hour to tell a story! That's why it's called fiction! The character of Oggy had a lot of symptoms of Asperger's (which I also have) and I fell instantly for him! Besides, I love anything that has Jamie Draven in it and he appears in the last episode, which just cinched it for me. And Jonas Armstrong also appears in an episode, so with Finlay Robertson, Keith Allen and Jonas, it was like a mini Robin Hood reunion! I may be the only person who wants to see it renewed for another series, but I think it deserves a chance, if for no one else than for my benefit alone!
