Proof - Season 1
A brilliant yet troubled surgeon seeks evidence that death is not the end by studying cases of reincarnation, near-death experiences and hauntings. Following the death of her teenage son, a divorce, and a rift with her daughter, Dr. Carolyn Tyler is persuaded by Ivan Turing, a tech inventor and billionaire with cancer, to investigate supernatural cases of reincarnation, near-death experiences, and haunting, in hopes to find evidence that death is not final.

Proof might be trying to earn its PhD in heaven and hell, but it doesn't pass the test of being an even decent television show.June 17, 2015
Beals does hard-edged well, her bluntness an effective buffer against the potential treacle of the weekly cases.June 23, 2015
Life after death series mixes science and the paranormal.June 17, 2015
Proof does not fit the tone TNT has cultivated more recently with The Last Ship and The Librarians. Proof feels like a throwback and a bit of a throwaway, too.June 18, 2015
Have you ever had a show that you felt was talking to you? When Carolyn and Peter met in the hallway of the hospital, that's how I felt.June 18, 2015
This is Beals' show from start to finish, with her character's softer sides and haunted vulnerabilities seeping through that hard-shell casing during Episode 3 in particular.June 17, 2015
Proof feels like a show that takes complex issues and merely skims their surface.June 17, 2015
On its own terms - which is as a comforting medical-supernatural drama with a strong female lead designed to follow TNT's Rizzoli & isles - Proof proves its modest worth.June 23, 2015
Jennifer Beals' tough and prickly characterization of Dr. Tyler helps elevate the show beyond its more earnest tendencies.June 11, 2015
Proof raises the question whether there is evidence of life after death and gives the impression that the show is going to delay giving an answer for as long as possible. Worse, it seems that the creators really haven't thought it out.
