I've watched 3 out of the 6 episodes of this, and it's certainly nowhere near as good "Waking The Dead", in fact it seems weak all round, not to mention a bit cheesy. It plods along with no suspense.:(

Am I being hypercritical?

Watched the first one and decided it was nonsense, the science and procedural police work was a joke. Total fantasy stuff.

Did'nt even have the advantage of being so bad it was good a la Bonekickers or that underwater thriller, The Deep BBC1 did last year.

I never saw The Deep, but I'd say that Bonekickers was ten times better than the Body Farm.:o

Watched it for the first time last night and switched over after only 20 mins. The whole premise of a private forensic lab operating out of what looks like a hippy commune on a farm in the middle of nowhere is just too preposterous to be believable. It's also as slow moving as a river of treacle.

I decided to watch until the bitter end and couldn't care less whether it gets renewed or not.

The thing that sticks out for me, is that Declan Croghan, the writer of one or two episodes, seems to have a fascination for "Irish Traveller" story-lines. He had at least one when he wrote for Waking The Dead, and he obviously couldn't resist doing another one for the final episode of The Body Farm.
