Bones

Amazing Television. Some people have said Emily Dechanel's Acting is Wooden and bad. Temperance Brennan is supposed to be wooden and as sweets states,she over rationalises things,meaning she doesn't understand 'life' like Booth/everyone else does. So she is supposed to be wooden and as seasons progess,she gets better as Booth teaches her.And I think Emily Has done this very Well. David Boreanaz's Acting is changed drastically from Angel,its much better! I love this show and the psychological aspect of relationships,especially between booth and Brennan. 4:47

......which frankly started to put me in mind of a Mothercare advert. Too much goop about babies... Not at all what I was expecting having read most of Kathy Reichs' work, but enjoyable and well served by an excellent supporting cast, notably TJ Thyne and Michaela Conlin. Even the terminally irritating characters of Sweets and Daisy became less annoying with time. It's unusual to see a programme in which there are no main characters you can't connect with. In this case they are all easy to like sympathetic characters....even the interns. Good job fellas.

I started watching Bones when it had just finished its 9th season, so I had a lot of catching up to do. I had just finished watching Freaks and Geeks and I had really liked John Francis Daley, so he was the reason I decided to watch the show. He does not appear as Lance Sweets until Season 3, but he is amazing as always. I started to watch the show because of him, but I fell in love with other characters in the process. I loved how Booth, the FBI agent, made fun of all the anthropologists and how Brennan would always tell her colleagues not to presume or hypothesize anything and just go based off the evidence. Each of the characters have their own quirks that typical people would most certainly not have. That is something I absolutely loved about the show. I love how characters change over time too. Emily Deschanel who plays Brennan goes from being a cold, rational anthropologist to being warm, sometimes kind and sympathetic friend to others. Bones has about 8-9 amazing seasons, but after that it tails off. I watched halfway through season 10 before I decided to stop. The show was not bad by all means, but I was just bored with it by that point.

On a happier note, I loved the show!!! The writing is very witty and smart, it uses modern day real world events in the murder cases and talks about taboo topics in our society. I recommend this show for anyone that likes crime procedural tv shows, I loved it for a very long time and it was with a very sad heart that I decided to stop. This show is highly recommended!

I watched the show and it did feel familiar, yet fresh also. Emily/Temperance is very convincing and the rest of the cast isn't your every day cute side kicks. They seem like real squints, and that is a whole other world they live in. A bit of a stretch on the Holographic skull and body stuff. I'll go with you there, but only if you let the squint out of the lab more.

David B is and always will be Angel to some people, watch this show and you'll come away thinking its more Angelus than Angel, the humor and comic timing between him and Emily has the makings of a Moonlighting relationship if, IF the writers want to play it out that way. All in all, a good show, directing was crisp the photography was also good.

David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel start well with better than two-dimensional characters in a fresh look at a CSI type show. Based on the real-life work of forensic anthropologist and novelist Kathy Reichs, it's fun, kicky, and only occasionally too gruesome to look at. Not quite like one of Ms. Reichs' novels, it is still a pleasure for a fan (me!) to watch. Boreanaz' past work on Buffy and Angel stands in good stead here as he delivers lines that stand up to a strong female role without diminishing it. Also like Buffy, humor lends grace to embarrassing social situations that highlight common human vulnerabilities. Surrounding the 2 major players are other characters who add to the thrust of a character driven show. The writers do good work giving each character unique attributes that have nothing to do with hair color or body measurements. The entire cast does a good job presenting real, quirky individuals who don't have to rely on looks to sell the worth of their character to the viewers. That alone is something new for any CSI show. Still some rough edges in writing and delivery (Tempe's "I wish this was the worst I have seen" was painful for all the wrong reasons),"Bones" has great potential.
