Bone Detectives: Britain's Buried Secrets

It's nice to watch a show that features women scientists. Obviously some people can't handle it, but I actively seek out programming with women. It's unfortunate that so many men are threatened by women. Frankly, some of the other comments border on misogyny. In any event, this show is fascinating. It's kind of a true crime/history/archeology mashup. Hope there are many seasons of this.

A disappointing slog through what could have been fascinating material. Information overload combined with stiff delivery made this nearly unwatchable. Tori Herridge's segments were especially monotonous, droning on with textbook facts rather than engaging storytelling. Save yourself the time and skip this one. I was excited about the concept but quickly found myself checking how much time was left in each episode. Tori Herridge speaks as if she's lecturing undergrads who are forced to be there. Her lack of real expertise clearly doesn't translate to engaging television. I don't know who this show is for but it wasn't for me.

I am a semi retired teacher who produced a book which Prof Sir Michael Rutter described as an interesting and informative guide. In all my years of teaching history I have never understood how who the Beaker People were until this series. The BBC is over rated and it is great to watch these off beat series on History eg Walking Roman Roads, which have a fresh outlook. Lead presenter excellent.

This was information overload and grew boring very quickly. Personally felt like i was reading a textbook rather than being entertained. Herridge was especially droning. I agree with others that it was repetitive and uninspired. Nohing more should be made like this again. Please spare us. The concept had a lot of promise but unfortunately they grossly missed the mark. Im sure these people are very educated and qualified but it doesnt mean they should be allowed to have an entire netflix show. Very basic and maybe could have been ok, but no. I would skip this if you are considering giving it a watch.

I love this show please make more episodes pleasepleaseplease!!! I especially love the episodes about the really old skeletons but the ones about skeletons from the industrial revolution were cool too. I love how the information is presented in a crime documentary way (especially when there wasnt actually a "crime" involved in the persons death). Anyway i need there to be more episodes of this. Thank you.
