Bones TV Series Review

The Team 

Hi Guy's i've just finished Bones Series 10 and
currently watching through 11 so i thought i'd do a review of the boxset so far!! (TV series) .


Bones is a american crime drama series that premiered on FOX the show first aired in the us on september 13th 2005 .

My first impression of the show was that it was going to be like all the other crime drama's out there but Bones took it a different way with completely different main character personalities and their unique take on death and investigation it had me intrigued especially when I knew David Boreanaz would be in it as I was a big fan of Buffy The Vampire slayer back in the day so i was very much excited to see david in something else .

The show is based on forensic anthropology and forensic archaeology with each episode focusing on FBI case files concerning the mysteries behind human remains that are investigated by Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) and Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) who's nickname in the show is Bones they both work extremely well together as they are complete polar opposites.

The show is created by Hart Hanson the series is loosely based on the life and writings of novelist and forensic anthropologist kathy reichs who also produces the show, Bones is a joint production by Josephson Entertainment , far field productions and 20th Century Fox Television tbh i havent really watched much thats created by Hart but i was keen to see this show .

The show is an alliance between forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan (Bones) and FBI special agent Seeley Booth and there hunt to find the victims behind the bones and look for clues that are not so obvious.

Brennan is the main team leader of the jeffersonian institute lab , a federal institution that collaborates with the FBI and the smithsonian where she works along side a fantastic group of people that assist her and booth along the way  .

Set in washington DC the show revolves around solving cases of possible murder victims from their bones . Dr brennan and her team provide the science expertise and booth provides Fbi techniques.
Brennan and Booth are constantly at a disagreement about science and faith , brennan argues for science , evidence and atheism and doesn't think with her emotions it's all about the facts and the truth where booth argues faith , god and the unproven and the fbi instincts and police experience.

Brennan is a brilliant and well known forensic anthropologist who works the the jeffersonian institute, she is author of her own crime fiction books based on her life of solving cases and experiences she goes through  .
she is a atheist and a strong believer in facts and evidence she comes off distant and detached from everyday peoples human emotions she lacks empathy and compassion but through the series learns to understand those emotions .
She is known for a high IQ (smart ass) and impressive reasoning skills . Throughout the series she learns to understand love , marriage , family and motherhood and develop a better understanding of human emotion .

Booth seeks brennans professional help in investigations involving human remains that need to be identified and find how they met their death.
He is a skilled investigator and interrogator who relies often on his "gut" and "cop instincts". he was a veteran where he was a sniper , he is a father and a younger brother .
Booths character can be very emotional where anger , romance and hunch's lead him on his cases he is the complete opposite to brennan but it completely works.

It took a long while for brennan and booth to get together which i was very happy about as you're constantly routing for the couple to get together , i found that throughout the majority of the series i was pretty hooked all the way through although i'm very curious what will be next in the story i'm currently watching season 11 so hoping for something a bit more explosive in the storyline to come forth as i feel like its reaching its end unless they pull something out the bag!.

Ive enjoyed the cast that work alongside brennan and booth although after 10 seasons and through 11 i definitely think they need more gripping storylines added and a mix up with the surrounding cast as all the same faces for 11 seasons makes it feel like there's not much change and some of the backing characters i feel have reached their limit when it comes to show and i don't think they can progress much more .

I have very much enjoyed the whole box set and still watching throughout i would rate this so far as
a 8/10 as there is much more that can be done to grip us to the show especially considering in 11 seasons there hasn't been much oh my gosh moments where you want to cry or throw something at the tv.
