Bones

Bones

"Every body has secrets."

Dr. Temperance Brennan and her colleagues at the Jeffersonian's Medico-Legal Lab assist Special Agent Seeley Booth with murder investigations when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that the standard identification methods are useless.

Quite idiotic show...It suffers from a highly repetitive "body of the week" formula. Literally each episode follows a rigid path: a decomposed or mangled corpse is discovered, a specific bone fragment provides a "miracle" clue, and a predictable interrogation leads to a confession in the final minutes. This focus on skeletal remains often feels like a shallow substitute for a compelling plot. The technical jargon and gross-out effects of the forensic lab eventually lose their novelty, occasionally leading to "silly" episodes that lack real tension.

Emily Deschanel ("Bones") is very pretty and brings a striking presence to the screen. However, her performance as Temperance Brennan is very annoying; her clinical and literal interpretation of the character often crosses the line from being socially awkward to simply being robotic and annoying. The way she talks and acts... I just can't stand her.

Angela is another annoying character I can't stand.

Ultimately, Bones serves as passable background noise for those who enjoy standard mid-2000s procedurals. The "body of the week" formula is predictable & boring.
