Bones - Season 1 - 5.0 Stars

If you have Netflix I encourage you to add Bones to you list NOW! The story is loosely based upon the work and life of a real life forensic anthropologist and author, Kathy Reichs; who also serves as the shows Executive Producer. So you get the feel for reality in this show that sometimes ends up missing in your average CSI spin-off.

It is a fun comedic series full of dark mysteries and illuminated by interesting personalities centered around the lead character Dr. Temperence Brennan (Emily Deschanel)and her team, who all works for Smithsonian-eaque, "Jeffersonian Museum of Natural History" save their lone FBI contact, Agent Booth (David Boreanaz). Their purpose is to find the clues that the bones and in most cases the nearly rotted corpse will provide to unveil the dark plot of murder. The old pirate saying that dead men tell no tales is not true anymore.

The interchange between Brennan and Booth is hilarious at times and touch at others. They have a very interesting and enjoyable relationship that my wife and I really enjoy watching. The other characters are equally complex and enjoyable. If you enjoy good drama and mystery to boot with an dark humored yarn tying the package together you will love this series!
