Watch Bones: Starter Pack

Bones is a crime procedural drama series that premiered on Fox in 2005 and ran for twelve seasons. The show is based on the books written by Kathy Reichs, a forensic anthropologist. The series follows the life of Dr. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, D.C., and her team of researchers who assist law enforcement in solving cases.

Dr. Brennan, who goes by her nickname Bones, is played by Emily Deschanel. She is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who uses her expertise to identify human remains and solve crimes. Bones is known for her brilliant mind, her attention to detail, and her no-nonsense attitude.

The show is not only focused on Bones and her work but her personal relationships with the characters around her. One of these characters is FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, played by David Boreanaz. Booth works with Bones to solve crimes, though their relationship is a little bit more complicated than just being co-workers. The opposition of Brennan's logical reasoning and Booth's empathy represent two different characteristics, which work hand-in-hand to solve cases.

Other main characters include Dr. Jack Hodgins, played by T.J. Thyne, who is the in-house conspiracy theorist and entomologist, Dr. Camille Saroyan, played by Tamara Taylor, who is the head of the Jeffersonian Institute and Dr. Lance Sweets, played by John Francis Daley, who is a psychologist who works with the team to provide insight into the minds of the suspects.

Throughout the series, Bones and her team face a variety of challenges and solve various crimes. Each episode typically involves a new case that Bones and her team must solve using their expertise, and every season has an underlying story arc to keep the audience hooked. The cases range from murder mysteries to FBI investigations to international terrorism, making it a show that never gets dull.

The show has made use of technology, especially areal drones, to solve cases. Bones is known for her advanced technology such as the computer program Angelator which projects a hologram of what the victim may have looked like before death. Bones is also known for reconstructing bones using modern technology and advanced computing.

One aspect of the show that has always been a fan favorite is the relationship between Bones and Booth. The two characters have a unique chemistry that keeps the audience interested, and their relationship evolves throughout the series. The show explores the tension between the two characters and their emotional turmoil. The showrunner and the writers make the relationship more realistic by not rushing it, but developing it over 12 seasons.
