Think of it as "The X-Files" without the aliens, although, the "Squints" at work in the Jeffersonian anthropology department might make you wonder about that. As an entertaining series, "Bones" works on all levels. It overflows with techno-babble and forensic magic, enough to engross any armchair crime scene investigator.
The sidekick characters are all suitably cute, snarky, and interesting, and the leads David Boreanz and Emily Deschanel, come the closest to succeeding at resurrecting Mulder and Scully than anyone else has in the last ten years. Boreanz's "Seeley Booth" is a quirky special agent, with a dark past. Striped socks, flashy ties and a boyish grin compliment the steely, analytical character Deschanel brings to life, Dr. Temperence "Bones" Brennan. Booth is the pious former alter boy, Bones is the abandoned little girl who does not understand the concept of God.
Season 2 of "Bones" is a can't lose buy. With twice as many episodes as season 1, there is plenty of room to explore storylines, concepts and character development, with romance, family ties, psychiatry and dark humor all rolled into one tasty forensic roll.
I chose to buy this series from ebay without even having watched an episode of it and I was not disappointed. Along with the full season of episodes, there are special features which include a "Memories of filming" featurette, a in depth look on the digital technology used in the filming, and a very funny gag reel. (And if you're often disappointed with gag reels, rest assured this one is filled with genuinely funny moments and is also of a decent length.)
