Bones was one of the last shows I really, really loved to watch. Where I would look forward to every new episode. This show was great right out of the gate because it was well crafted and developed. The characters had enough depth from the pilot on, to be interesting, and enough in the background to be developed. It was easy to attach to them and care for them. They were all perfectly cast and everybody gave it their best.
We all know that in the long run their would be the romance on the horizon but personally I think in the early parts of the show it did not stand in the way. It has always been a character driven show so those things are to be expected. But it also felt believable, the affection, the care, the friendships - I totally bought into that.
There are always pros and cons in re-watching a show. You know what will happen so it's fun to look for clues when things started to develope. But because of that, it also takes away a bit, because of what you know.
After now having completed the first season, again, I have to say that I still love this show. Interesting cases, great, snippy humor - there were several attemps to do a character like Bones in similar shows, as is always be the case when something is succesfull. None came close. There is only one Bones.
I give this season a very strong 9, trending towards a 10.
David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel star in the Fox police procedural Bones. In Season 1 FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth teams up with the forensic team at Washington D.C.’s Jeffersonian Institute and uses their expertise to help solve crimes. Boreanaz and Dechanel have good chemistry together and give strong performances. And an impressive list of guest stars are featured, including Morris Chestnut, Rachel Miner, Jaime Ray Newman, Adam Baldwin, and Dee Wallace. Additionally, the writers do an impressive job at keeps the cases fresh and interesting, and at balancing the cases with character stories. However, the titular “Bones” character doesn’t make a lot of sense, as she’s supposed to be a bestselling novelist yet doesn’t know hardly any pop culture references or common colloquialisms (which would seem to contradict with being a novelist). Yet while the show’s still working a few things out, Bones delivers a strong first season.
