Dr. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and also writes books, has an impressive ability to read clues from victims' bones. Consequently, law enforcement calls her to assist with investigations when remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that standard identification methods are useless. Brennan is teamed with Special Agent Seeley Booth, a former Army sniper, who mistrusts science and scientists when it comes to solving crimes but who has developed respect for Brennan, both professionally and personally.

steve d Still fun but this is one of the weakest seasons, with some iffy product placement and less interesting arch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I found episodes in season 5 to be contradictory to prior seasons we know that bones loves pigs for their intellect and begged for one. She also was pretty upset when the dog who killed the vet was put down because it was not his fault. These prior strong feeling makes her cold reaction Season 5 to be implausible Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review russell h Cases are very diverse and character development continues to be strong. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Starts to get a bit formulaic at times. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Whilst Bones holds some very interesting cases and Brennan still holds up as a admirable feminist icon, the show seems to start repeating itself much too often. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
