One of the best crime dramas on TV at the moment is the American series Bones. The programme puts a completely new perspective on criminal investigation as each episode is about the mystery behind some human remains. These are found by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth and taken to forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance 'Bones' Brennan and her team for analysis.
Despite the serious subject matter, the show contains an element of light-hearted comedy. Much of the humour revolves around the central character Dr Brennan, who is cold and unemotional, with no social skills, and her relationship with Agent Booth, who is much more friendly and outgoing.
Dr Brennan uses the phrase 'I don't know what that means' every time someone talks about pop culture, while Booth often has to translate her scientific language into words that ordinary people can understand. Predictably, Booth and Dr Brennan do, eventually, become a couple.
Although the show has been criticised for making forensic science seem simple, it has been very popular with TV audiences all over the world. This is mainly because of the dual storyline about the solving of a crime and the relationship between the main characters. The show's success is reflected in the length of time it has been running. Seven seasons have been filmed since the series began, and if the writers are able to continue producing such a gripping storyline, it will continue to be popular.
1The writer says that the series is original.
2FBI Special Agent Booth is known as 'Bones' by his friends.
3The two main characters have very similar personalities.
4Dr Brennan knows very little about pop music and TV.
5Some people say that forensic science is more complicated than it seems in the series.
6The writer says that the show's future depends on the relationship between the main actors.
