Bones is my new obsession. No, not actual human remains but the Fox series named "Bones". It is the smartest, funniest, and at times the grossest criminal drama series yet!

The series is based (very) loosely on the life of a forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reich. By very loosely I mean the only thing Kathy and her character share are their profession.

The series follows the life of a Forensic Anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan (Bones) and her FBI partner Special Agent Seeley Booth. Bones and Booth are worlds apart. Booth is able to read people like an open book whereas Bones lacks any social skills but is a genius and the best in her field. Together, they solve crimes by figuring out how the victim died using only the bones--at times years after the actual crime occurred.

By now, you're probably wondering how is Bones any different than CSI or NCIS. It's different because Bones focuses not on the crime (although it's a big part of the show) but on the relationships between the main characters. There is great chemistry between Booth and Bones--so strong that one can feel it seeping out of the TV set!

The show is now in its third season and I can tell you, its as strong as ever. Although Fox, for some odd incomprehensible reason, does not like to put all it's episodes online, you can see some of them by Clicking here.

Enjoy!
