Bones

2005–2017 · 12 seasons

A breezy procedural that balances grisly forensic details with warm workplace banter and will-they-won't-they chemistry.

Tagline: Every body has secrets.
Overview: Dr. Temperance Brennan and her colleagues at the Jeffersonian's Medico-Legal Lab assist Special Agent Seeley Booth with murder investigations when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that the standard identification methods are useless.
How it feels: Dark, light, warm and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Crime, death, science, family
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
