I have mixed feelings about this show. It has its pros and cons. **Pros:** It has highly developed characters you care about them. All of them are unique in their own way. Main character - Temperance ("Bones") used to annoy me at first, but in late seasons she changed, matured, she grew on me and became one of my favorite characters; she is a very classy and pretty woman. Overall, the show highlights great character development. **Cons:** Show suffers from a highly repetitive "body of the week" formula. Literally each episode follows a rigid path: A disgusting decomposed or mangled corpse is discovered (don't recommend watching this show while eating), a specific bone fragment provides a "miracle" clue, and a predictable interrogation leads to a confession in the final minutes. This focus on skeletal remains often feels like a shallow substitute for a compelling plot. The technical jargon and gross-out effects of the forensic lab eventually lose their novelty, occasionally leading to "silly" episodes that lack real tension. Also, I need to highlight that show gets slightly better after season 10 and we get some normal, better episodes instead of this stupid "body of the week" formula. I just wished we had all episodes without it, then I would rate this show higher.
