Addicted to Bones

My latest obsession on TV is this serial on Star World called Bones, an FBI murder mystery investigation based on forensic science... How did I get addicted to this?? Thanks to the husband’s visit to the US and our late night chats, I started watching the serial (aired between 11 & 12am) and started liking it as well...

That’s what I am currently following on TV apart from my regulars like ‘The Nanny’ and ‘Friends’ (repeats of repeats!!!). Bones is a serial which is currently aired on Star World channel here in India. It is a murder investigation serial with a lot of blood & gore in it and revolves primarily around two characters - Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan. Given the theme of the serial, one might think it could be a serious stuff like any other serial in that genre but on the contrary it’s very funny and full of humour. That’s probably why it makes for an interesting watch and caught my attention at well.

The chemistry / romance between the two leading actors and their constant denial is the highlight of the serial... So when there is a lot of gore involved, the relief comes in the form of humour and light- hearted comedy not just between the leading actors but also amongst their working team.

The show’s main characters are Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) and Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel). Everyone in the forensic anthropology team is great and I love the character Sweets... he is indeed a sweet guy!!! I have always liked David (Booth) from his ‘Buffy The Vampire' days and he is still the same handsome guy as he was earlier!!

The show i.e the 4th season ended today, which is really sad news to me especially because I really liked it so much and would watch it though it was very late in the night (in spite of the husband now having returned). *SIGH* I only started watching it from season 4 onwards... I have to get hold of the earlier ones before the start of season 5!
