Do you love police procedurals? Well get ready to watch Bones, a TV show where the skeletons are the main clues!  

Bones centers around a quirky team of forensic anthropologists and FBI agents who investigate the mysteries behind each murder, one femur at a time. The heart of the show is Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), a brilliant forensic anthropologist who's more comfortable with bones than people. Her partner, Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), is an FBI agent who strongly believes in his higher power.

They’re a duo with an unexpected and entertaining dynamic. Together, they lead a group of experts who use their highly specialized knowledge and skills to analyze bones, DNA, and other evidence to identify victims and bring them justice.  

Hop on this wild procedural ride filled with suspense, humor, and bone-chilling discoveries.
