Movie Reviews of Bones: Seasons 1-3
Movie Review: Funny, Stimulating, If Occasionally Grisly New Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Bones" is the most consistently entertaining forensics TV series ever produced, and "Bones: Seasons 1-3" is a wonderful way to watch a terrific show improve, and grow, over four seasons (the first four episodes of Season 4 are also included in the collection). While the decomposing corpses that open each episode aren't for the squeamish, please bear with it; once the real investigations begin, and the "squints" start putting the pieces together (sometimes LITERALLY!), you'll find yourself 'hooked'!
Created by Hart Hanson (based on the novels and career of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs), the series offers the irresistable pairing of brilliant scientist Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan (smart, sexy Emily Deschanel) and her partner, hunky FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth ("Angel's" David Boreanaz); the chemistry between the pair is simply perfect, a mix of humor, conflicting beliefs, adolescent bickering, and thinly-veiled attraction. They could 'carry' the series by themselves, but "Bones" is also blessed with one of the best supporting casts on TV, as Brennan's team of "squints"; exotic Michaela Conlin as Bones' free-spirited artist best friend; T.J. Thyne as the millionaire 'bug guy' in love with Conlin; Tamara Taylor as the lab chief (and Booth's ex-girlfriend); wonderful Eric Millegan as Bones' geeky, if genius young assistant; and John Francis Daley as the enthusiastic, youthful psychologist Bones and Booth constantly pick on. The cast is a family in the best sense of the word, and certainly improves an already superb series.
Special praise should be given to a few recurring guest stars; the legendary Ryan O'Neal, as Bones' estranged criminal father, is as likable a rogue as has ever graced the small screen, and Loren Dean, as her older brother, is nearly as good. Ty Panitz is adorable as Booth's son, Parker, and Patricia Belcher, as a smart-talking, no-nonsense D.A., has turned a small role into a welcome highlight. Jonathan Adams, who portrayed the erudite archeologist/lab chief in Season One, also deserves recognition; while he never 'fit' as well as Taylor would, in the mix, he was wonderful.
Incredible special effects (those corpses do look real!), genuinely frightening villains (especially a serial cannibal and a murderer who buried victims alive), satisfying subplots, and a healthy dose of irreverence (watch the 'Dead Santa' episode and try NOT to laugh), make "Bones: Seasons 1-3" a constant pleasure, and the Special Features reveal that the cast and crew are every bit as likable as the characters on-screen.
This is a 'keeper', and worth the price!
