Bones Season 1

Inspired by the work of a real-life forensic anthropologist and novelist, this darkly comic series follows Dr. Temperence Brennan (Emily Deschanel), an employee of a Smithsonian-like institution who has a knack for finding clues in the bones of murder victims. Called in to assist law enforcement in their investigations, she's often teamed with a government agent (David Boreanaz) who mistrusts the connection between science and solving crime.
