Television Review - Bones S01E01

BONES
Season One, Episode One
"Pilot"
Directed By Greg Yaitanes
Starring Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz
2005, 60 mins, [TV-14]
 
Re: An FBI agent recruits a forensic analyst to aid him in assorted murder cases. Reading the bones.
 
Outstanding: Boreanaz and Deshanel are very cute characters and they have enough foibles to keep them interesting but not over the top. Her assistants are a fun bunch of misfits.
 
Unacceptable: The Jeffersonian is the name of the museum she works for? Really?!? The story was pretty underwhelming. 
 
Summary: But the story kind of seemed like an afterthought in this episode, which was mostly dedicated to introducing the characters and establishing their positions in the show. Not the worst first episode, but it never really grabbed me.
 
3/5
