I like to “watch” something while I’m working — and by “watch” I mean put it on in the background and listen while I’m writing.
This show was based on the popular mystery series by Kathy Reichs. Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennon (called “Bones” by her partner) solves crimes with the help of FBI agent Seeley Booth. They’re assisted by a cast of quirky characters from the Jeffersonian and the FBI. In addition to the individual show’s arc (which was resolved in sixty minutes), the show also had several series’ arcs with stories about serial killers who were after various members of the team at various times.
I have to admit, Bones was interesting enough to have me shifting tabs now and then to see what the characters were up to … I like mystery shows and quirky characters, so this one was a good fit for my interests. It’s hardly historical, but an author does not live on genre alone.
