Critics Reviews

Kelly Lawler USA Today The long-running series drags near the end, but the first few seasons are the epitome of a good will they/won't they relationship. Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian It gets away with everything because it has the irreducible charm of something that is just a little better than it needs to be... Sep 19, 2018 Full Review Gillian Flynn Entertainment Weekly If Bones holds up, it'll be because that old Sam-and-Diane, Maddie-and-David, Mulder-and-Scully opposites-attract stuff never feels standard when it's done right. Rated: B- Mar 14, 2017 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... it struck that perfect alchemy of fun characters, snappy dialogue, murder mystery complications, gooey forensics and, most important, screen chemistry bonded to perfection that most television never approaches. Jul 9, 2022 Full Review David Gurney Common Sense Media While Bones does not do much to innovate the format, it does have a unique advantage in its two lead characters. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2018 Full Review Roger Holland PopMatters It's a weak TV-by-numbers show that makes no attempt to live up to the Brennan books, and it has a single scant hope of surviving the scheduler's cull.
