I had very low expectations going into this show due to the title, but it turned out to have some potential. Definitely not one of Bones’ best works though. The banter between the two main characters is enjoyable to watch. So far I think the mystery aspect of the show is lacking, however. Even I could figure out who the murderer was. It’s not so much the girl is a genius as the other two are idiots. Maybe that was the point though. Since this is only the first episode, I assume the mysteries will become more involved as the show moves along.

It looks like next week the show is moving into more supernatural stuff. I’m guessing that they will get into more mythology as well. I’m hoping they’ll use actual myths rather than ones they made up for the show – it’s not like there is a lack of material to work with. Plus, I hope they develop the setting more. I am a real sucker for settings in alternate histories like this, and it would be great if they went into more historical details. I’m not too hopeful though, as I think they made up most of the myths that were mentioned so far. The “springtime reaper” legend sounds plausible but a quick google search didn’t reveal anything. On further reflection I would think a reaper would be more closely associated with autumn. Guess we should learn more in the rest of the show.
