Okay, voice of dissention here.
I think the show is okay, but not brilliant. It is outclassed completely by the CSI franchise and by "Criminal Minds", and here in the UK by "Silent Witness" and "New Tricks". The cases and their resolutions aren't particularly involving and the show relies on the chemistry of its cast to move the story along.
And this is where I become a big target - I think the Brennan/Booth chemistry is non-existant. Boreanaz and Deschenel look like they are trying too hard to have any sort of dynamism and I personally find them the least interesting part of the show and given that they are the main characters, it detracts from my enjoyment. The enjoyment I get are from Brennan's team, who genuinely do spark off each other very well. I especially like the character of Hodgins who ahs went from a classic paranoid conspiracy geek with arrogance and issues to a very likeable and genuinely caring guy. I also like Sweets, as he offers a fresh dynamic.
I agree that the bisexual storyline was glossed over far too much and could have done the story good to have a different sexual dynamic going on.
Sorry, but I just think there is better out there. Its a watchable show, but it could be so much better.
