In my injury addled state of boredom I've sought many ways to fill my time, so over the last 11 days I watched 181 episodes of the great show Bones. I caught it on sky living while channel surfing and didn't pay much attention until the interactions between the two protagonists made me laugh so I started to pay attention. The episode was your typical procedural but the dynamic relationship was refreshing, I liked it enough to decide to watch it from the beginning.
The first season hinted at the typical will they won't they story line but the protagonist didn't reveal their true feelings for each other until season 5. They eventually become a couple in season 7 which left enough time for the show to grow into something more than their relationship. The show is about the murders, rational vs. irrational thought and behaviour, the supporting cast and the engrossing serial killers. One such serial killer got under my skin so much so that I was anxious when the characters of the show was suffering from his torment, thats when you know you're invested into a show.
The best thing about binging on a show is not having to wait weeks and months to watch the next episode, this allows for me to see the gradual change in character development. Thats something that can pass you by if you watch it on a weekly basis. I condensed 9 years of great television into 11 days which afforded me the luxury of instant gratification, I'am now suffering from withdrawal symptoms as I have to wait 5 days till the next episode airs. In the meantime I've been re-watching my favourite scenes from old episodes.
