I LOVE Character Development - Tumblr Posts

Bones has to be one of my favorite crime shows.

The crew is actually focused on their job, there's drama but not too much (and it's perfectly placed and mixed with other bits of drama), and there is inclusivity without it being so in-your-face.

But the thing that I love THE MOST is the

Character Development

It's perfect! It doesn't ruin the character's baseline personality and instead grows it. Naturally, there are some inconsistencies (fortunately for Bones it's ridiculously rare), but most of it is practically on-brand!

Bones really had it. Although the series' main focus is on Brennan, all the characters are treated equally with their own flaws and strengths and unique traits. They discover more about themselves, they learn as they go on, they gain more perspective.

And the best thing is, all of this development is so wonderfully subtle and spaced well enough that you don't realize it until you look back on previous episodes. Even Brennan, the most PIG-HEADED, DEFENSIVE, UNYIELDING character to exist in the show is actually able to grow and learn to be more flexible.
