Bones.
I have always enjoyed the novels of Kathy Reichs about a forensic anthropologist named Temperance Brennan - they are a bit gory in parts - but informative and eminently readable. Was interested to learn they had been adapted for the TV series - "Bones" - and, while Westie sitting, had a look on my friend's TV.
What a disappointment!
In the books Brennan is a knowledgeable, well focused and efficient, crime solving character - a leader.
In the TV show they portray her as a brainless air-head unable to function without at least one man hovering over her.
Why do 'they' do that?
Are americans really so afraid of strong women?
Had I seen the TV series first I would never have bothered with the books.
