Bonekickers


Bonekickers
[DVD Bonekickers]

The series follows Dr. Gillian Magwilde and her team of archaeologists finding treasures across the world. The series aired on BBC and was cancelled after only six episodes because of bad ratings. I surprisingly liked it anyway. The critics said it was like CSI meets Indiana Jones. It puts a twist on historical legends like the Knights Templar, the True Cross, Joan of Arc and Excalibur. Plus there's a lot of British humor in it so it's rather amusing. I enjoyed the humor and the fact and that they were explaining the history aspects. Each episode covers a different part of history then comes together in the end. [Note: If you like this you may also enjoy The series Bones on Fox, they find out peoples' histories through their bones or the Indiana Jones movies which is also about seeking treasure] -- recommended by Carrie K. - Bennett Martin Public Library and South Branch Library
