Indeed this was Mr Boreanaz's big break. The writing is as good as The West Wing but with more realism. It's funnier than South Park, and more inventive in the language. It has three or four of the best episodes of TV ever. It rescued a friend from the depths of depression. That said the first series is iffy and all a bit monster of the week, it should have finished at the end of the fifth series but it is fundamentally magnificent
