Fantasy has always been my favorite genre. I have watched all the American series so many times I have them memorized. So I was excited to find the British fantasy/sci fi mini series, Bonekickers, on Blu Ray. Bonekickers brings together the ancient world and the modern world. In this exciting mini series, you will visit ancient Bath and get whisked away on a historical journey filled with mystery. Each episode brings you to a different world from King Author to World World 1. The cast gives a stellar performance, costumes and scenery are realistic and beautiful, and each episode will leave your craving more. Here is a little more about the series:
