Season four of Bones finds the show in particularly rich form. Brennan and Booth have a variety of different cases to tackle, as you’d expect, backed up with exposition about earlier events and many interesting new developments. It’d be remiss to spoil them here, but Bones, to its credit, manages to be as fresh and as interesting as when it first arrived. What helps gives the show a distinction is its marriage of genres. At its heart, it’s a hard-nailed crime show, but it effortlessly weaves in comedy, romance and some very impressive twists, with an undercurrent of unpredictability that serves it well. The writers clearly had their thinking caps on for season four, too, and while there are one or two lulls, they’re easily compensated for by some very impressive episodes. The relationship between Brennan and Booth clearly sits at the core of the show, and even that--appreciating that television has taken us down similar roads in the past--is interesting to watch, and well realised. Bones might, at first glance, be easy to dismiss as just another crime show. But there’s genuinely impressive work going on here, and some very smart writing. If it’s at this level of quality four seasons in, then Bones has a very bright future ahead of it. --Jon Foster

characterful, intellectual and generally great
The series starts off just where the last one finished and there is no transition effect from the ethos of the last 3 series to this one at all that you might find in other shows, so instantly there is no dissapointment due to small niggling changes. The episodes are varied and interesting as always and there are some that stand out from the rest as being pure brilliance, one of the old villains makes a re-appearance and some lose ends are tied up nicely. The series for me can be summed up as a character study of sorts, not so much focus is put on an undlerlying story as in other series but that doesn't take anything away from this one, the characters instead get a lot more detailed and as a result a warm richness shines through the series which gets brighter and brighter all the way to the end.The story between Boothe and Bones intensifies dramatically and the link with sweets brings him into his own nicely. their relationship begins to fire up toward the end of the season and the surprise ending leaves you gasping for more! One other really nice touch is that there are more than one interns looking for Zacks job and this gives you a chance to see 5 other really diverse characters that add loads to the comedy and also make the rest of the team stand out in the process as veterans of the show.My only two criticisms are that the episodes can blend into one another about half way through the season towards three-quaters through, as there is no underlying story apart from the character development, and the lack of story with Zack after you realise one frankly brutal fact about him in the last series. You still get the feel of progression but at a very leisurely pace, this only picks up in the last 3 or so episodes, then it gets amzingly great again.Overall this is great viewing and the last 2 episodes are extemely memorable and some of the greatest Drama this show has produced. not to mention the effects which can sometimes leave you wondering how people making this show can still have an apetite! I cannot wait for season 5!

Bones - Season 4 - Best yet
This is a television programme peaking, it is definately at its best here in all 26 episodes of season 4. If you like Bones, this is the season not to be missed.The characters are now all nicely fleshed out and the series cracks on with some great dialogue and ingenious stories. Seely Booth continues to look ever more at ease as the wise cracking FBI all action hero with a heart of gold. And Temperance Brennan rides along side him as the genius anthropologist with shockingly poor social skills from spending too many years too deeply immersed in the sterile world of academia and science.It works very well, with high production values, terrific and wonderfully gory special effects and attention to detail throughout every script, with hardly ever a duff character. Although... I have to say that I believe the character of Angela Montenegro has run it's course. She adds very little to this season and it would not suprise me to see her fade out of season five.And one other small gripe - Episode 26, the season finale was a stinker. To my mind the only epsiode that didn't grip me or offer any real level of suspense. As a cliffhanger it finished the season with a dull wimper. I imagine the cast all thought it was great fun, but NO, bad bones, stop it, stick to what you do well.So, I've docked a star for the final episode, but other than that top quality programming. It is a series in its prime.
