Passing its 100th episode this year and now shooting its 6th season, the darkly amusing procedural BONES continues to fascinate viewers with atypical murders solved in an atypical manner.
The storyline:

It’s a tortured but solid partnership between Brennan, the brilliant logical empiricist and Booth, the intuitive humanist.
The permanent sets are centered in both worlds.
