Amazon.co.uk Review
Beginning with the death of a senator and ending with a marriage, the second season of Bones builds on the momentum created during the first season. The second season centres on the collaborations between FBI special agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz, Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), whom Booth has nicknamed "Bones." While Booth doesn't completely believe in Bones' method, he can't argue with her success rate at solving crimes. As for Bones, she is meticulous at what she does and is a borderline genius, but she has issues. Seemingly oblivious to her own good looks, she is all but socially inept. Booth may be blunt, but he's comfortable dealing with the public. Bones, on the other hand, would rather be sequestered away with the dead, trying to figure out what happened before their uncertain deaths. Of course, while viewers can see that Bones and Booth would be a perfect couple, the characters aren't quite there yet. Their friendship becomes a little more complicated this season when it turns out that Bones' new demanding boss, Dr. Camille Saroyan (Tamara Taylor), is a former girlfriend of Booth's. And the two women aren't getting along. Still, everyone is able to work together to solve a series of crimes, such as identifying the remains of an all but unidentifiable teenage boy and dealing with a serial killer who is emulating the crimes depicted in Bones' latest mystery novel. (Yes, she's not only a brilliant scientist but also an ace author.) Like many television dramas where forensic evidence is a driving force in the plots, Bones offers up the gross-out autopsies. But it also serves up a lot of humanity in the way the characters interact with one another. It is giving nothing away to reveal that Bones and Booth are not the couple getting married in the season finale. But the episode does reveal that beneath their tough exteriors, marriage and all that it implies is something they wouldn't mind... perhaps even with each other. --Jae-Ha Kim
Synopsis
Detective Bones and Booth create undeniable chemistry and humour while solving crimes using frequently clashing investigative styles.
F.B.I. Agent Seeley Booth teams up with forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan to solve some of the most baffling and bizarre crimes ever. While Booth uses clues from the living, witnesses and suspects, Brennan gathers evidence from the dead, relying on her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the bones of the victims. Their different investigative styles cause the two to frequently clash, creating an undeniable chemistry and just the right touch of dark humour.

I thought series 1 was good, but wow! Series 2 is even better.
The chemistry between Booth and Bones grows,despite her having a love interest! The remaining characters grow and develop and there's a new boss at top to replace Dr. Goodman. Dr. Camille Saroyan comes in with all guns smoking and past relationship with Booth.
The story lines, I think, are stronger and make more use of all the characters. Just brilliant. Rent or buy, but watch it!

I said on my review of season 1 that "tv" Temperance Brennan is different from "book" Temperance in a number of ways - but fans of the books will find much to love in this incarnation of our girl as she and FBI partner Booth continue to solve cases in which bones are the only clue available.
The start of the season sees a new boss, Cam, arrive at the Institute. Not only is she very hands on, she is a former love of Booth, and Tempe and Cam do not hit it off in the early episodes. The new character is well written and softens as the season progresses until it is hard to imagine the team without her input. Meantime Zac undergoes a make-over in order to secure a permanent place on the staff once he gains his doctorate, and Hodkins and Angela begin a tentative office romance.
Booth and Brennan continue to spar verbally with each other and some of their exchanges will have you laughing out loud. When a fellow agent, Sully, begins a relationship with Tempe, Booth's feelings are confused - but as is observed, Tempe "is rubbish at being a girl" and her own complicated life does not bode well for a permanent relationship. Tempe continues to put her foot in it socially, particularly when a case involves Booth's Catholic religion.
Among the classy episodes are 'The Girl with the Curl' about child beauty Queens, (with a wonderful scene of Tempe trying to talk to a group of 8 year olds at a dance class!), 'Aliens in a Spaceship' which has Tempe and Hodgkins buried alive by a serial killer, and 'The Headless Witch in the Woods' which has more than a nod to The Blair Witch Project.
Guest stars this season include Stephen Fry as a laid back, insightful Psychiatrist whom Booth must see after he shoots an ice cream van, and Ryan O'Neal as Tempe's estranged and mysterious father whose elusive character comes into his own when Booth is targetted by the Mob. And, once again, Angela's instantly recognisable father - from ZZ Top - pops up!
21 episodes, some with commentary, outtakes and 2 featurettes, this series is a must for fans of CSI style drama and taughtly written crime shows. Witty, warm and laced with edge of seat action, Bones Season 2 is a brilliant second season of a hit series.

I might have to wait until October before I can watch the whole season through,but at least I know the wait will be worth it.
Season two has enthralling story lines,love the episode where bones is buried in the car, almost a touch of the MacGyver's,fantastic!!
The cast are familar faces,and the humour,and oddities are all there. Zack almost grows up and there's even a romance, what more can anyone want.If you buy you will not be disappointed.
