The show was never 100% original, in that odd partners and detective shows are a penny on television.
But it was generally enjoyable, although to be honest the episodes are very similar to one another - can't escape that, in that it's identify cause of death and catch the bad guy/gal every week.
But it should have ended when Bones and Booth became a couple. And given the stretched out will they/won't they story, that was more or less rushed through in a few minutes.
Once together, it became more about babies and family discussions. Not exactly a crime series, and it felt out of place and frankly boring.
The visit to the UK killed it for me more than anything. Stereotyped to high hell, and there's no way you'd get a vintage mini car from a hire firm either (other than those renting classic cars). Cringeworthy television at its worst.
If it had stuck to 5 seasons, I'd have rated it higher. However, Season 6 onward killed it for me.
A shame that shows like this carry on (and on and on and on), yet other shows get cancelled halfway through their first run.
