Being the location of the world's most advanced scientific think tank means that the town of Eureka has to deal with more than its fair share of "situations". But neither the big scientific brainiacs who run the show, or the more everyday members of the sheriff's department that tries to keep them safe are prepared for their newest challenge: a corporate high flyer who has been brought in to drive efficiency and improve their financial bottom line.
Though even if they successfully navigate this unexpected and unwelcome newcomer, it's not like things are going to be all that quiet, what with Sheriff Carter's bohemian sister turning up, ancient Egyptian curses, and the prospect of visitors who are Not Of This Earth.
In short: it's more of the same for our quirky cast of Eureka favourites, and if you have been enjoying the show to date then you will almost certainly consider to do so. The plot's aren't always the most deep, but there's a good blend of humour and drama, and the on screen talent have plenty of charm.
This season also abandons the previously long-running "artefact" storyline, which I can't say I am at all disappointed about. It never much clicked for me and just seemed to be more or less one of those generic "oooh mysterious" macguffin plots that could never pay off on all its "oooh mystery" foreshadowing. This season instead replaces that with a couple of much more concrete multi-episode arcs. I approve!
