Burn Notice

That's right. I was off ill this week and picked Burn notice up on Amazon prime. Not being able to do much else I watched every season and was not disappointed. The comedy, the action and all the actors working perfectly together. I would never have thought to put them together but it's brilliant. Watch out for Bruce Campbell as the star of the show. You won't regret giving this a go.

I recently finished Burn Notice and I to say that I ended up absolutely loving it. I watched it here and there when it was on but never really had the time to commit to watching it. I finally watched it all the way through and I couldn't binge it fast enough. I watched all 7 seasons in record time. I'm actually mad at myself for waiting for so long to watch this. I just had no idea it was as good as it was. It's definitely far fetched and not believable but if you can just turn your brain off you'll have a great time watching this. The main cast of Jeffery Donovan, Gabrielle Awar and Bruce Campbell (and Coby Bell starting in season 4) all do an incredible job. The all have such great chemistry between the 4 of them. If you're looking for a fun show to binge then give this a try...you won't be disappointed.

Burn Notice was such a great and underrated show. Most shows get old or repetitive after it's been on a while but not this one, it's absolutely terrific right up until the last episode. It tells the story of burnt spy Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) as he's stuck in his hometown of Miami after being framed. He will do anything to find out who did it. I'm the meantime he helps helpless people who really need his expertise to help them. He has the help of his ex/current girlfriend in ex IRA spy Fiona Glenanne (Gabrielle Awar), his best friend and former spy Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) and new friend and ex spy he accidentally burnt himself Jesse Porter (Coby Bell). He also has to deal with overbearing mother and sometimes loser brother. Obviously some of it is ridiculous unbelievable but it's a thrilling show that has action, comedy, drama, etc., all in one series! I just started watching it for a 2nd time during this lockdown and forgot just how entertaining this show really was. I really do miss it!

I watched this show when it first came out and now i'm doing a full on binge-watch 14 years later.

If you like clever, well written, and spy stuff, you're probably gonna like this show a lot.

The narration style really gives Burn Notice that extra edge. So good.

Jeffrey Donovan is an engaging lead in an interesting program - which combines an interesting dramatic story line with a good balance of lightness and humor -- much like the outstanding "Monk," also a USA Network production.

The premise has been well-publicized; he's a crack covert operator, who's now been ostracized by his agency, and is seeking to learn why, as well as exist amidst the barriers they've erected in terms of his credit and finances, availability of former colleagues, and while he is under surveillance from multiple agency operatives.

During the course of this program, he also assists a man whose former boss - a powerful citizen - has placed both his livelihood and son in jeopardy.

Again, done with both serious drama and whimsy, this is a show which is a breath of proverbial "fresh air," especially among the lame quiz programs and reality shows impossible to avoid today.

I entered this comment a year ago, upon seeing initial episode of the series. In continuing to watch, I've found Jeffrey Donovan's performances and character to remain interesting and engaging, the remaining cast excellent, and the episodes, overall, also interesting and well-written. Along with "Monk" and the recently-added "In Plain Sight," the USA Network is producing, in my opinion, better fare than the four networks.
