Decent showJul 26, 2010 I like the show, but wouldn't watch it without the DVDs. I may try the second season.
The biggest downside is the writing. It just isn't quite as perfect as other outstanding shows on television right now. One show that is similar but a step above Burn Notice is the new series, The Glades on A&E. Better writing make it a better viewing experience. If you like The Glades, you may like Burn Notice, but don't expect Burn Notice to blow you away.
Most Entertaining (i.e. best) series since Dallas!Jul 22, 2010 Seemingly out of nowhere I discovered this gem of a tv-series. I guess I have not been engaged in a series save Seinfeld since Dallas and via the internet I discover "Burn Notice" already into it's fourth season. I am quickly correcting this "wrong" and am just finishing the third season. Simply stated, for this viewer, it's the best series on tv currently and the best since Dallas IMHO.
Where to start? Well, a good story and "Burn Notice" has one: a black-listed super spy dumped without any reason in the middle of a sensitive deal with African bad guys. Michael Westen, our super spy, is curious and I am too. He ends up in Miami with all assets frozen and only his fierly ex-girlfriend, and spy, the beautiful Fiona. Scrambling to get on his feet, to find out "what the hell happened, and just get by becomes his everyday life...Until, he can get his old life back. In a nutshell, this is our story.
Truth be told this could easily have been a one-season fantastic show (think: "My Own Worst Enemy"), but the story, the cast, the actual mechanism of using the clever "voice-over" technique, and the sly ever present humor have all come together to build an audience that absolutely, like me, craves this show. Sure, it can only help that the backdrop is the very hip Miami Beach area where most of the action takes place.
What makes this show tick and continue, in spite of the commonality of many episodes, might just be the tremendous chemistry of the cast and the changing dynamics between the characters. It's hard to notice that the writers are not as constrained as in past similar shows as the weaving in of gritty realistic darkness sometimes quite abruptly serves as as notice it is not a simplistic comedy. There is some heavy handed morality issues rearing at regular intervals which serves to keep an "edge" to the whole affair. The writing really serves to still guide the entire proceedings and, actually, not the characters who are very strong and who invest the viewer, but with the caveat that the stories dictate. This is in no way a simple, one dimensional, tv show and I, for one, am absolutely hooked. There is so much more, like the excellent use and explanation of technolgy. Is the use of the technology on the level? Well, I can't say as I care because the way it's presented it very palatble and believable within the knowledge of this being a fictional representation of spy vs. spy.
If anything I may have said seems interesting to you I think you have only one option: Get the first season DVD from Amazon and be your own judge. You could waste alot more money going to the theater and hoping to see something as good yet hardly ever feeling you got your money's worth!
Satisfied.Jul 18, 2010 Great quality, cost effective and got in time. One word would summarized the whole process... Trust.
For my money, the best show on TV right nowJul 15, 2010 Burn Notice manages to blend spy thrillers and cinematic action with down-to-earth realism. Michael Westen isn't James Bond or Jason Bourne -- as he says in the very first episode, "Guns make you stupid. Better to fight your wars with duct tape. Duct tape makes you smart," just before he gets past an armored door using a stud finder and a roll of duct tape. Like a cool MacGuyver without the bad hair, Michael wins by out-thinking and out-planning his foes, not just by beating them up and shooting them (though there's plenty of that, too). And his running internal narration fills the audience in on WHY he's doing what he's doing. Yes, you too can turn a cell phone into an audio bug, and here's how!
The cast fits together like a glove and with amazing chemistry. His ex-girlfriend (and former IRA terrorist) Fionna adds impulsiveness and anger to the group, while his ex-military friend Sam (played by the amazing Bruce Campbell) alternates between the voice of reason and a hook for some skirt-chasing humor. The interplay and developing relationship between Michael and his mom (who swings between helping the crew -- sometimes even saving the day -- and being a serious thorn in Michael's side) is realistic and fun to watch. The relationships between all of the characters (but especially the one between Michael and his mom) grow and develop as the series goes on, which is one of the best reasons for watching it.
On each episode, someone comes to the team for help with a problem no one else can take care of (A-Team style). While the group is dealing with that, the overall "season plot" gets advanced a bit. In Season One, Michael is just trying to figure out who burned him and why. In Season Two, Michael is trying to get out from under their thumb. In Season Three, Michael has lost his protection and has deal with "real life" in the form of prying cops and old enemies. In Season Four, Michael has a broader view of what's going on, and is trying to stop a dangerous conspiracy. The "story arc" for each season is always advanced -- sometimes a little, sometimes a lot -- so you never feel like a show was just a throwaway they tossed together.
If you're not into Burn Notice, check it out, Thursdays at 9 on USA. If you are a fan, then what are you waiting for? Get this DVD set! The show is amazing!
Great showJul 05, 2010 Most TV these days is not worth even switching past with the remote, it is so bad. I have stopped even looking for good shows unless something catches my attention in another way.
I got turned on to this at Netflix and was blown away. This is the best TV show I have seen for a long, long time. Mix Miami Vice, Macguyver, the Bourne movies and add a touch of noir detective voice over, and you get the idea. The blend is fresh, exciting, enjoyable to watch, well written, shot, and acted. There is a great blend of drama, action, and comedy, and the writers manage to throw in plot twists and multiple story arcs which keep one guessing, yet do not feel contrived.
The characters seem real and believable. The mix and chemistry are great, and the development of characters and long term arcs is very well handled at all levels. Good job to everyone involved in this. In this day and age, it is not easy to create and maintain a good show like this.
Highly recommended. I am going to buy seasons 1 and 2, and am waiting anxiously for season 3.
UPDATE July 4, 2010:
I have now purchased the first three seasons and watched them all. The quality holds up nicely and the show remains really good. I am getting to see the 4th season on Hulu, and will buy it when it is out on DVD. The 4th season started out a bit slow, but seems to be getting back on track. Unless the quality of the show tanks, I will remain a fan and buy the series as it is available on DVD.
