a5c7b9f00b Michael Westen, a seasoned U.S. spy, is suddenly "burned", i.e. discredited, without any form of procedure. He survives by doing impossible jobs for desperate people in Miami, where his mother lives. Michael is usually aided by his ex-girlfriend Fiona and trusted former FBI informer Sam. A spy recently disavowed by the U.S. government uses his special ops training to help others in trouble. This is one of U.S.A. Network best original television series, I got into the series during the later off of Season 1 but when they rerun the first season in time for the season finale I got hooked. <br/><br/>Burn Notice has a strong balance of drama, comedy and action which works to make it a must watch.<br/><br/>The series started off with the series main protagonist Michael Westen played by Jeffrey Donovan who worked as a spy for the C.I.A. only to be given a Burn Notice where that means he was fired and left with nothing<br/><br/>no cash, no credit, no job history so they dump him in the city of Miami where he meets his trigger happy ex- girlfriend Fiona Glenanne played by Gabrielle Anwar he is more or less not thrill about his mess then he ends up having to meet his old friend who used to inform on him to the F.B.I. Sam Axe played by Bruce Campbell who ends up helping him look for work.<br/><br/>At the start of the series Michael uses his skills as a spy to help those with problems that no one else could save kind of like "The-A Team" with Sam and Fiona helping him with the jobs. <br/><br/>What makes Burn Notice a great show is that Jeffrey, Bruce and Gabrielle performances are very well done and they work perfectly and bounce off each other with their acting skills they also brought to life three of the best characters ever put on TV.<br/><br/>Almost every episode is a winner for the series as each episode feature a interesting Voice over with Michael talking about life as a spy and how spies would do and use some ideas to their favor. <br/><br/>The writing in each episode is very well crafted and you can never ever guess what would happened next as each episode makes you want more and turn it to see what will happen in the next episode. <br/><br/>The comedy in Burn Notice is also original my two favorite quotes in the series come from Michael in the episode "Hot Spot" "Oh Somebody's in trouble but it ain't me" and from the first episode "Drop me in the middle of the Gobi Desert Bury me in a cave on the moon and somehow she find away to call me and ask me for a favor" Then he screams into a pillow. <br/><br/>I mean the series just has something for everyone and you should give it a try with a creative story line, well crafted acting and performances from Jeffrey, Gabrielle and Bruce who work very well together this is one show to watch I accidentally watch this Pilot of BURN Notice - a TV series about a CIA Agent which gets a BURN NOTIC during a Op in Nigeria - instantly he loses all contacts and is on a hunt. He escapes to Miami and tries to find out - what happened? Why he gets BURNED and so on. Meanwhile he starts to work as "P.I" or "problemsolver".<br/><br/>As life plays - his mom comes, the Ex-Girlfriend and some new FED friends.<br/><br/>To be honest I liked this pilot - its nothing hilarious but well made. Just a plain straight story and some funny elements (Mom and so). Lets see how the next 2-3 episodes will be. Unfortunately, i expect that this series will be canceled because today "good" series will be canceled fast if they not be a hit instantly….as happened with "SMITH", "DayBreak", "Odyssey" and "Firefly".<br/><br/>After so much "CSI", "L Word", "Desperate Housewives" and other usual crap…I want to see some plain straight well made episodes without forensic ill stuff…and gay/woman chitchat.<br/><br/>My rating: 5 of 10 "a good start but we will see!"
