Started watching Burn Notice last night. The show is on the USA Network, so you know it's not going to win any awards for writing or photography. It's not really sophisticated or even intelligent TV, but it is fun. Really fun.
The main character, Michael Weston, is an ex-CIA officer trying find out who issued his 'burn notice" and why he was blacklisted so that he can put his life back together. Weston's voiceover narration explaining the minutiae of spycraft is easily the most interesting part of the show.
And it's hard not to want to watch anything that features the legendary Bruce Campbell. The show is set in Miami and it wouldn't be hard to believe that the Chamber of Commerce is flipping the bill for production with all the bump shots of the glass skyscapers, palm tree lined beaches and art deco hotels, but that's part of the pleasure of Burn Notice.
