Show Summary

  • Returning Series

Spies don't get fired; they get burned. Michael Westen has received a "burn notice". Dumped in his hometown of Miami, Florida, he's been left in the cold with no money, no job and no information. With no job history, cash or credit, he becomes a private eye with the skills he picked up as an intelligence operative. With the help of his old friend, the drinking, womanizing Sam Axe, and his gun-running, trigger-happy ex-girlfriend Fiona, he makes people's problems go away. But when he's done, Michael's biggest problem becomes finding out who burned him and trying to get back into the game. Burn Notice is produced by FOX Television Studios in association with Fuse Entertainment and filmed on locations in Miami.

    "Poor"
    By Tsunamijhoe, Feb 02, 2012 Report Abuse
    I have followed this show since the beginning, but damn has the writing gone downhill from s4 to s5. I have completely stopped watching this show as it is getting increasingly ridiculous.

    It was fun to begin with, the way michael,sam and fiona went out of their way to not kill anyone,but this is turning ***ed here in season 5. Just watch the episode with the milita,where they have to rescue a boy from a compound,it was the dumbest episode ever.

    Take that and add the really ***ed cia story line,where everyone knows who he is working for,and he seems to always play the same dude when "undercover". I am done with this showmoreless

    Michael Weston is without a doubt the coolest and most awesome person on the planet, not to mention he's a decent guy. he helps people, but he's always funny and he always does at least one amazingly awesome stunt per episode. not to mention his glasses are SO GREAT. his narrations make me wish that i was a spy so that i could know all of that. The plotlines are always gripping. he's trying to figure out who burned him, and he has to go through all of these steps to figure it out, and there's always a twist. i love this show because it's entertaining, funny, awesome, and because i have a huge crush on the main character. two words: WATCH IT.moreless

  • Loved the vintage Dodge in the 'A Dark Road' episode. Not much else.

    I've seen bits and pieces of 'Burn Notice' from time to time until today, when I tracked down the 'A Dark Road' episode and watched my first complete episode. What else can I say about this one except..."Cool car." I get all warm and melty inside whenever I see a vintage Dodge Charger or Challenger in mint condition, but it pains me to see a car like that in the hands of a complete butt head. Like the car, everything else about 'Burn Notice' seemed to reek of mid to late seventies scriptwriting and had little to hold my attention. If you want to find out how I feel about 'Burn Notice', just read my previous review on the show 'Human Target'. Same criticisms apply, and will save me some wear and tear on my keyboard. Did ol' Jawsie Wawzie wake up on the wrong side of the bed today with a hot rivet up his works? Possibly, but no...I stand behind my views on hackneyed nonsense like this. Cool car though.moreless

    michael was an intelligence operative basically he was a spy.

    one day he got a burn notice bascailly saying he was fired.

    micahel was dumped in his hometwon of miami,florida.

    micahel has no money no nothing.

    so michael decides to use his skills to help innocent people.

    michael gets help from his old friend,an ex girlfriend,and more people as the story goes on.

    so as micahel is using his skills to save people and bringing down bad guys. his also out to find out who got him fired and why.

    jeffrey donovan does a great job playing michael.jeffrey can carry a show being a main character.

    jeffrey does all his stunts which is nice to see.

    the show has great writing,and lots of action.

    the show is really good but the only problem i have with this show is that there not alot of fighting scenes(martial arts) and its not as bloody as i would like(people dying from shoot outs).moreless

  • The most realistic spy movie/series ever!

    9.0
    "Superb"
    By Gera777, Nov 23, 2011 Report Abuse
    When I started to watch the series I didn'tlaymy hopes on this show. But then I started to realize Mike's thoughts and advice. And it was like "Yeah, that's true" or "hat one is gonna work".
    The plot of burned spy is quite new. But the plot of the spy thrown intodaily routine is really great and innovative.
    I really enjoyed all episodes/cases. The characters are really cool. "Trigger-happy girlfriend" is outstanding.Sam Axe is really funny. And Mike is best spy I ever see.
    Maybe he doesn't kill armies of enemies like James Bond. But, hey, he is a human like all of us with his own issues only with special skills.
    And this makes him the best and the most realistic spy ever!moreless
