Has anyone here heard of the USA show Burn Notice? It's about the adventures of a burned (read fired) spy named Michael Westen, played by Jeffery Donovan, dropped off by the CIA in Miami and his quest to clear his name and rejoin the CIA. Along the way he meets some old friends, Sam Axe, an ex-Navy Seal spying on our hero for the FBI (with Michael's support), played by Bruce Campbell and Michael's ex-IRA former girlfriend, Fiona Glennane, played by Gabrielle Anwar. Michael also goes to his family for support and assistance, when he's desperate. Namely his mother Madeline Westen, played by Sharon Gless and his little brother Nate, played by Seth Peterson.
Mikey also makes a few new friends, like Sugar, the drug dealer who tried to kill Michael and ended up with a bullet in his thigh for his troubles. He later contacted Weston looking for help, not for himself but for his brother Dougie, who'd fallen in with a gang of vicious thieves willing to use him as a pawn and then dispose of him. Omar, the leader of a small street gang that grew with our hero's backing. This Omar went from stealing car radios to stealing food and medicine for his barrio and selling stolen electronics to pay his crew and for the up keep of his commuinities shops and homes. Then there's Jesse Porter, played by Cody Bell, the former intelligence agent Michael Westen accidentally burns in season four.
Add to that the list of not friendly acquaintances and innocents to help or rescue our hero, Michael Westen has his work cut out for him. It airs every Thursday night at 9 PM / 8 PM Central. So, does anyone want to talk about the show?
