Who hasn’t dreamed of wanting to be a spy? There is a whole genre of books and movies based on our obsession with this profession, with their ability to blend in anywhere, speak a variety of languages like a native, dress fabulously, get out of any situation and generally be a hero. Burn Notice highlights all these attributes of being a spy as well as showcasing how spy skills can be used to help ordinary people. Michael Weston is a spy with a charitable side and when his charitable side isn’t in evidence, you can bet his mom, girlfriend or best friend will turn him back that way. The show is filled with action, humor and interesting characters. I have a hard time deciding who is my favorite supporting character: the hot girlfriend who can blow up anything, the hard-drinking, womanizing former navy best friend or the chain-smoking, wise but funny mom. It is always an enjoyable hour of television and sun-drenched Miami set makes for a beautiful backdrop.
The fifth season started last night and will be playing at 9 pm on Thursdays. The initial premise of the show was that Michael had been blacklisted from his job as a spy, left in Miami and was trying to determine the identity of who got him blacklisted. Over the four seasons the storyline has evolved quite a bit and I am interested to see where they will take the fifth season.
