    Storyline

    Edit
    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. —KGF Vissers

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The scar under Jeffrey Donovan's left eye is written into the show as something Michael's abusive father gave him "to remember him."
    • Goofs
      During the opening montage, we see Michael boarding a tricycle-gear aircraft, but the aircraft seen flying out is a DC-3, a tail-dragger.
    • Quotes

      Michael Westen: [voice-over] My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy. Until...

      voice on phone: [phone rings] We got a burn notice on you. You're blacklisted.

      Michael Westen: [voice-over] When you're burned, you've got nothing: no cash, no credit, no job history. You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in.

      Michael Westen: Where am I?

      Fiona Glenanne: Miami.

      Michael Westen: [voice-over] You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone who's still talking to you. A trigger-happy ex-girlfriend...

      Fiona Glenanne: Shall we shoot them?

      Michael Westen: [voice-over] An old friend who used to inform on you to the FBI...

      Sam Axe: You know spies... bunch of bitchy little girls.

      Michael Westen: [voice-over] Family too...

      Sam Axe: [phone rings] Hey, is that your Mom again?

      Michael Westen: [voice-over] ... if you're desperate.

      Madeline Westen: Someone needs your help, Michael!

      Michael Westen: [voice-over] Bottom line? Until you figure out who burned you... you're not going anywhere.

    The best show I've seen in years
    Without question, "Burn Notice" is the coolest show on TV since the first episodes of Alias. I was totally engaged the moment Michael got his burn notice when he called to make the wire transfer--seeing the wheels turn for that beat before smiling and turning to the Russian mobster was sublime. This show has edge and attitude to burn, no pun intended, and I hope it keeps it--the only thing that could dull it would be any hint of silliness (Bruce Campbell's character needs to demonstrate some ass-kicking spy mojo somewhere along the line). Matt Nix: You've done a fantastic job on the writing, great casting (Jeff Donovan is a "Where'd he come from?" find), locations, etc. Keep the edge. The first two shows were great, can't wait to see what's next.
