Burn Notice - Season 1
Michael Westen is steamed, or, more precisely, burned. His career as a spy ends when he gets a 'burn notice,' the covert equivalent of a pink slip. Together with Fiona, his ex-girlfriend and IRA spy, and his friend Sam, also a former spy, Michael uses his special ops training to help others in trouble.

Brisk and witty.June 28, 2007
Burn is at its best when Westen is outwitting and outracing bad guys.June 28, 2007
A flashy, uneven series.June 28, 2007
Neither thrilling nor funny enough to earn notice.June 28, 2007
Entertaining, stylish, and, most of all, slight.June 28, 2007
This show has no illusions of being anything more than a solidly made and terrifically entertaining TV distraction, neat and crisp as citrus soda.June 28, 2007
It makes a smart, charmingly irreverent first impression, thanks to its pleasantly warped, deadpan writing and performing.June 28, 2007
The goal is little more than light, disposable summer entertainment - and the show may even get there, if it can strip away some of its more annoying drags.April 06, 2016
The series is not great television by any means, but it has a kind of breezy charm and sly wit that make it one of this summer's better new shows.June 28, 2007
Graced with a sly voiceover and strong supporting characters, it's the kind of breezy romp that dovetails nicely with the cabler's most popular fare and which manages to look more effortless than it surely is.
