Burn Notice settles into a satisfying groove in its second season. The cast is cool and confident, the writers have mastered the mix of stand-alone stories and the season-long hook, and the blend of retro-70s flavor with 21st century self-awareness is delicious. Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) still hasn.t figured out who .burned. him–i.e., got him blacklisted as a covert agent and left him trapped in Miami. But he has uncovered a lead in the form of Carla (Tricia Helfer, Battlestar Galactica), a mysterious manipulator who assigns Michael unexplained tasks. But if he resists these tasks, everyone he loves is at risk–including his mom, Madeline (Sharon Gless, Cagney & Lacey), his sleek and violent ex-girlfriend Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar, Scent of a Woman), and his squirrelly best pal, Sam (Bruce Campbell, Evil Dead II).
In each episode, while wrestling with Carla.s ongoing schemes, Michael gets drawn into helping some hapless innocent, such as a waitress being stalked by a drug dealer, an accountant to a rap mogul with a gangster background, or a father who.s been scammed out of the money he needs for his sick son. While these smartly-plotted stories unfold, the true pleasure of the show is listening to Michael reveal techniques for forging checks, explain how to make a crude x-ray machine, or describe the active ingredients of pepper spray–all the tricks of the spy trade. Are they genuine? Who knows and who cares! They.re completely entertaining, clever enough to be plausible, and they go hand-in-hand with Michael.s arsenal of cheesy accents and cheerful quips. Burn Notice: Season Two features a good dose of deleted scenes, chatty audio commentaries by cast and crew, a genuinely charming gag reel (featuring Donovan doing a little soft-shoe), and a genuinely illuminating featurette with the show.s creator, Matt Nix, describing the process of preparing to direct an episode. All in all, it.s an excellent package, ready for delivery. –Bret Fetzer

Holly Hunter seems to have brought her acting down a notch which is great news for the viewer the show has promise and now it seems Holly is a believer she is letting go and letting God.
The show is good certainly lots of possibilities but Holly Hunters overacting was making the viewer unconfortable, this may be a better season than last year

Fairly routine television with almost no situation having even a shred of semblance to real life. You might call it cartoon-ish, with a Miami Beach backdrop.

I really really like this show last season. My favorite part were the building relationships between people, the loyalty they all have for each other. Also, quite funny at times. Why I gave it 3 stars is that, like another reviewer, I did not like how they handled Michael’s relationship with Fiona in the first episode of this season. It felt false, hollow, forced. It just made me irritated with Michael for his stubborn refusal to be happy where he is. To some degree Fiona is right about him – he always runs away from committed relationships. And he is obviously deceiving himself – he does care for her. I guess I just did not see the need for doing that to further the story. Anyway, like the show for the most part.

I love the show’s characters. Everyone seems to fall in place naturally. The first episode of the new season was packed with action amd suspence but I feel it was ruined by the breakup of the main characters. Why couldn’t they have left it the way it was. Everyone knew that Michael’s character is emotionally bankrupt when it comes to personal relationships and we can all feel him on that point because of his line of work but the occasional heat between him and Fiona was hot and sexy and it made him seem human and heteral sexual. Now, this new twist makes him seem like a gay man playing a heteral sexual man and the love seens made him feel uncomfortable and forced. If he is gay in real life that is fine but please bring back the relationship with Michael and Fiona! I think not having an occational love seen will make him seem to unreal. After all the most famous spy character in the world (007) always has a beatiful women by his side even if she is trying to kill him, it keeps him real and not like some half a** super hero!
