TV Review: Burn Notice (USA)
Jun 24, 2007 Burn Notice, Reviews
In the world of spies, when someone gets a burn notice, it means they’ve been blacklisted within the industry. This is what happens to Michael Westin in USA’s new summer series, ‘Burn Notice.’ Based on the pilot episode, I can say with confidence that this show has the perfect blend of action, witty dialogue, intriguing mysteries and bikini-clad beach girls to make up a decent summer TV show.
The pilot begins with Westin (played by Jeffrey Donovan) on a job in Southern Nigeria. He’s about to make some kind of financial exchange with a bunch of criminals when he calls one of his associates to make the transaction. Instead of transferring the money, they tell him he’s received a burn notice and they can’t do business with him anymore. Westin knows what this means but he has no idea how it happened. Who would do this to him and why? This is the set up for the series.
