Now, I don't know if any of you have watched Burn Notice on USA, but it's a pretty good show. Season 3 starts tonight at nine on USA. If you haven't seen the show it's basically about a former spy (Michael Westen) who's been burned (basically he needs to be dead), and he's trying to figure out who burned him. B/c he's burned he has no bank accounts, credit cards, or home really. He makes money by doing other jobs for people, that can't involve the police. He does these jobs with his ex-girlfriend and ex-IRA operative Fiona, and Sam, Michael's closest friend in Miami (where he was left after being burned). Sam is an old military intelligence contact and he's also watching Michael for the feds, which Michael knows.
I actually haven't seen all of the episodes from season 1, but once you understand the basis of the show it's pretty easy to follow and still enjoyable. And, it doesn't hurt that Fiona is pretty sexy and likes to get dirty. I've been meaning to buy season 1 but I'm fat and lazy, and broke. Three very bad things when you want to get something done. But I have seen Season 2, and I'm pretty much down with what is going on. So don't let it being Season 3 deter you, if you haven't seen it and may want to.
I know what many of you are thinking, but what about ABDC? I agree, ABDC is a very entertaining show, but it provides no plot or entertainment comparable to BN. Also, MTV replays ABDC 87 times within it's first showing, so missing any of the sweet freezes is not going to happen.
Just a recommendation. And, despite being about spies and the things they can do and the things they know, it's much more realistic than Nip/Tuck!
Chad's right, this is a pretty solid show. Leverage, i think on tnt, is kinda like it but not as good. all this spy shit totally gets me hard, not to mention the healthy dose of sexy chicks that are almost guaranteed to show up in any episode since it's based in miami
