Finally, Burn Notice is back on UK screens. Playing out like a tongue-in-cheek cross between James Bond and The A-Team, it's fun television and an easy watch. A great antithesis to something like Treme and Mad Men both of which are amazing but require you to follow everything diligently. With Burn Notice you can just switch off and enjoy the fun.
With the exception of Gabrielle Anwar's Irish accent for the first couple of episodes, nothing has jarred with the series. Each week there's a happy resolution, which is probably why it reminds me so much of the A-Team. The bad guys always get their comeuppance, which is great escapism after you've watched something like The Wire. All-in-all, it's harmless fun and thoroughly entertaining.
Plus it's got the man, the legend Bruce "Groovy" Campbell in it. What more could you ask for?
