Re-watching Burn Notice... again.

This is without question my favourite show ever.

I came across it channel hopping way back in 2009. I noticed Bruce Campbell so decided to watch it, was hooked from then on.
I thought the writing was snappy and clever and it had a great cast, especially Jeffrey Donovan as the main character. The overall story arc was done very well and I liked that it showed bits of spy tradecraft (think MacGyver) to help the characters complete whatever problem they are facing.

Is anyone else a fan of this show?

I've watched the entire series and liked it, but I don't think I'd ever go out of my way to rewatch any of it, much less all of it. Definitely worth watching for Campbell, at least.

I watched it pretty religiously for awhile (mainly because I'm a Bruce Campbell fan), but life got in the way and I don't think I ever finished it.

i only watched few episodes of the show

I never got too into the show, but I loved The Fall of Sam Axe movie spin off. It seemed to be written more for Bruce fans than the Burn Notice crowd.

The plot is plausible enough, given all the spy/deep state stuff we've been accustomed to for a couple of decades.

Jeffrey Donovan is a vaguely strange guy as an actor, so he fits the part well. Ironically he's also starring in a film in my watch list: Let Him Go (2020), with Kevin Costner, and Diane Lane, in which Donovan plays a completely different type of character.

He seems to shine in "smart-ass" roles, but he likely has a wider range than I would have thought.

We've only seen the first several episodes of the first season, so it's hard to tell where it will go. But it's nice to have a lengthy series to fall back on in between other series which come and go.
