An action drama where an intelligence agent receives a "burn notice" while on assignment in Nigeria.
The title of the show refers to the notices issued by intelligence agencies to announce the dismissal of agents who are now deemed unreliable.
When Michael Westen receives one of these "burn notices" while on assignment, he is dropped in Miami to fend for himself with no money or credentials to his name.
In order to fund his investigation into who sabotaged him and why, Michael takes on work as a freelance private investigator.

I just discovered Burn Notice a couple weeks ago ... enticed by an article in TV Guide. I set my DVR to record ALL shows ... and have been really enjoying this show from its pilot on ... thankfully, in chronological order. The main character is like the offspring of MacGyver and Alias, with little doses of The Man from UNCLE and Maxwell Smart rolled in. And I've been a fan of Bruce Campbell since his many appearances in Xena and Hercules, not to mention his Evil Dead days. And who can not fall in love with the striking beauty and tough-as-nails persona of Fiona as adeptly protrayed by Gabrielle Anwar. Despite my newfound love of this show, I can understand if some viewers get inured to the same old "save someone from bad guys" structure of the show. However, the main character's ongoing efforts to resolve the "burn notice" thematic issue has (so far in the limited number of shows I've seen) keeps the show from becoming too formulaic. My advice: Just sit back and enjoy!!

This was a good show but it had run its course. I actually thought it could/should have ended after Season 6 since he found out who burned him and ended up back in the game.

Too bad this was cancelled - I thought it was a really good program with lots of twists and turns. Oh well, guess I'll just have to watch the reruns :(
