Watch Burn Notice

Burn Notice was an American television series that aired on the USA Network from June 2007 to September 2013. Created by Matt Nix, the show starred Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westen, a former intelligence officer who finds himself “burned,” or blacklisted, by his own agency.

The show follows Westen, who is stuck in Miami with no job or resources, as he tries to find out who burned him and why. Along the way, he works as a freelance spy-for-hire, assisting clients with their own problems while trying to piece together the mystery of his own predicament.

To help him navigate the treacherous waters of espionage, Westen is joined by a rag-tag team of allies, including his ex-girlfriend Fiona Glenanne (Gabrielle Anwar), a former terrorist who becomes his go-to expert on explosives and firearms; his best friend Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell), a washed-up Navy SEAL who is always up for a good time and is an expert on local Miami politics; and his mother Madeline Westen (Sharon Gless), a chain-smoking hypochondriac who is fiercely loyal to her son.

As the series progresses, Westen and his team take on a wide range of cases, from fighting local gangsters to taking on international terrorists. Along the way, they also run afoul of a number of enemies, including agents working for the agency that burned Westen, as well as rival spies and mercenaries.

One of the hallmarks of the show was its unique blend of humor and high-stakes action. The witty banter between Westen, Fiona, and Sam provided a welcome counterpoint to the intense drama of their missions, while the show’s signature voice-over narration offered insights into Westen’s thought process and added to the show’s playful tone.

Another notable feature of Burn Notice was its attention to detail when it came to the spy craft. The show employed a team of technical advisors to ensure that the various gadgets and techniques used by the characters were as accurate and realistic as possible.

Throughout its seven-season run, Burn Notice proved to be a critical and commercial success. The show was praised for its compelling characters, sharp writing, and high-octane action, and earned several award nominations, including a Primetime Emmy nomination for Sharon Gless.

Ultimately, the series came to an end in 2013, with the finale leaving fans satisfied and wrapping up many of the show’s lingering plot threads. Although it is no longer on the air, Burn Notice remains a beloved fan favorite, known for its smart storytelling, memorable characters, and playful spirit.

Burn Notice is a series that is currently running and has 7 seasons (113 episodes). The series first aired on April 17, 2011.
