Catching Up On: BURN NOTICE

I just finished up Season 1 of Burn Notice, and while I really wanted to like the show, I just ended up feeling indifferent. At first glance, Burn Notice is my kind of program; spies, private investigation, cons, and so forth and so on. I had high hopes for it, but Season 1 was just missing something.

In my opinion, the aspect of the show that was the weakest was the cast. I can understand why people get all gooey over Jeffery Donovan as Michael Westen, but to me he doesn't have the charisma to pull of this type of character. He tries to be the suave, secret spy act, but more often than not he's just wooden. His constant Spy 101 voice overs also get really old really fast.
