I’ve been a fan since season one. Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) was a spy and after ten years of employment he was burned, the basis of the show is him obsessively trying to find out who burned him and why. In between and during his investigation he takes the time to help the everyday man/woman with their life problems. His crew consists of his kick ass girlfriend Fionna (Gabrielle Anwar); she is an expert with bombs and guns. Best friend Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) is an ex Navy Seal and has a lot of informants. Relatively new to the crew is spy Jesse Porter (Coby Bell), because of Michael he was also burned and still not sure if he can trust him. Madeline (Sharon Gless) is Michael’s mom and surrogate mom to the crew. She is one of my favorite characters, she is a no nonsense mom who has been introduced to Michaels crazy world and down to help where she can. Sharon Gless played Cagney of Cagney and Lacey. For those youngins out there, this was a detective show in the 80’s staring two women. Which was huge for that time. It was an awesome show. Michaels’ brother is Nate (Seth Peterson) who is constantly needed his ass saved.
There all beautiful looking people and the setting is the sexy Miami. They rarely kill anyone but use a lot of explosives. The explosions are absurd. No one in the real world would ever get away with such antics. But that is the beauty of TV. The writing and acting does get better each season. Really excited for the new season. To watch Michael and his crew help those that police can not help and find out who burned him watch Burn Notice.
