Burn Notice – Episode 4-16 Review

Reviews, Shows

I am an entire day behind the television watching, so for the sake of time, reviews for Thursday and Wednesday shows will be very short (shorter than they the present short reviews). I was overwhelmed this week with other stuff, but I’ll definitely be churning out reviews next week.

I’ve never gotten anything out of the attempted pathos for Burn Notice. The writers try from time to time, but I really don’t care. Serve up some explosions and guns, and I’m fine. Tonally and thematically, the show just doesn’t have it enough to get me choked up as a show like Friday Night Lights. Call me heartless, but I found a good deal of “Dead Or Alive” cheesy. Sam and the grieving widow was really uncomfortable to watch. The plot is the usual trickery, except that there’s only one person to fool, so they take him down fairly easily.

The list subplot doesn’t go anywhere, aside from useless “Michael might be working for the government!” jibber-jabber, until the end when Brennan steals the list.

Score: 8.4/10
