emBurn Notice/em settles into a satisfying groove in its second season. The cast is cool and confident, the writers have mastered the mix of stand-alone stories and the season-long hook, and the blend of retro-70s flavor with 21st century self-awareness is delicious. Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) still hasn.t figured out who .burned. him--i.e., got him blacklisted as a covert agent and left him trapped in Miami. But he has uncovered a lead in the form of Carla (Tricia Helfer, emBattlestar Galactica/em), a mysterious manipulator who assigns Michael unexplained tasks. But if he resists these tasks, everyone he loves is at risk--including his mom, Madeline (Sharon Gless, emCagney Lacey/em), his sleek and violent ex-girlfriend Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar, emScent of a Woman/em), and his squirrelly best pal, Sam (Bruce Campbell, emEvil Dead II/em). pIn each episode, while wrestling with Carla.s ongoing schemes, Michael gets drawn into helping some hapless innocent, such as a waitress being stalked by a drug dealer, an accountant to a rap mogul with a gangster background, or a father who.s been scammed out of the money he needs for his sick son. While these smartly-plotted stories unfold, the true pleasure of the show is listening to Michael reveal techniques for forging checks, explain how to make a crude x-ray machine, or describe the active ingredients of pepper spray--all the tricks of the spy trade. Are they genuine? Who knows and who cares! They.re completely entertaining, clever enough to be plausible, and they go hand-in-hand with Michael.s arsenal of cheesy accents and cheerful quips. emBurn Notice: Season Two/em features a good dose of deleted scenes, chatty audio commentaries by cast and crew, a genuinely charming gag reel (featuring Donovan doing a little soft-shoe), and a genuinely illuminating featurette with the show.s creator, Matt Nix, describing the process of preparing to direct an episode. All in all, it.s an excellent package, ready for delivery. em--Bret Fetzer/em br //p pspan class="h1"strongStills from Burn Notice: Season Two (Click for larger image)/strong/span table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" width="100%" p/p p/p tbody tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg height="301" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/burnnotice/BN2_S.jpg" width="200" / br //td p/p tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/burnnotice/BN1_S.jpg" width="300" / br //td td img height="301" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/burnnotice/BN3_S.jpg" width="200" //td p/p /tr tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/burnnotice/BN4_S.jpg" width="300" //td p/p tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/burnnotice/BN5_S.jpg" width="300" //td tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/fox/burnnotice/BN6_S.jpg" width="300" //td br / p/p /tr /tbody /table /p

 tv series burn notice March 8, 2010
Debra A. Petrill (St. Paul, MN)
thanks this show rocks, I'm so happy the seasons 2 is available, since I can never catch live.
br /Quick delivery, would recommend this seller.
fantastic show March 7, 2010
Jon Norris (Oregon, USA)
Most TV these days is not worth even switching past with the remote, it is so bad. I have stopped even looking for good shows unless something catches my attention in another way.
br /
br /I got turned on to this at Netflix and was blown away. This is the best TV show I have seen for a long, long time. Mix Miami Vice, Macguyver, the Bourne movies and add a touch of noir detective voice over, and you get the idea. The blend is fresh, exciting, enjoyable to watch, well written, shot, and acted. There is a great blend of drama, action, and comedy, and the writers manage to throw in plot twists and multiple story arcs which keep one guessing, yet do not feel contrived.
br /
br /The characters seem real and believable. The mix and chemistry are great, and the development of characters and long term arcs is very well handled at all levels. Good job to everyone involved in this. In this day and age, it is not easy to create and maintain a good show like this.
br /
br /Highly recommended. I am going to buy seasons 1 and 2, and am waiting anxiously for season 3.

 No Episode Guide with DVD March 6, 2010
PenName (USA)
No complaints about the Burn Notice series. If you like the show and enjoyed Season 1, you'll like Season 2 also. My criticism is the packaging of the DVD. This is as absolute bare-bones a purchase as you get: just the DVD discs. No glossy fold-out episode guide or anything else came with this. I don't necessarily expect much, but I do expect _something_. There isn't even a hardcopy list of DVD content with what's on each disc -- and I consider that a mandatory minimum for a purchase like this.
I ve got a burn notice on you! February 5, 2010
