Burn Notice (3.16): “I want my life back”
It may sound counterintuitive but if you haven’t already started watching Burn Notice, then this season finale is an excellent place to start. The ‘Previously’ gives you enough background to ensure you’re not going to flounder, and the episode gives you the very best of Burn Notice – the snark, the sassiness, the jeopardy, the Team Westen chemistry, explosions, sneaky spy stuff… Added to which, once you’re hooked, you can spend the weeks/months until Season Four, catching up on everything you’ve already missed. You can not lose. Continue reading

Lustbox: Jeffrey Donovan
I don’t know if it’s an age thing, but suddenly I totally get the attraction of a well-toned male body. In my fractious youth it was all about a handsome face, big brain and buckets of charisma. These things are … Continue reading

Burn Notice goes to some dark places this week. In fact there are hardly any gratuitous shots of skinny women in bikinis at all… We open in an unhappy place – Fi has packed up most of her small arms … Continue reading

Burn Notice (3.8): A sting in the tale
You’d be forgiven for thinking that halfway through it’s third series, Burn Notice might be getting a little jaded. After all, every week the ex-spy helps someone who can’t turn to the police (with the assistance of his friends) and … Continue reading
