Sharon's new vehicle. Going on Ep 1, it's entertaining and that's it, forget deep. Sharon is the hypchondriac Mom, of the burned-off spy, who'll maybe in some furure ep try to get the family back together (brother, Dad's dead, and probably battered both sons, he certainly did the hero). She's sporting a new wig, blonde, that'd sit more suitably on a seventeeen-year old; but the show is pretty well-crafted, so this is likely a piece of accurate character-color - she wants the past back?
As for the show, it's very like GET SMART written backwards, very like THE SAINT forwards, and very like MCGUYVER (MACGUYVER?) betweentimes. (Overall effect of the MACGUYVER element is small-scale neat and convincing fixes and dodges, like doors and walls aren't there, that anyone could do, and compares well to the high-falutin heavy-tech tricks VANISHED got up to, to get the same places.) It's watchable.
So's the hero. Lotsa Mexican in THAT family tree, and some branch had grey-blue eyes, interesting mix. Lightish build, stature not above average. And a broken nose. Says active boyhood for the actor, but here assignable to a basher Dad, or maybe some knock while growing up busy. Because the hero's REAL busy. Stick a Burn Notice on this one, huh? Whoever did (that's shaping up to be the long-running mystery). Anyway, in his Saint mode, this ep the hero helps out a poor stiff of a caretaker, who's being set up as the fall-guy for a fake robbery, of his rich crook of a boss. Who gets his.
Who plays the poor stiff is the actor that played Angel No-relation in DEXTER, and that straight away tells you the show is sourced from Toronto, explains why Sharon's in it and working in Miami. DEXTER must've scouted out the territory for Canada, and here's the fruits. Might add the writing's faultless, classy, well-studied.
Cant tell you what organisation produces or releases BURN NOTICE, but if you have DirecTV, I saw a quick announcement on my copy, showing it was appearing there at least. Anyway, type BURN NOTICE into Google and that'll tell where it can be found.
Added: oh here's this:
show info
Poking round it, the source looks to be something called '87 USA'. Wouldn't know what that means, but a 'USA' logo was featured, corner of my copy. Pay no attention to the horrible studio pic of Sharon in blonde wig. It totally fails to represent the look, probably done somewhere Canada with throw-on wardrobe - and wig. Gabrielle Anwar is the Irish Ex, and Jeffrey Donovan (maybe that's the grey-blue eyes) is the lead. Considerably different offscreen to on, persona-wise: he can act.
