Burn Notice Season 4 (DVD Review)

review by: Ruth Walker
Everyone’s favourite former spy, Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan), return s to our screens for an all new season of Burn Notice.
The season picks up shortly after the events in the third season finale. Fans of the show will finally find out what happened to Michael after being captured by some less than friendly figures.
Upon his return to Miami, the blacklisted spy finds out that his buddies Sam (Bruce Campbell) and Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar) have begun taking on cases of their own, and who do you think they will guilt trip into helping them?
Why Michael of course. He does owe them after his disappearance.
With the mysterious Simon back behind bars, new challenges face Michael as he focuses on tracking down those responsible for Simon’s initial escape.
But in order to find out the truth, Michael is forced to work with the very people that burnt him.
Although this time Michael will have more than Fiona and Sam to back him up...
Michael’s morality is put to the test when he inadvertently does the unthinkable to another spy named Jesse Porter (Coby Bell), he burns him!
To keep Jesse on side Michael takes the newly burnt spy under his wing. His new acquaintance is extremely beneficial in his new endeavours, even if his antics are a tad gung ho.
However it is only a matter of time before Jesse finds out the truth and gets his revenge on Michael.
When Michael isn’t running around trying to prove himself to middle management, he’s helping Sam and Fiona with their bizarre cases.
Keep your eyes peeled for guest stars, Prison Breaks’ Robert Wisdom and The Sopranos’ Robert Patrick.
The show is showing signs of familiarity with the same old story arcs – find bad guy, kill bad guy, find out bad guy was working for another really bad guy; and repeat. It’s an easy-going show that requires no real thought or concentration.
Burn Notice Season 4 is available on DVD from 26th December 2011.
DVD Extras

DVD extras include deleted scenes and audio commentary. But the best extra by far has to be Sam Axe’s guide to the ladies. It’s comedy gold |
