2020-03-021h 22Burn, NoticedLesser Evil | Burn Notice S2E16In a surprisingly coherent Big Daddy Nix finale with yet another bald-faced Onstar plug, Victor and Michael come to an understanding and pull this season's second enemies-to-lovers plot as they team up to take down Carla. However, Victor impresses upon Michael that his one-bad-actor perception of the world may be short-sighted. Programming note- heading into a short hiatus between seasons!

2020-02-1451 minBurn, NoticedSins of Omission | Burn Notice S2E15In this week's episode, Michael is sHoOk at the reappearance of Sam, but not normal cuddly Bruce Campbell Sam- Sam[antha], his EX-FIANCE! As usual, this reveal is meaningless and presented with no emotional context and this character should have been Lucy Lawless. Love us in a non-creepy way? Love us in a creepy way?

2020-02-101h 33Burn, NoticedTruth and Reconciliation | Burn Notice S2E14It's no easy feat to be the episode that follows Bad Breaks, and even so, we were relatively underwhelmed by Honor Crusader Alfredo Barrios Jr's latest. Michael helps a man capture the bad guy who killed his daughter in a Haitian prison for dissidence, in part by throwing said bad guy off a balcony, unconscious, and into a semi truck filled with boxes.

2020-02-031h 22Burn, NoticedBad Breaks | Burn Notice S2E13It's finally here, folks. Our favorite episode of Burn Notice (that we've seen, allowing for the fact that we've only ever seen through season 4) and possibly Bri's favorite episode of television, period? Michael and returning antagonist Jason Bly get stuck in a bank heist with Mark Shepard and during their enemies to lovers plotline foil the robbery from the inside. Only one joke in this description text because holy hell this is a great episode and we can absolutely say that with a straight face. Love us in a non-creepy way? Love us in a creepy way...
2020-01-271h 35Burn, NoticedSeek and Destroy | Burn Notice S2E12Matching throwing knives for everyone, Seymore's back! And so is the man who should be Todd.

2020-01-201h 20Burn, NoticedHot Spot | Burn Notice S2E11Michael B. Jordan is in this episode and eats a can of old clams, y'all, so buckle up.
