Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Getting Burned Isn't All Bad (For Us) Comment: Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan) is a spy and very good at it. Or at least he was. One day, while in the middle of a covert mission, he is burned. For us civilians, that means fired. Barely managing to escape with his life, he passes out and wakes up in Miami with no money and no idea what happened. Worse yet, Miami is him home town, and that means dealing with his Mother (Sharon Gless) who he hasn't seen in years. Michael is determined to figure out who did this to him and why so he can get back to work. So while he slowly gathers pieces of that puzzle, he picks up odd jobs as a private investigator. When he needs back up (which is often), he teams up with ex-IRA weapons smuggler (and ex-girlfriend) Fiona (Gabriella Anwar) and friend and former FBI agent (who is reporting on him to the FBI) Sam (Bruce Campbell). And together the three of them take on plenty of hard cases. They deal with kidnapped sons, drug dealers, smugglers, arms dealers, and assassins. Meanwhile, Michael is piecing together why he was burned. All this leads to a gripping and explosive season finale with a great cliffhanger. I passed on this show originally, but based on the buzz gave it a chance. I'm glad I did. This show manages to fix suspense, action, and humor in the perfect dose. Michael, Fiona, and Sam have excellent chemistry, which makes their jokes better. And Michael's narration adds some fun, too. But yes, this show is about the action. Every episode leaves me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out how they will deal with the problem. There are lots of explosions and shooting. This is a show for those who love spy stories. I will admit, the show took me a few episodes to fully appreciate. But I usually find the first few episodes are the weakest of many shows as everyone is figuring out the characters and storytelling. After that cliffhanger, I am really looking forward to the start of the second season. If you missed this show when it aired, get the set now. Customer Rating: Summary: All regions Comment: I noticed that it says all regions. I hope this is true as my mom will be sending my copy to the UK so I can watch it. I caught, by accident, a repeat of the first episode just before I returned home to the UK. I was smitten with the star, concept and execution of show. So, I was really pleased to see it will be out in dvd. My one hope is that all regions claim means I can actually watch it over here. Well worth the hassle of getting a copy of the first season. Customer Rating: Summary: not dvd review show review Comment: ok well i was hoping the dvd was out sooner the show it's self is imo great, it reminds me of the a team, my thinking is this the ateam where framed for a crime they did not commit and hence go on the run and help out joe public to earn money to live burn notice is similar in the way of a spy gets black listed and can't travel outside of miami, has no contacts or money, so in the hope of finding out why and how he was burned he works for joe public to get the resources the ateam built weapons out of scrap, micheal builds bugs, security measures and weapons out of everyday things and scrap in some cases humour is great one liners a plenty the character development is similar to the a team also ppl do die in this, get hurt, bit of blood too More Reviews
