Burn Notice


For those who missed the first season of Burn Notice, sucks to be you. Fortunately, it's available on Amazon right here.

In Burn Notice, Jeffrey Donovan plays Michael Weston, a covert operative who has been "burned," i.e., tagged as an unreliable/dangerous agent. The show takes place in Miami where Weston divides his time trying to find the people who burned him and helping nice people in trouble—kinda like MacGyver.

After watching the show, I realized that Weston is extremely alpha. He is:

Always calm.

Always looks like he has the situation under control (even though he doesn’t)

Only use violence when he has no other choice

Speaks slowly

Never raises his voice

Never loses his focus

Rarely does he explain why, he just says things and people do it

He has a wealth of knowledge, but only presents knowledge that is directly relevant and necessary to the immediate situation

Never backs down and is not afraid of anyone.

Until then: Season 2 of Burn Notice premieres July 10, 2008 on USA.
