:bow

He's also as snarky as evar!

But all the characters are pretty sweet in this series. The comical tone of it all is just perfect.

I heard good things about Dexter also, but that isn't on Hulu. Can you see the first episode of that anywhere online?

Post by: chronovore on June 27, 2008, 06:54:45 AM: Dexter = absolutely brilliant; don't watch the regular broadcast versions though, as they've been edited for language and gore. Show is about serial killers. No gore. WTF?

Burn Notice is tremendously fun; the dynamic between Michael and his girlfriend and Bruce Campbell makes up for what tends to be fairly formulaic story structure. I thought it was going to be a ripoff of Warren Ellis' Desolation Jones, but it's more like The A-Team meets Miami Vice.

Go to the homepage and click that NinjaVideo Helper Beta thing, then wait for it to say ONLINE, then go back to the Dexter page and click an episode... it's really glitchy.

yeah, I think July 10 but you probably need to watch at least the second half of the first season for the second season to make sense.

Post by: cool breeze on June 28, 2008, 04:18:51 AM: After watching 3 episodes and now into the 4th of Burn Notice, this really reminds me of a video game. What other place would you walk into a room, get a mission objective, then go to take care of it only to return for another one after it is done? This is basically GTA4.

LOL.

Well, there are less cheesy accents. And Michael rarely stops off to get fresh bulletproof vests prior to a base defense mission.

Post by: cool breeze on July 03, 2008, 03:02:29 AM: After watching all of Season 1, I can safely say that this show is awesome. It actually made me regret avoiding TV shows for the past few years. I can't wait until season 2, which is apparently in 9 days.

Yep. I also love that this series is a "Summertime" series. Great way to bridge to the Fall

Post by: chronovore on July 23, 2008, 10:09:04 PM: TV Shows.app is telling me that Burn Notice is airing again. Anyone keeping up with it? iTunes Music Store has the last two eps of Season 1 for free download; it was a cliffhanger...
Title: Re: Burn Notice is the best series on Television, at the moment
Post by: cool breeze on July 23, 2008, 10:17:28 PM: I saw the first episode of season 2, I have the second episode bookmarked on hulu. Gotta get around to watching it.

Post by: Bildi on July 23, 2008, 10:19:32 PM: :bow Burn Notice :bow2

We only just got the first episode in Australia a few days ago, and it is indeed kick ass. I only caught it by chance because from the ads I figured it was just another boring cop show.

I'm glad I caught it. 95% of new shows suck so this was a surprise.

JWZ was hosting it, I tried to re-host from web, failed. Thanks to my cache, the preview didn't show the problem. Fixed now.
