DVD Description
Burn Notice stars Jeffrey Donovan (Changeling) as Michael Westen, everyone’s favorite blacklisted spy. Stranded in sun-soaked Miami, he continues to use the only tools he has at his disposal: his wits, his charm, his special ops training, and his “friends”--Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), a beautiful ex-IRA operative who also happens to be Michael’s ex-girlfriend, Sam (Bruce Campbell), a washed-up military intelligence contact who works as Michael's sidekick, and his mother (Emmy Award® winner Sharon Gless), who Michael has spent most of his adult life trying to avoid.
This season opens with Michael emerging from the water, completely free from interference by the organization that burned him, but now under investigation by the police. Michael faces a new foe in Miami Police Detective Michelle Paxson (recurring guest star Moon Bloodgood, Terminator: Salvation), who becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about Michael. Also in the upcoming season we see Michael and team help a kidnapped child, take on Latin American thugs and deal with some familiar faces while Michael works to get back into the CIA. Ben Shenkman (Grey’s Anatomy) also recurs as Stickler, a freelance spy broker who makes a living by contracting current and former spies to do work on the side. This season we also see the return of some of the most popular characters from the first two seasons including Jay Karnes as weapons dealer Brennen, and Seth Peterson as Michael’s brother, Nate.

Format:DVD
I had a friend in the US get this for me,as it is not yet available here.
If you enjoyed series 1 and 2,you will be pleased to hear that 3 is also excellent.
Fast,witty scripts, and a succession of bad guys and complex problems beset our trio from all sides.Some reappearances from prior series also add some continuity.Michael is now free from the shadowy organisation that was manipulating him in series 2.But this means he is more exposed to anyone with a grudge from his life as a spy.He is still fixated on getting his old job as a spy back,much to the chagrin of his deadly on/off girlfriend ,who wants to build a life in Miami.
Each adventure episode is a delight.There are no great world shaking themes,just great entertainment.And if anyone was wondering how to use a mobile phone as a listening device,as well as a whole host of spy "tricks", then this is the series for you.And the great Bruce Campbell is fantastic as Michael's special ops pal.He thinks spies are just a bunch of "bitchy girls"!!!
Highly recommended.

hi just a quick review, series is good (probably not as good as 1 and 2 but when do series's get better ? (i know some exceptions to this rule but not many)
But on a side note be aware although sold as region 2 (which is on box etc as well) these would not play on my panasonic dvd hdd player i know it has issues with ntsc discs if there is a timer program present, which there is)
but this may cause issues for other people also, doesn't bother me too much as i just stick the discs in multi region home theatre dvd player to get round it.

The basic scenario for Burn Notice is probably familiar to most people by now. Michael Westen was a spy, but he has had a burn notice served on him, so is no longer welcome in the intelligence community. He is now holed up in Miami, where along with a trigger happy ex-girlfriend and Bruce Campbell as, well Bruce Campbell hamming it up a bit, he routinely seeks to investigate or resolve issues from his life as a spy, while helping out people with problems that might require a former spy, who is not averse to blowing things up, or Rockford style cons.
The box set comes in a standard size case, on four disks, with photos of the four leads. The previously fraught relations between the characters have now settled down, and there seems a real warmth and friendship between them.
This is the third season, and not much has changed. I'm not sure whether that means the series is hitting its stride, or starting to falter. It does remain one of the best character driven comedy thrillers on the box. The settings are well used, the plots still seem fresh and there is not a dull episode in the box. Having said all that, the first half of the box set is consistently fair to middling, things do move up a gear in the second half of the box set. There is not the same narrative arc, or compelling sense of jeopardy across the whole series that there was before, and for box set viewers it is the overall series arc that really makes the difference.
There are some choice cameos, Danny Trejo and the other one from Cagney and Lacey, and some useful re-appearances from earlier characters. There is also a little minor tinkering with the cinematography, but basically this is business as usual.
I cannot think of a current TV series that I am enjoying more than this one, but this is not as strong as the two previous series.

Burn notice season 3 was great.
Only a couple of "filler" episodes but really good apart from that.

NTSC not PAL
The show is great, but although this disk is Region 2, and BBFC rated, it's NTSC format and not PAL, so it may not play on your system. The sound quality is also very strange. Read more
