Both of those assessments are true.

It’s a fun background show but if you binge it, it will begin to show it’s repetitive humdrum quickly.

I enjoyed it. Bruce Campbell is always a treat. Jeffery Donovan is a good actor that should’ve been used more. And Gabrielle Anwar is not only easy on the eyes, but she plays a decent character. Shame they stopped the Irish accent after the first episode for her though. That added to her sexiness for sure.

It very much follows the USA format (White Collar, Psych, Monk, etc.), especially similar to White Collar:

Ridiculous premise, most episodes are standalone and formulaic, a couple seasons at the beginning and end of each season are about the season’s story arc and are generally weaker. Later seasons get more into the increasingly silly arc and it starts to drag. But overall it’s a lot of fun.

USA shows in general make good bedtime shows IMO.

I just asked my husband. He said that he watched the show from beginning to end. This is a direct quote from him: "No one is going to be a better person for having watched it, but it somehow kept me sucked in until I finished it."

Bruce Campbell makes the show. It's worth watching just because of him and his character. I enjoyed the whole thing but probably wouldn't of without my boy Bruce.

Its a very good second monitor watching experience. I enjoyed Psych and Monk more than Burn Notice but I would absolutely watch it again

I'd say it's like an updated version of MacGyver. The main trio will try to help someone, the plan will go sideways and they'll have to improvise is kinda the basic premise. Some episodes are a bit too predictable imo but there are tons of good ones!! My favorite is the one where they convince a gang that Michael (main guy) is LITERALLY the devil lol. And Danny Trejo makes a cameo. It's season 3 episode 11 called "Friendly Fire". There's some season long arc stuff at the start of the episode but it's so good lol.

Absolutely. "I used to be a spy."

And, bonus, a series with a nice and satisfying ending.

Plus, Bruce Campbell!

It's dumb fun. Watch a couple of episodes and you'll know if it's your kind of dumb fun as the formula stays pretty consistent for pretty much the entirety of the show's run.

It’s pretty formulaic but entertaining. Especially if you play the Burn Notice drinking game. Drink every time: a gun is shot, there’s a random flash of a girl in a swimsuit, there’s a voiceover, a fake name or accent is used. There’s probably more rules I’ve forgotten.

Honestly still one of my favorite shows, maybe my favorite ever. It can be campy and unrealistic sometimes, it stays within the realm of "I guess that's possible" that you will still be curious about how they will beat the monster of the week. It's a lot of fun.

First few seasons were pretty good. Bruce Campbell is always fun. It's not a great show, and it's not built for binging (see: repetitive) and the premise of wading through the murky gray waters of ethical espionage gets pretty old pretty quick. He's supposed to be shady and dangerous, but the show needs a protagonist, so he basically becomes Plot Armor Man, able to dodge bullets and ethical quandries with equal aplomb.

Thank you all for your opinions.

Forgot to ask. Did it get a proper ending?

The first season is fun. After that...I think you got your money's worth already.

I put it on the same level as Leverage. It's fun action that is also stupid, but that's part of it's charm.

Chuck Finley is my favorite. and of course, Mr. Slicey

Watching whilst doing something else sorta TV.

This is one of my favorite scenes for some reason and sums up the show pretty well: Thermite

I watched it for several seasons. It's set in Miami, so there were a lot of girls in bikinis, so that was good. The writing is pretty good, the acting also, but the plots became quite repetitive. So I switched to The Glades, also in Florida. Much worse writing and acting, but more bikinis.

it's good but the overall story arc gets very repetitive, season after season. Individual episodes are really good but I quit watching after a few seasons.

If you’re looking for a good show to binge with someone, it works well. Lots of fun guest stars and guaranteed explosions. It’s not a science documentary, but it’s not garbage reality television, either. Just fun.

It's definitely worth seeing if you like it. It's a really fun show that sticks to a formula.

It's all of the above and yes, i'd recommend it.

It's a good bit of fun and has strong 'MacGyver' vibes.

"What if 'NCIS'(2003) had the writers of 'Psych'(2006)"?

Its bad folks.

It's got amazing characters and a fun premise. Writing is pretty mid but the standout moments are incredible.

Definitely worth a watch. Not sure if I'd re-watch it, but it's generally good fun (especially Bruce Campbell)
