Burn Notice is one of the best written television series I've ever seen. If you want to learn how to build a character and how to string a main story arc through out a television series, then watch and study it.
The entire series is on NetFlix and it is worth your effort to start at the very beginning. This series has carefully crafted out story lines as if all the episodes were written before they ever shot the pilot. The characters are so defined, that I'm still mourning the loss of one as if the character was a real person. That's how good this show is.
While formulaic as most series are, the predictability is based upon tiny little breadcrumbs that are sprinkled over a few seasons, rather than in the previous episode. This series just gets better and better after each episode, and I love how the women are all empowered and strong without losing any femininity.
The show has a conscious that other similar shows lack, which is likely why Burn Notice was so successful when it ran on the USA network. Lots of action, adventure, and things that go boom!
