I am a big fan of Burn Notice and have liked Jeffery Donovan since his appearance on The Pretender. In Shut Eye he is back and just as good as ever, reprising a role as a sympathetic bad guy with a good heart. The writting is good enough to draw you in and care about the characters early on: something some writers have trouble doing these days. The scheming wife is a perfect complement to his character. Does she have to be bi-sexual? OK, maybe that helps sell her character a bit but the lesbian nude love scenes are over the top and add nothing to the story. There is no need to shove the LBGT agenda into everything and then be gratuitous about it. This show could have earned a higher rating but the not so secret agenda is the writter/producers comes with a price.
