This series - although it has a 'spy' plot - is amazingly captivating. Donovan is truly fascinating!! I've been watching Burn Notice and trying to figure out why he looked familiar and I finally had to look it up here...he was on an episode of Monk in which he played a totally unlikeable character. I cannot believe this is the same actor!! Donovan even affects a slight accent for this series...or he dropped it for Monk. Anyway - to me, the barely there accent implies a slightly European side to Donovan's character, which lends credibility to his wordly spy persona.
Plot could be James Bond redux but it's not - new twists, Michael's narration of the stories and terrific character development keep this series fresh. Michael also has a fairly complex childhood background which is revealed in pieces which helps to explain Michael's life. Michael's mom is quite the character played by the quintessential Sharon Gless!
Donovan is super sexy and that's what originally caught my eye, (I'm sure the male watchers find Fiona irresistible in spite of being so difficult!) but I've kept watching because of the tremendous development of the characters and the unique presentation of the episodes.
Michael & Fiona's friend Sam is quite complex and masterfully played by Bruce Campbell. I'd never heard of him before but after checking out his page on IMDb I realize he's quite the accomplished actor which explains his capability in this series.
Love it!! I believe you'll thoroughly enjoy it!
