By range This show most definitely fits in the USA Network’s slew of shows, which include Burn Notice and Royal Pains. It has good pacing and interesting chemistry between Matt Bormer and Tim DeKay, something that isn’t easy to fake. They work well on the screen, there is no denying this.

That moment, and their exchanges afterwards, are a prime example of why Burn Notice is more than just a fun action-adventure show. It's got superb central characters and writers who know how to bring humanity and depth to these people. I laughed and I liked. And I want to see more.   [read the full post]
