Damn like they never left, and they using the coffee shop base again
It's incredible, like getting transported back in time. Perfectly on pitch.
Actor got me too'd, looks like they're just gonna pretend he never existed.
Turns out he didn't survive the original series finale after all 'wink'
"Have you ever been to Kiev? The cake-maker of Kiev would whup all our ass. This is the butcher. "
I'm genuinely blown away at how smoothly the new characters look like they've been integrated. It's wild.
Or Wylde, if you will.

Crew of thieves conning terrible rich people the law won't touch.
He's also in the show less because of his busy schedule. Gotta hoard all that gold for the season.
Yeh, that trailer really doesn't sell it to me...not seeing what people are so hyped for.
"Have you ever seen a dustmite? Eight legs, fur, and mandibles. Mandibles. I don't think so."
Imagine if the tease for return of Burn Notice was just silhouettes of Michael, Fiona, and Sam, and you hear "And you thought I was dead?"
And Dead Larry simply walks out from the silhouettes laughing before it hard-cuts to a title card.
I can't believe it's happening. Leverage is my go to comfort show.
I'm not sure when they got bought, but they probably can't break deals already in place.

It's like Ocean's 11, but also not... Kinda feel-good heist plots, but what really makes it is the dialogue and performances. Come for Christian Kane looking hot, stay for Aldis Hodge's beautiful delivery of every single line (watch the outtakes for the series on YT).
Amazon has owned IMDb since 1998. IMDbtv was apparently started in 2019 lol
The dialogue felt really hammy in the trailer, I could just be in the wrong mood. Do you think it does a good job of showing what it's like? Maybe it's just not for me....
Loving all the Burn Notice love in here. Just go back to Blue Sky TV, honestly. Viva la Psych!
Maybe. It's a fun, kinda quirky procedural show; it gets serious and emotional when it needs to, but that's not really the point. If you're looking for prestige television, this ain't it.
It can be a bit hammy, but it's also got some serious and emotional depth to it. I think the trailer does a good job of showing what it's like for fans of the series, but not for newbies. If you're vaguely interested, watch the first 3 or 4 eps of the original run (the first 2 are one storyline, and are a little different to the rest of the series, but setup the premise and the basics of the characters). The trailer has call-backs to the original series ("Dammit Hardison" being one), so if you've not seen it before then it will fall flat to some degree.
Ah, right, makes perfect sense that it might not translate to new viewers as well, I can easily imagine how shows I love could have trailers like this that did the same.
Thanks for the explanations.
Sweet. Had no idea. Commander Riker directed all of the best episodes!
Pretty sure it's available on *drumroll* IMDB tv. Shocking, I know.

Hell yes! Burn Notice was so much fun. One of my favourite series of all time.
Some mixed feelings here. On the one hand, I loved Leverage so I'm definitely down for more and it looks like they've recaptured the original charm perfectly.
But I can't lie, the exclusion of Nate does have me worried. Don't get me wrong I totally get why the actor wasn't asked to return and agree that it was the right decision, but the fact remains that Nate was the heart and emotional core of the show. He was vital to the team dynamic.
I'm definitely going to watch, but that will be the biggest question for me. Can this work without Nate?

I still need to watch the original. Through a weird circumstance, I ended up having dinner at E3 in 2016 with John Rogers, the co-creator of the show. He's great.
HELL YEAH
I love Burn Notice and Leverage, this would make me so happy.
Glad
Was my feeling as well, then I remembered Noah Wyle is in this and he can easily take up the role.
Nate's arc is done(and if they really want to close bridges make it so he didn't fake his death at the end of the series like everyone though). But yes it can, that's why they got Noah Wyle. Dude is dynamo of energy and heart and is the perfect fit for that role while bringing a different energy than Nate so it's not just a repeat. Dude is just fun. Heck on Librarians where he was just recurring he brought heart when he showed up. Plus we already know he has chemistry with one cast member thanks to that show
