Just finished season 6 of Burn Notice. Anyone else think the show really went downhill this season? The first half (up until the end of the Anson Fullerton arc) is quite good, but afterwards it seems like the writers didn't really know where to go or what to do. The second half is bogged down with soap opera drama, which seems more like filler than anything else. With a few exceptions, the plot movements of second-half episodes seem really contrived, Olivia Riley is played so over-the-top that she comes across as hilariously unreal rather than intimidating (which, I presume, they were going for), and there's no significant movement or resolution until the very last episode. It's almost like the development team only had enough material for six episodes, and once they had exhausted it they just ran out the clock for the remainder of the season. Pretty disappointing.
