Right the name of the show is Burn Notice. However there are ways they continue it on but yet solve mysteries. In the meantime we are tossed about from government official to government official and Michael is still wondering. Thing is, there will come a time when he will run out of government officials, before he hits a dead end. It is just seeming like he is hitting the "in" and "out" paper work boxes. Where he finally clears one stack of paperwork he is layered on a whole new stack to sort through.
What is next season going to bring? A new government agent that knows about his burn notice? Michael will then have to be more elaborate and cunning to outsmart the agent and frivolous jobs for the local yokels. Sam will be the regular drunkard yet awesome SEAL character; and Fiona the love interest, mysterious Irish spy who we found more about when her brother came in last few episodes.
Thing is this show is become rather repetitive and stagnant. Sure it is neat to watch him solve the local's problems, thing is, for this show to carry on how long he will try and solve his burn notice problem every other four episodes will become old and stale.
He can solve it for good; know who did it, then go after them, that could take up a whole season. Once he is able to catch who actually did it he is torn between doing a job, say, for his mother or go after the real person who burned him; that will add conflict. If he chooses his mother he will have to wait for a resurface and either go about regretful, which will add a conflict between him and his mother; or if he chooses to go after the person it will solve his problem but at the same time add conflict with his mother. His mother is key in all of this for emotional plot lines.
Thing is nowadays it just seems to be going the usual USA route. They will milk it, whore it, and dry it out.
