"Burn Notice"

Does anybody else watch this show? We just got season one on DVD. We'd watched a couple of eps last summer. It's a fun show.
The lead character is Michael Westen, an ex-spy who's received a "burn notice" from the CIA and now has his bank accounts, etc. frozen and is working as a kind of unlicense private investigator in Miami.
It's kind of a cross between a couple of 80s TV shows; "MacGyver" and "Moonlighting". Very similar to "MacGyver" in that the lead character generally likes to improvise "gadgets" to fight the bad guys, rather than using guns (although there is some shooting). Similar to "Moonlighting" in that there's some UST between Michael and his ex-girlfriend, who is a regular character. (Not sure that "UST" is exaclty the right phrase. . .it's pretty obvious that they had a sexual relationship at one point, but don't any more.) What's funny about this particular situation is that while Michael wants to keep things on a "just friends" basis, she's the one who's always flirting and hinting they should move forward (or back?) to a romantic relationship.
