Preview of Week 05/30/10 - 06/05/10

Breaking Bad - AMC, Sunday, May 30, 10:00pm ET

After last week's freakishly smart/crazy episode, it looks like everything will be back on track which means anything can happen.

Justified - FX, Tuesday. June 1, 10:00pm ET

As the final two episodes of the season come around, the heat will be turning up. Boyd is out of control and Raylan will have to put a stop to him, but he may need his father's help.

Burn Notice - USA, Thursday, June 3, 9:00pm ET

The underlying mythology of Burn Notice has gotten kind of muddled and illogical with all the twists and turns that all go back to the simple fact that all the people who burned him want is his help. The beginning of Season 3 begins with another reset and Michael is quickly back into the spy game.

Royal Pains - USA, Thursday, June 3, 10:00pm ET

Royal Pains really began to wear on me in the later half of its first season and the second season begins much the same way. There's way too much interpersonal relationship problems, not enough comedy, and not enough medical stuff. That's where the difference between Royal Pains and Burn Notice is glaring. Burn Notice focuses on standalone stories much more and keeps away from soap opera-y arcs while Royal Pains embraces the soapy aspect to a point where everything feels labored.

Flashpoint - CBS, Friday, June 4, 9:00pm ET

Flashpoint would seem to be a normal procedural on the surface; it’s about an elite police team trained to talk down dangerous situations and if need be, take decisive action. Pretty simple, right? Well it is, and then you watch the show. Almost every episode immerses viewers into both sides of the equation—both the law enforcement angle and the mind of the criminal. It can get a little too sappy at times, but Flashpoint is one of the few procedurals that can bring out so much emotion.
