White Collar

Even though White Collar originally was on from 2009-2015, I just now got around to watching it now in 2024. I'm actually upset with myself for not watching it earlier because it was a really fun show to watch. Netflix acquired the rights last year and it immediately went to the Top 10 watched list and stayed there for months. It did so well that they're talking about rebooting it again. The reason the show works so well is its two stars, Matt Bomer (Neal Caffrey) and Tim DeKay (Peter Burke). Their chemistry is just fantastic. I'm currently on Season 4 right now. I've been flying through it, watching several episodes at a time. This is just an easy show to watch so if you're looking for a show that's just a fun watch then give White Collar a try.

This is easily one of my favorite TV shows ever, loved watching it back when it was still coming out one episode a week. I really wish we could've gotten more seasons because other shows that cant hold up to it get like 9 while they ended with a 6 episode final season 6. Dont get me wrong it was all still a great watch, it is somehow serious, funny, a crime show AND Matt Bomer is a total heart throb that couldnt of been a better pick for the role. Honestly I like the whole cast, the father/mentor relationship he has with Peter ties the whole show together. While other characters like Diana and his wife El are extremely likable, not to mention the constant appearance of guest stars! I think this show can be watched at any point in the series, each episode is a case by case basis so I love that formula.

Loved this series. Binged on Netflix. Matt Bomer is yummy. Willie was a great partner. Great writing. All the actors were so well cast. So wish they would bring it back in some way. Sure would like to know what Neal is up to these days. Neal and Peter, Neil and Mozzie -- perfection.

I had watched Suits some time ago and loved it. Wanted to find something similar. Whie Collar was it. I thought the writers were the same but found that not to be true. The stories seem to run paralell.

Suits were attorneys and one young, very smart, wanna-be. White Collar is FBI and one young, very smart, thief.

I don't think you will be disappointed if you sit down to this one.

White Collar is an exceptional TV series. I just bought it on DVD and it does not disappoint. The characters are so good. The dynamic between Peter and Neil, Peter and Elizabeth, Mozzie and Elizabeth, Neil and Mozzie and the list goes on. Seasons 2, 3, 4, and 6 are the best in my opinion but there are very few misses in this show and most of those are at the beginning when there are just finding their footing. The acting and chemistry is especially on point with Willie Garson, Tim Dekay and Matt Bomer. But everyone is incredible. Overall it is very entertaining. Though they do overuse the Neil going rogue trope a bit too much, but other than that this show is perfect.

With White Collar popping back up and doing well with streaming these days I thought I'd give it a try again. I'm glad I did. I watched the first few seasons when this was on 10-15 years ago and then just forgot about it. This was on USA network at a time where they had a bunch of good shows (Psych, Suits, Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, Royal Pains, etc) so it got caught in the shuffle back them. Looking g back USA had a lot of good shows, it's too bad they changed their formula. It's about a White Collar felon named Neal Caffrey, he's wanted for years before being caught by FBI agent Peter Burke. After a few years in prison they make Neal an offer. In exchange for freedom he'll help them catch sought after white collar criminals. Neal and Peter work together and have a fun bro-mance thing going on, they start off not trusting of each other but that grows into a real friendship.
