White Collar cleverly fuses the delicate thrills of the heist genre (where everything has to go just right) with the dogged pursuit of the police procedural (where the police dig until the criminals do something wrong). The ridiculously good-looking Matt Bomer stars as reformed (well, maybe) con artist Neal Caffrey, who works for the FBI under the guidance/control of strait-laced agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay). This odd-couple pair investigate con games, bank robberies, jewel smuggling, political corruption, counterfeiting, corporate skullduggery, and much more, often featuring sneaky undercover activity. The first season ended with Neal's girlfriend getting blown up in an airplane; the thread through the second season follows Neal's investigation of that explosion--along with the mysterious music box, which Neal's partner-in-crime Mozzie (Willie Garson, still best known as Carrie's best pal Sanford from Sex and the City) finally deciphers. At the season's end, an old mentor of Neal's emerges from the shadows, pulling an amazing treasure up from the depths… a treasure that Neal may not be able to resist.

Bomer and DeKay have a nice rapport, and the supporting cast members (including Tiffani Thiessen as Burke's sensible wife, Marsha Thomason and Sharif Atkins as FBI agents, Diahann Carroll as Neal's landlady, and Hilarie Burton, an insurance investigator who becomes a new love interest for Neal) play their parts with a light touch. White Collar is a sprightly show; even its more dramatic scenes are played more for plot momentum than real drama. But, much like with the rogue covert agent show Burn Notice, that lightness is part of the charm. Think of it as the snack cracker of television; nothing you want to see all the time, but when you get a taste, it's hard not to empty the box. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling, mysterious and funny all in one January 17, 2011

I found this show by watching the marathon on USA. The show is one where you can't wait to see what happens next. There is a definite "hook" with all of its mysterious twists and turns. We bought Season 1, and my teenager is now hooked on it. The characters are fun and believable and the cast brings such a wealth of talent to the show. The show itself is a rarity in Hollywood because it beautifully portrays the proper mix of mystery, sexual intrigue and danger without being overdone - allowing the viewer to use their imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Winner !!!!!! February 8, 2011

By a journalist

Format:DVD

Somehow I never heard about this show when it first came out. Now I'm addicted. The show's loaded with twists & turns, brilliant capers, suspense, and some laughs as well. The cast and writers are clearly having lots of fun ... and they're pulling it off flawlessly. I imagine it's a joy to work on such a smart show. It's certainly a joy to watch.

Highly recommended ... and also highly addictive!

5.0 out of 5 stars Back and even better October 21, 2010

By Amanda TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Last summer USA introduced us to sophisticated white collar thief Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), a con man turned FBI consultant, and FBI Special Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay), an agent in the FBI white collar crime division who has dedicated his career to hunting down Neal. After making a deal with the FBI, Neal begins working with Peter on white collar cases, including everything from art theft and forgery to embezzlement. Season one laid the groundwork for this edge-of-your seat show, creating unforgettable characters (especially Willie Garson's quirky Mozzie) and building a white-hot, unique summer show that ended (quite literally) with a bang.

At the beginning of season two, Neal is still reeling from ex-girlfriend Kate's unexpected death. Though he returns to his job as an FBI consultant (after a brief stint in prison after cutting his tracking anklet -- again), Neal secretly works to unravel the mystery behind Kate's death. Meanwhile, a concerned Peter meets secretly with Neal's friend and fellow con man Mozzie out of concern for Neal, while still hiding an agenda of his own. Whether it's out of concern for Neal or for the Bureau, Peter begins working with newly reassigned Special Agent Diana Barrigan (Marsha Thomason) outside of business hours on the questions surrounding a strange artifact that was connected to Kate's death.

The biggest refresher about season two is the inclusion of Marsha Thomason as Special Agent Diana Barrigan, Peter's trainee and chief point-person to discovering the truth behind Operation Meteor in the first season. Thomason appeared in both the series pilot and season one finale, but was replaced during the remainder of the season by Special Agent Lauren Cruz (Natalie Morales).... While Lauren was an interesting character, she often felt stilted and flat, not to mention occasionally extraneous. Whether or not the failure of Lauren's character was due to writing or acting, Diana is a welcome change. She feels much more natural on screen with Peter and Neal and adds a much-needed level of cohesion to the cast, especially in the bureau. Diana is already poised to be a standout character in season two and I'm curious to see what the writers do with her.

The rest of the cast is just as strong as before -- perhaps even stronger. Neal and Peter's entertaining old married couple-like bickering flows even more easily, and it feels like both the writers and actors have fully settled into the characters and plot, adding a warm sense of comfort to the show that makes it more accessible. Not to mention that Willie Garson (as Mozzie) continues his show-stopping awesome, stealing the show in nearly each scene (just like in the first season) but somehow manages to improve upon his quirky, whimsical nature in the second season. Oh, and West Beverly Hills High alum Tiffani Theissen returns as Peter's wife Elizabeth. Though I admit it's hard for me not to see the girl from 90210, Theissen holds her own against the other strong characters in the show and plays well off Neal and Mozzie while managing to establish herself as part of the White Collar universe. With such an intriguing group of characters, it's easy to get involved.

So far, season two of USA's crime-comedy hit is heating up to be even better than the first. Even if you haven't seen the first season, you can still dive into the intriguing world of white collar crime. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Best New Series on TV October 2, 2010

By keysersoze

Format:DVD

This is one of the best "Catch Me if you Can" series I have ever seen. I can hardly wait for the new season. You can't help but fall in love with the characters. The humor, drama and educational aspect of this show are remarkable. I hope this new series lasts for at least least 20 seasons.

This show, like Neil, Matt Boomer, is too hot to pass up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best partnership show on but still no Tim DeKay on the cover ? June 26, 2011

By Starfire

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

which strikes me as odd because the strength of this series is the relationship between Matt Bomer's Neal Caffrey and DeKay's Peter Burke. The vagaries of marketing aside, this is, for my money, the best series on television right now. Willie Garson plays Neal's eccentric friend Mozzie and Tiffani Thiessen is Peter's wife Elizabeth. Cleverly written with a very strong cast, season two opens with conman/thief Caffrey back in prison and FBI agent Burke fighting to get him released again - and get himself reinstated back at the FBI. It's a tall order but everything moves fast in White Collar and this is no exception.

Season Two is chock full of really good episodes, some of which seem more like you're watching a movie other than a modestly budgeted TV series. There was only episode I really didn't like; the retrospective Forging Bonds, which pretty much threw the series timeline to the wind, odd for a show that usually keeps to a very strict line. We see how Neal meet Moz and together they picked a dubious target, the mysterious Trump like financier Vincent Adler (Andrew McCarthy). Neal also met his great love Kate, the thief/fence Alex Hunter and, to his dismay, ended up on the radar of FBI Agent Burke. This episode was weak and a rarity, almost dull in places. But it's the only one, folks. The rest are solid or top drawer.

My favorites: Withdrawal (season opener, see above); By the Book, a Mozzie episode that is by turns humorous and dangerous. Prisoner's Dilemma, a turnaround where Peter is forced to go on the run with a rogue FBI agent while Neal tries to cover at the FBI for him. Company Man, a rare look at Peter's life choices and talents when he and Neal go undercover at a high tech company. It has a near deadly twist at the end.... Burke's Seven, the mid season opener that finds the entire gang looking for Mozzie's shooter and then things get even more interesting with Peter on suspension for evidence tampering. The elaborate con Neal and Peter put together trying to right the wrongs is fascinating to watch. My personal favorite is Payback. Neal's odious arch enemy, Matthew Keller, is back again, this time with a new mission, get himself out of prison and make Neal pay for his triumph in last season's episode Bottlenecked. Keller ups the ante this time though but having an associate kidnap Agent Burke. A tense, fast moving episode that concludes with my favorite scene, Neal on the phone to an imprisoned Peter, who has partially freed himself, trying to 'talk him through a jailbreak'. Excellent episode.

This DVD set lacks all the opulent extras the first season had, to my disappointment but the price is significantly lower. The White Collar cast is one of the few though that I actually do listen to the commentaries and we only have three, none of them on the really strong episodes. (Go figure) You do get a gag reel though (again, funny although not as long as season 1)and a rather long commercial for Burn Notice/White Collar, where the show's creators and writers roast/compliment each other. Its okay but nothing I would have paid for though. Also, something called Slick Willie (I'm assuming Garson) but I have not watched it yet.

All in all, I highly recommend White Collar. I only started watching the show a couple episodes in on season two and I'm hooked. It is one of the few shows on television that the writing is not predictable and the acting is superb. Try it; I really doubt that you'll be disappointed. Read more ›

The second season of White Collar is as good as any of the first season - more style, better banter, and just enough clever plot and personal connection to keep us engaged. It is the perfect summer drink - cool and refreshing. I smiled the entire time I watched it.
