White Collar
Neal Caffrey is a smooth conman, expert forger and master thief with a penchant for Rat Pack-era stylings and an appreciation for fine wine and art. Peter Burke, meanwhile, is a down to earth FBI agent with a suburban townhouse who enjoys cold beer and watching basketball. In the USA Network drama White Collar, these two polar extremes team up to solve crimes in New York City, and not only does the partnership prove effective but the series itself has evolved from its simple concept into quality entertainment. While part of the reason is the genuine charm of the two main leads, a fair amount of the credit likewise goes to a strong supporting cast that includes Caffrey’s former cohort Mozzie and Burke’s supportive wife Elizabeth. Combining standalone episodes with enjoyable twists and an overarching narrative involving Neal Caffrey’s past, White Collar is both an old style television series and modern day classic.
