Falling under the category of crime and drama, this show is about a smart and multi-talented con artist, Neal Caffrey, who works for FBI Special Agent Peter Burke, as a criminal informant. This unconventional arrangement arose as part of a deal that Caffrey made with the FBI when he was caught; he would help them catch white collar criminals by providing insider information and in return, he stays out of prison.
It is a not a common concept used in a lot of series, and added to that is the overall light hearted atmosphere, that got me interested in giving it a try. Admittedly, Matt Bomer was also a part of the reason, whose good looks and acting give the character Neal Caffrey the much needed charm that makes an individual an excellent conman. The relationship and interaction between Caffrey and Burke has a certain appeal and wit, that starts off as purely professional but then develops into something personal and that development is very much evident.
For those who are looking for hard-hitting, gory murders and crimes, this isn't the show for them, since White Collar is not exactly like others such as Criminal Minds or CSI. Instead, this series showcases a lot of simple but elegant and classy crimes, that have more than once, made Caffrey and the FBI take on unusual methods in order to get them solved. As the seasons progress, the plot twists get better and the episodes also have interesting scenes with the appearance of recurring characters that are of assistance one or another. The show ended on December 18th 2014, the six-episode sixth season being it's last and to say that I was disappointed would be an understatement.
Happy binge-watching!
