After finishing the three episodes of SHERLOCK, I finally found something worth watching--White Collar. I haven't watched American TV series for many years, recent hot series, such as CSI, Sex and the city, and LOST, are not my area. White Collar is about an FBI agent and an ex-con man working together to solve crime cases. Sound familiar, right? Indeed, the set up is very similar to the movie'catch me if you can'. However, unlike the movie is about hiding and chasing. The series focuses on what happened when they work together. It was humorous and interesting.
The two leading role: Neal Caffrey and Peter Burke.
Neal was a con man, forger and thief. He is young, smart, and charming(Matt Bomer looks hot in suits). After the three-year game of cat and mouse, he was caught by the FBI agent, Peter Burke, who is specialized in white collar crimes. Three months before being free, Neal escaped from the prison for his girlfriend, Kate. Peter, who knew Neal the best, caught him the second time. Neal proposed to help Peter as a consultant catching other criminals in exchange of some degree of freedom--2-mile radius walking range with an anklet monitoring his location 24/7. The unusual but successful partnership was formed.
Besides the two main characters, other supporting characters are good. Peter's wife, Elizabeth, is a clever and sweet woman. Mozzie, Neal's good friend and also a con man, is also a talented,knowledgeable, and interesting person. Diana, Lauren, and Jones are all capable FBI agents and they are also nice people. Alex, and Sara, two beautiful women who had affairs with Neal. Alex is a thief and a fence. Sara is an insurance investigator. NO stupid people, I like it.
I won't say every episode is good. But on average this series worth watching.
Especially for someone who like crime investigation but dislike cruel scenes and dead bodies.
Season 3 is coming back less than a month. Looking forward to it.
