Comments: I'd heard a number of good things about White Collar before, but just never got around to watching the show. My curiosity was piqued, however, after watching Matt Bomer on Chuck, who did a great job as Bryce Larkin. He has a natural charisma and swagger, thus making White Collar a show I wanted to watch. And I really enjoyed it for the most part. My biggest complaint is that things happen too easily on the show. Neil Caffrey (Bomer) is released from prison and given a job in the FBI so easily. He's given a tremendous amount of leeway for a notorious con man, and if he stretches his limits he's generally given a pass as if he'd worked for the Bureau for 20 years. But in terms of "light" entertainment, you really can't go wrong. Watching Caffrey's ability to maneuver himself in an out of every situation imaginable is fun as hell. Watching the first season coincided with a White Collar marathon last Friday (which I DVR'd), so I'll be able to catch up on Season 2 (sadly, this week's episode is the last until January... blah). Anyway, White Collar is a fun show as long as you turn your brain off. It's a welcome distraction and generally a good way to spend an hour.
