White Collar: The Complete First Season Blu-Ray Review

White Collar: The Complete First Season Blu-Ray Review



Synopsis: Playing cat and mouse for years, an unlikely partnership is formed between a con artist and an FBI agent in USA’s hit original series, “White Collar." Matt Bomer plays Neal Caffrey, a charming criminal mastermind, who is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke played by Tim DeKay. When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: he’ll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Federal Agents in catching other elusive criminals. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can’t be found on the right side of the law. “White Collar” also stars Tiffani Thiessen (“Saved By The Bell”) and Willie Garson (Sex and the City) and Natalie Morales.

Review: There is a lot of crime drama on television.  In fact, I'd dare say that there is too much crime drama on television.  Its a flooded market.  In this marketplace, you want to see something different.  We don't need more CSI or Law and Order.  Then, someone gets the brilliant plan of focusing on conmen and we get shows like TNT's Leverage and USA's White Collar.

White Collar is one of those great cat and mouse type crime shows.  It has plenty of drama, but its mixed with humor.  Not ha ha funny humor, but hey we just saw this anti-hero screw the badguy with his elaborate scheme humor.  Its a light-hearted show that has a serious side.  White Collar is without a doubt one of the best new shows on television.  It follows in the veign of movies like Oceans 11-13, where we get some fantastic cat and mouse action.

The blu-ray of the first season is now available.  The show looks fantastic in high-definition.  This is one of those that you can watch more than once, because more than likely you missed something the first go-around anyway, and its definately entertaining enough to become a favorite.  I look forward to seeing season two!
