White Collar is an excellent procedural led by a fantastic, charming performance from it's central anti-hero, Neal Caffrey. On this week's Lost and Found, I break down why White Collar is such a well written procedural and has such a fantastic anti hero at it's center.

White Collar is up there as one of my all time favourite shows. I loved how it touched a little on history and a whole lot on the art world. It was smartly written and the characters were great. Even the somewhat ridiculous plots involving Nazi treasure was easily overlooked because the execution was so good. I also love Elizabeth's character & Agent Barrigan. Shows always try to add strong women but they're 90% identical and basically written like men. Barrigan & Elizabeth are not like that. They're complex individuals that feel authentic.

I really loved her at the start of the show, cause she was a fantastic character that was morally kind of between Peter and Neal while also being a delight to watch cause she could be fairly multifaceted and also let people see another side to Peter. Later in the show though, I think they kind of diverted from who her character originally was and utilised her in a way that led to her kind of abusing the trust Neal and Mozzie placed in her and using the fondness Neal had for her to make him lie to Peter. I kind of wish they would have stuck to the way her character acted in season 1 and used her a bit more later on in the show and included her in more of their plans and scheming, since I think that would have really rounded things out.

Yeah, I can kinda see the Father-Son relationship between Neal Caffrey & Peter Burke, but then again I kinda see it more as Big Brother-Little Brother relationship. The more time Neal & Peter spent together working on cases, the more of a deep bond kept developing between them. That is why I’ve always loved this show; not just because it takes place in my beautiful hometown NYC, but because they’re inseparable & they end up learning more of each other while feeling guilty & worried about each other. I wish they can make one more season in where Peter & Neal reunite one more time, then Neal can finally live his life the way he wanted to without ever having to look back being worried about living behind bars again.
@NaterTot
@NaterTot 4 года назад
Surprisingly a sizeable difference in age between the two. I definitely see the brothers thing too. I think the Dad situation felt appropriate in the later seasons when his real Dad stepped in. You saw Peter care on a level that was as deep and nurturing as a Father would.

@mmaescher
@mmaescher Год назад
I initially agreed with your perception of their relationship, especially in season one, but as the show continued, they seemed too reluctant to change the functioning status quo, with each season becoming more formulaic, it kind of ruined the relationship between Peter and Neal for me? In the first season it makes sense for Peter to distrust Neal cause he's a con man and Peter has only ever known him to be a very intelligent, crafty yet non violent con man. It makes sense for him to be wary of Neal. As the season progresses and they both start to trust each other more, with Peter realising that, while Neal has a appreciation for the finer things in life, Neal doesn't really have evil or even just purely monetary intentions, but is instead in it for the thrill and to show off that he can in fact do what most others claim is impossible, and his also deeply driven to do most illegal things he does with the intention of saving his one true love, which Peter understands and relates to due to his own love for Elizabeth. They work really well in this season since they are convincing foils of one another, just similar enough to effectively play on their differences. Peter love Elle and would do anything for her; Neal loves Kate and would do anything for her, Peter works for the thrill his work gives him; Neal stages elaborate heists for the thrill it gives him. While their means of operation might differ, their motivations are quintessentially the same. That's what makes them seem like an older and a younger brother who have the same family and possible the similar values yet have dealt with life in very different ways. Peter is a good mentor in season one cause he shows Neal how he could satisfy/achieve/deal with his motivations in a lawfully abiding way, while Neal keeps Peter young, challenges him and helps him leave his well established comfort zone. The issue I see is that they revert back to this relationship of mistrust at the beginning of every season and have both Neal and Peter essentially learn the same lessons and face the same moral quandaries over and over again, instead of letting them learn from their respective mistakes and really develop. Peter knows that Neal will run if he is pushed or feels too controlled and Neal knows that Peter will be less forgiving the longer he waits to tell him about the shit he gets into. Neal has the same revelation about wanting to be good every season but the show never lets him change in a meaningful way, cause the season finally keeps resetting him to his previous state. Similarly, Peter and Neal may fight but at the end of the day, there are no real long term consequences in regards to their relationship, there is no change. When Peter massively oversteps his boundaries in regard to Neal's father, the only lead Neal has on Ellen's killer, there's a fallout sure, but that barely lasts an episode before they're back to the status quo. Peter never learns from Neal treating him like he's just his handler, never realises that his need for control has gotten of hand, and Neal never learns to set effective boundaries so he may approach Peter of his own volition when he needs help. That ruins the older-younger brother dynamic cause that kind of dynamic requires trust. Something neither of them should have after the first few episodes of season 4 cause Peter never really trusted Neal to begin with and Neal constantly gets in trouble for trusting Peter. case in point: he was perfectly safe in Cape Verde until Peter called him under false pretences and then proceeded to record their conversation to find Neal, despite being told by literally everyone, even his boss and Neal, to back off, which then gives away Neal's location to the people who want to find and maybe hurt him. They never let Neal tilt back into fully being a con-man criminal thief/forger either so he never gets to change as a character in a way that would let him truly shine as one of the good guys but also never let him fully regress into being what he currently shines most at and is most compelling to watch while doing, which is scheme, planning heists and using charisma to get out of trouble. So they end up tragically underutilising both Neal and Peter, and their dynamic, which make Peter pretty unlikable by the end of the show in my opinion.

@@hughesga1745 Burn Notice and White Collar i could have easily swapped places with, tbh. Both shows are very well written, and the actors have great chemistry with one another. I think Michael Westen is grossly underrated as a character. Add in Fiona, Sam, and his hypochondriac mother....there is some comedic gold in there, too. Psych i enjoyed honestly because it was a "comedic", if you will, spin on one of my all-time favorite shows, The Mentalist. Shawn Spencer and Patrick Jane are basically the same character, minus the tragedy. To be honest, i never really got into Suits beyond a few episodes, so me putting it at four is based on my own ignorance of the show, not that it was any "worse" than the ones i listed above it.

@Silvertip_M
@Silvertip_M 2 года назад
Having re-watched this show recently, it's striking how much both characters are actually anti-heroes. While we see that more often than not Peter is right about Neal...he's often basing it on hunches, and the time where he's wrong about Neal are waived off as "Well it's better to be safe than sorry". Burke is absolutely well meaning...as is Neal most of the time...he's shown to steal only from those who are so wealthy that they aren't really going to be severely hurt by his actions. Burke is a tool of the state, he does everything according to the law, regardless of who it hurts in the end. With the exception of Mozzie, everyone who commits a crime in Burke's presence ends up being arrested and charged. Burke doesn't care about right and wrong, he cares about catching criminals. This is what makes the relationship so great, Neal cares about right and wrong, and is often Peter's conscience. What Neal doesn't care about is the law...and Peter is the one keeping Neal from breaking the law regularly...although Neal does break the law all the time...he's just given license to do so by the FBI. The pair itself are anti-heroes, who balance each other out to be heroic. By himself Burke isn't heroic, he's a good FBI agent who blindly follows the law...Neal isn't heroic as he's a criminal looking to enrich himself. Together they are heroic because they balance each other out, and do good as a result of their partnership. One thing which is interesting about the show is that it never shows wealth and rich people as undeserving unless they commit crimes. In several cases, you even hear that Neal can't be rich because he hasn't "earned" it. Even though he is more talented and works harder than most of the rich people on the show. In the real world, most rich people are born to it, and don't really earn their wealth. The world of White Collar is a nearly utopian meritocracy where the people who earn wealth have it, and those who don't are either poor or criminals. It works as the premise of a show like this...but it's in no way reflective of the real world. This is a great show to re-watch critically, its fun escapism with great writing and pacing...but it's also a great character study where as much as they try to make things black and white...it's a lot more subtle if viewed a bit more critically than intended.

White Collar is the best tv show I have ever seen. I also liked Daredevil and Breaking Bad but White Collar holds the top notch position in my rankings.

AK, thanks so much for the compliment and comment. I'm right there with you. I do enjoy some spectacle...who doesn't? I think the constant reliance on it, especially with modern day story telling can make for forgettable shows. I think this is why so many people, like myself, enjoy shows like Psych, White Collar, Daredevil, Burn Notice, etc. Due to the lack of production size and budget size, they're forced to make compelling characters. Compelling characters will keep you around a lot longer than a compelling plot. I really appreciate the kind compliment and hope you tune in to more of my content (in particular this Friday, as a NEW Lost and Found will be released!)

Last two times I have tried to create a "Handsome" rogue in D&D, I've based the character off Neil Caffrey. Or when I think if I should wear a Fedora... realize I am not as handsome or slick/cool as Caffrey, and then say no. I shouldn't :p I think the next time I want to play a "straight-lace" character, I am basing it off Burke. USA had a great run. I keep meaning to check out some of their new stuff (My Father likes Suits a lot). Mr. Robot (Heard good things), Treadstone, maybe try the Purge.... but yeah the shows back during this period on USA were fantastic. I agree that it had its problems, (The other ones, Burn Notice, Psych and Monk had theirs as well, but the green screen and product placement were out on top of issues), but it had a lot going for it, mostly the whole "chemistry" between the two leads, and fantastic secondary and trinity (Is that how you say it?) characters. ANother good look into a favorite show from my past!

I was hooked on White Collar from the 1st episode. The story of the music box and the treasure is what, for me, gets the nod over the others. Love Psych, Monk, Burn Notice, probably in that order, but all 4 get a 10 when rating them. I liked Covert Affairs too, as well as Suits and Royal Pains, not necessarily in that order. But with underlying themes on Pysch with Neil's dad, Ellen, the Rafael kept me hooked. I'll still binge all 4 and for me are better than other network shows, that I still enjoy, like Bones, Castle, Lie to Me, Elementary, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Law and Order (all versions) CSI (all versions). White Collar for me is the best of them all.

After watching your Burn Notice video I was curious to see if you had reviewed White Collar and I am glad you did :) I didn't watch the show right from when it started in 2009. I saw reruns of the first season in 2011 (when season 3 was currently airing) and I really liked the first few episodes to become a regular viewer of the series. Burn Notice and White Collar have some similarities in that both series have main characters who are really skilled at their trade, haunted by their past and finding answers to their main problems, for Michael it's his Burn Notice, for Neal it's Kate, Vincent Adler and then his father. Where the two shows differ from my perspective is that while both shows have a storyline i.e Mike helping people and Neal solving FBI cases, with a parallel story of finding answers to their questions, Burn Notice has two arcs - the first is Michael helping ordinary people and trying to get his old job back till season 4-5, towards the end of season 5 the arc changes to Michael trying to help Fiona and then on the run from the CIA and be free, from the 2nd arc Burn Notice is no more the storyline of a burned spy helping ordinary people. White Collar somehow maintained that parallelism, with Neal solving FBI cases and the parallel storyline changing from Kate, Adler, the treasure, his father, and finally securing his freedom. IMO, Burn Notice had to do that to keep in pace with the changes in Michael's life. My only issue with White Collar was the final season. Back in 2013 when fans were waiting for the 6th season, there were reports that it might be delayed due to the director's focus on other projects. They then came out with a 6th season final season with way fewer episodes than the previous season, resulting in a rushed season with not the same level of excitement and adventure as the previous ones, and an ending that at least I wasn't satisfied it (and found it to be cliched). I wish the finale would have been better but well what's done is done, and at the end of the day White Collar is still a series that is worth binge watching over and over. Since you liked Larry Sizemore in Burn Notice, he also makes an appearance in White Collar in the first episode of season 2. That was one of my favorite White Collar episodes, and it'd be great if Tim Matheson would have reappeared on the show the same way the bought back Mark Sheppard as Curtis Hagen a.k.a The Dutchman.
@calebleland8390
@calebleland8390 4 года назад

@danmcgoogleaccount6954
@danmcgoogleaccount6954 3 года назад
For me it always felt like Mozzie and Peter were having a tug of war over Neil. And, to be honest, the show made Mozzie so likable that I didn't really want Peter to win. Maybe that's just me. Either way I always felt like Mozzie and Peter were the devil and angel on Neil's shoulders, not that it was just Peter and Neil struggling to get along. I think if you removed Mozzie from the show Neil would have become the good guy Peter wanted him to be pretty fast.

It's hard for me to rank the 2005-2015 shows because I loved all of them and watched them based on the mood I was in for the most part, but here goes. For me, it's Burn Notice - which I watched more than anything else, Psych, White Collar, In Plain Sight Royal Pains, and Suits. I enjoyed Monk but could not watch it often because I found that his OCD behaviors could sometimes trigger me, but I have loved Tony Shalhoub since I first saw him on Wings.

I thought that Diana being gay made perfect since for the plot, unlike most shows who do it for no apparent reason other than fear of getting called out for lack of diversity. Because Neal is not only a conman but a very charming likable person, Diana being gay allows the show to explain that Diana is tough and that Neal won’t be able to manipulate her like he has done to other women.
