White Collar Season 4

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

White Collar season four is an improvement over the subpar season three but is still not as good as the first two seasons. The season starts out strong with a two parter filmed in Puerto Rico, showing Neal and Mozzie living the high life (sort of) and Peter going way out on a limb to find them and warn them of a ruthless FBI agent on their trail. This was followed by a semi humorous but poignant return to New York episode where Peter faces the consequences of his actions, while naturally Neal and Moz are unscathed. After those episodes, there is a very interesting one involving a political fixer who can creep out even Neal, let alone Jones and Diana. Peter is the one who stands his ground although there is ominous foreshadowing ahead for the agent. Lots of humor in this episode, though, a White Collar staple when all is running well. In an hilarious segment, Peter and Sara are posing as an amorous couple, being coached by no less than Neal and Elizabeth. It’s all for the case but it is so funny.

The rest of the episodes are okay, but not great. This season’s theme is the search for Neal’s father and we learn more background about the con man. This might have been more exciting season two rather than four. As it is, the chemistry between Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay (who is, after four seasons, finally getting pictured on the cover) is more than good enough to make you forgive some rather ho hum plots.

All in all, a good but not really memorable White Collar season.

Pure delight from one of my all-time favorite shows. White Collar features one of the most endearing character partnerships of all time, it’s slick, pretty, and sexy, and the stories are fun. The show is deep enough to get you truly emotionally involved with the characters, but isn’t dark or depressing. Season 4 has a lot to love — an FBI agent who will travel across the world on his own dime to rescue his escaped felon/partner/best friend/prisoner from a dangerous agent hunting him. A criminal who walks away from an island paradise escape in handcuffs, beaming because he’s also walking away being hugged by his best friend and coming back to his beloved New York and Peter. These two stand by each other through thick and thin, and it’s one of the most charming things you’ll ever watch.

The main characters in this show are brilliantly synergistic, easy to care about, and the more you watch it, the more endearing they become. I watched Seasons 1, 2, 3 in the evenings (on Netflix via my Kindle Fire HD) after my regular TV shows were finished. By the time I finished two seasons, I was totally addicted to this series, enamored with the wonderful characters and wanted more. After I finished Season 3, the only way I could get more was to purchase season 4. I’m about 1/3 into the season — I treat myself to one or two episodes a night before bed — and love it just as much as the first three. Each night I hate to have to turn it off and wait another day, but on the other hand, I have something to look forward to enjoying every night. Highly recommended because it’s NOT full of graphic violence, filthy innuendoes, nasty language, etc. like too much TV and far too many movies these days are. Instead, it’s well-written adventure drama with a sprinkling of romance that keeps you ‘hooked’. I wish there were more shows of this caliber on TV.
