Snap Judgment: White Collar


I just happened to catch an episode of USA's new drama White Collar, and my snap judgment is: this procedural is as cute as a button! Neal Caffrey (played by the devastatingly handsome Matthew Bomer) is a con artist enlisted by the FBI to assist in apprehending white collar criminals. His team includes partner Peter Burke (Tim Dekay) and fellow agent Lauren Cruz (Natalie Morales). The plot was simple and breezy, but the real fun here was the cast of characters (which also includes Tiffani "Kelly Kapowski" Thiessen and Willie Garson of Sex and the City fame). Bromer, in particular, plays Caffrey with exceptional charm and debonair; he literally oozes cool.

White Collar is bright and slick. The stories aren't complicated, and they don't need to be. Collar is the cotton candy of procedurals and there's no denying the fact we could all use something light and sweet every now and then.
