White Collar airs Fridays at 10pm Eastern on USA.
Official Description: To solve the hardest crimes, hire the smartest criminal.
Starring: Super hot person, Matthew Bomer as the eponymous white collar criminal; Tim DeKay as the less-hot-but-still-appropriately-handsome, roguish, hard-hitting FBI agent who always gets his man and then goes home to his deliriously good-looking and decade-younger wife; and as the wife, Tiffani Thiessen in a refreshingly evil-eyeliner free role.
Awesomeness of Pilot: 7/10. It’s not exactly breaking ground here, but White Collar was lots of fun, with solid acting and plotting.
Good if: You need something to fill your Leverage hour now that it’s on hiatus. You watch 60 Minutes only on weeks when they feature con-men, you’re obsessed with your self-written Catch Me if You Can sequel, Psych hasn’t brought you to your limit for antagonistic buddy detective snark.
Bad if: You have what I’m told is often referred to as a “life” and go out on Friday nights. Actually, that’s the only downside I could think of, so fire up your Tivo!
Bottom line: It didn’t exactly blow my mind with originality and sparkling wit, but the jokes were good, the twists (though somewhat predictable) were entertaining, and the leads have great chemistry together. And I sure didn’t mind looking at Bryce Larkin Matthew Bomer for an hour.
