    Terrific acting, crackling dialogue and geek-hip crime are not the only things that make this the most electric drama to premiere this fall.

    Beyond the formulaic outline, White Collar, is actually one of the best new shows of the season.

    White Collar is not original. But White Collar is enjoyable.

    One of the 5 best shows on TV. Sleek, smart, sexy, sophisticated. Love the plots, twists, writing. Love the characters, acting, and locations. Wouldn't change a thing about this show.… Expand

It's tiring to watch it.… Expand
