White Collar – Episode 2-10 Review

Reviews, Shows

The serialized parts of White Collar are a lot like that of Burn Notice. Shadowy figures are pulling strings while the main characters keep peeling back the layers. The problem with White Collar, however, is that the mythology seems to go in a ever-widening circle between Kate, Fowler, the music box, and a bevy of others, the newest being Vincent Adler. Whereas the early season of Burn Notice seemed to hint at a potential ending, White Collar is in the “one step forward towards infinity” phase which made Burn Notice’s overarching plots negligible in the later season. Even if Mozzie cracked the code inside the music box, how many hoops lie ahead?

“Burke’s Seven” is about Peter after he’s framed for Mozzie’s shooting. There’s the clever sleight of hand, use of technology, and help from insurance investigator Sara Ellis, but hardly anything that sticks out. I’m liking the dynamic between Diana, Jones, and Peter, but I can’t point to any singular scene which really stuck out. I’ll watch White Collar until the end of the season at least. As for reviewing episodes weekly, I’m not sure I’ll continue that.

Score: 8.5/10
