White Collar Season Three DVD Review

Hands down, USA Network has some of the best shows on tv, not even mentioning their great comic con panels,m their cast exudes chemistry on and off screen. One of the freshest shows in recent years has been White Collar, whose third season makes its way to DVD today.

The show stars Matt Bomer as everyone’s favorite sexy con man turned FBI consultant Neal Caffrey. He’s always been one step ahead of the FBI, whether working to catch a criminal, or solve a problem of his own. This season we find Neal coming to terms with his dark past, and perhaps pulling one of his biggest cons yet.

One of the best things about this show are not only the partnerships that Neal shares with Tim DeKay (Peter), Tiffany Amber Theisen (Elizabeth), and Willie Garson (Mozzie), but the interactions between all of them. Bomer truly plays Neal to perfection, he’s one of the strongest leading men on any show at the moment. 

White Collar is not only thrilling, it’s full of smart twists and turns, something that a lot of TV is missing. It’s a smart, fun, and just downright well written show that seems to fly under many people’s radars, but it’s also one of the few shows that I know I will enjoy each time I sit down and watch it. If you haven’t seen White Collar it is well worth it to pick up all three season and have a marathon before the new season starts July 10, 2012.

On the DVD there’s the blooper reel, some deleted scenes from throughout the season, an audio commentary on the season finale, a feature called Jeff Eastin: @ddicted, and ‘Interrogation Room’, which is a trivia challenge featuring the cast and crew. They’re all fairly standard features, but the blooper reel is always a highlight for me. More than anyone else, Bomer and DeKay play off each other, and they are hilarious. The commentary during the season finale will make you wish there had been more, but there is just the one.

White Collar Season 3 is available today on DVD. Season 4 premieres on USANetwork Tuesday, July 10th at 9/8pm Central.
