In an unusual move for “White Collar”, the season premiere was only the first part of what can be thought of as the show’s first two-part premiere. Needless to say, I’m very happy with this change in the normal status quo, and I hope it represents a trend. If the final moments of the episode are anything to go by, then this may very well be the case. The previous season had a few more problems than I’d like, particularly in regards to the main story arcs, so I’m curious to see if this season improves on the last.
So far, there’s no clear message as to what the season will be about, but I’m glad to see that the show is taking the right amount of time to deal with the aftermath of Neal’s escape at the end of the previous season. Getting things back to normal after only one episode would have been unbelievable, and I’m glad to see that Peter and Neal are still dealing with that aftermath when the credits begin to roll. Could this season be heading in a slightly more serialized direction?
