I apparently no longer have a Chuck icon.
Dear listies:
What are your thoughts on White Collar? I tend to like detective series and spy shows, as long as they don't end up procedurals (The Inside and Bones are the only real exceptions, and The Inside is almost more of a character piece, and Bones always reminds me more of an old bickering detectives drama and the fake forensics involve icky corpses, but they're usually barely recognizable as human, and it has lots of women doing things and multiple women with authority and actually having their authority respected.) or have an endless string of dead/used women.
White Collar sounds like something I'd have fun with, if not get invested in (that tends to usually be genre shows and period dramas, though there are a decent number of exceptions), if I liked the characters, and I like the actors in it who I'm familiar with, but I understand there's frudging at the end of season one, and then there's the cruddy way they treated Natalie Morales. It also sounds like it may be a case of "men do things while women support them," but I try not to judge things as such until I've actually watched them.
Also, I giggle at the thought of Matt Bomer as a con artist, or whatever he is. From impossibly good looking and perfect spy to impossibly perfect and good looking con? I'll keep thinking it's a deepcover mission! But, Bryce Larkin, Chuck and Sarah will be very disappointed with you! (In Chuck, I am annoyed with Bryce when he's all "Sarah, we are epic love and the fact that you've totally rejected running off with me twice and left me waiting for you at the train station for hours, so to speak, does not change that!" but like him when he is all "I shall protect the precious precious pirincess! And by 'princess,' I mean Chuck. Who has somehow remained both annoyingly and endearingly Pure.")
Though, uhm, with exactly 1 episode of The Undercovers left ever, I may subconsciously get bitter on principle for any new-to-me spy shows that don't get cancelled halfway through their first season.
