During his prison days he got an exciting offer. For a specific period of time he have to work as an assistant to Peter to solve the cases which belongs to Neal’s area of expertise and he will be free for the life. Though during the specified period he needed to wear a tracking anklet and is permitted to be within the 2 miles radius.

Eventually Neal accepts the offer. Promise of his freedom is not the only reason he was excited about. He was desperate to find his love of life – Kate.

The series then moves ahead by exploring different case in each episode. Throughout the series one, Neal founds to be honest to his promises to Peter, doing his work dutifully, yet running all efforts to find Kate. He respect Peter for his capabilities and attributes and Peter’s wife Elizabeth is also a person to respect for him. He receives help from his true friend nick named – Moz. June and Alex are the other two ladies who play important part in his life.

So it is not a good cop – bad cop theory but rather a good cop – good thief theory on which the TV series is bases.

First Season is explored in 14 episode and all of them are really interesting:

Over the period of time we will keep reviewing each episode of the TV series separately and keep publishing our views and reviews for the same. You should bookmark this page, as we will keep linking those articles here for you.

The title sequence is fantastic and the background music is superb. Almost all episode have some action to watch out for and it is filmed well. While watching it, you often feel that you are viewing a Hollywood film rather than a TV Serial. And yes the fantastic performances Tim DeKay as FBI Special Agent Peter Burke and Matt Bomer as Neal Caffrey are the height of the TV serial.

We also love the way the character of Elizabeth is explored. She is not much into action but she is intelligent and often discuss Peter’s cases with him. She love Peter more than anything and she trusts him completely. Her faith in her husband is really a nice quality which is explored even nicely. Same way Neal is explored as a happy-go-lucky charming guy who is like a casanova on first glance. But he also loves Kate by deepest heart and his sole aim behind all the things he do is to find about Kate. Peter’s character is of an honest, rock solid, thoughtful FBI agent, who can go to any extend for the good of the society. Neal don’t like guns and Peter never hesitate using them for the right reasons. We must say that the TV series explores the emotional and psychological aspects of the characters associated with it nicely.
