The third time turns out to be the charm for criminal Neal Caffrey. He has been eluding FBI agent Peter Burke for years, a run that finally comes to an end with his capture. But after the resourceful prisoner escapes from a maximum-security facility, then is nabbed once again by Burke, Caffrey suggests a different end-game: In return for freedom, he'll help the Feds catch long-sought criminals. Though skeptical, Burke soon realizes that Caffrey's instincts and insight are a rare commodity. Caffrey's trusted friend and co-conspirator with ties to the criminal underworld, Mozzie, also becomes a useful source for Burke and the FBI.

Jonathan Storm Philadelphia Inquirer 11/08/2019
The likable show has something for everyone: handsome young star, sympathetic "older" costar, pretty former TV hottie, easy-to-follow caper plots, a little humor. Go to Full Review
Warren Clements Globe and Mail 11/08/2019
The chemistry between [Matt] Bomer and [Tim] DeKay is just right, and the contrast between their characters lends itself to banter with an edge. Go to Full Review

4/5
Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay's entertaining double act as the suave con-man and straight-laced Fed is the backbone to the show's success, but credit is also due to its stylish look. An enjoyable mash-up of Remington Steele and CSI. Go to Full Review

Kam H. @kamskam Mar 22 Great show. One of the best See more Tamara H @RT21887460 Jan 21 Very funny, you laugh a lot while always learning something new - especially about Art Crime. Every Episode on its own is very binge watch worthy and a whole season always follows a bigger plot. Totally recommend. Have been watching all six season at least three times. The chemistry is amazing between all the characters. You have to love Mozzie - everyone needs someone like him in his life! Plus: noone ever get‘s annoying. Female and male characters are well written and develop very maturely. Throughout all six seasons the show never looses its wit! Give it a try if you haven‘t already. It has a bit for everyone and has its charme. See more Hans Olav H @hohygen Oct 16 Herlig å se en skurkehelt See more chris g @RT01149110 Sep 7 The first episode of this series had me hooked. I love the interaction between characters. The young handsome con man and the good guy cop. The cops wife is also a remarkably good actress, when her husband calls to say he will be late again and she brings the dog to the table to eat his dinner. This series is well written and fun to watch. See more Molly M @molly468 Aug 7 such a good series. matt bomer is obviously so attractive and charismatic. he fits neal really well. good twists and i love the peter and neal relationship. perfect show. See more Michelle H @RT21727552 May 21 This is such a fun series I was sad when I finished watching it. I was totally drawn into the characters and enjoyed each episode that explored white collar crimes. The actors also worked so well together, it's not hard to see why everyone else enjoyed it like my husband and I did. I look forward to the reboot that the creator has promised.
