Forget Suits, This Iconic 2000s Procedural Will Blow Netflix Up

While some people still long for the old format of television series, others have embraced streaming platforms and are enjoying the new wave of stories.

Sure, streaming TV shows have fewer episodes and take a lot longer to make, but with so many original and creative ideas coming out of Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, and all the other platforms every other month, it's hard to stay disappointed for long. Especially since the content never really stops coming.

It's not just the new original shows that benefit from the streaming approach, but some of the older gems as well. Looking at the example of Suits, a great show that got to relive its success after being given the chance to reach all Netflix subscribers, many more shows that deserve the same come to mind.

Fortunately, starting April 1, one of USA Network's best series, White Collar, will get the same coverage.

Where to Stream White Collar?

Netflix seems determined to take the best of USA Network and show it to the world. The runaway success of Suits has paved the way for every other iconic show to follow, and the story of con man Neal Caffrey, who teams up with the FBI to bring other criminals to justice, is no exception.

Considering the recent wave of acclaim Matt Bomer has received after Bradley Cooper 's Maestro and Showtimes' period thriller Fellow Travelers, White Collar, which premiered in 2009, deserves to be discovered by new audiences.

With a 96% approval rating from critics and a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the show dazzles critics with quick and witty dialogue, creative plot twists and dynamic crime cases that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Even those who have seen every other crime procedural in existence will find something fun in While Colar.

With the actor hinting at a possible revival on several occasions, the Netflix release could be the final push the show needs to finally get a green light from a network. After all, if Suits generated enough buzz to get the spinoff Suits: L.A. off the ground, White Collar can easily replicate and even multiply that success.

If you're feeling nostalgic and want to throw a White Collar rewatch party, or if you've never heard of it but feel the need to catch up with the iconic crime drama, don't forget to tune in to Netflix on April 1 to stream all 6 seasons of the show.
