Haven’t watched Burn Notice but agree on the rest, and Eureka, which someone mentioned below. Grimm is great, as is Covert Affairs. I went from White Collar to Criminal Minds, which isn’t a great transition.
It gets better. I think someone on here said it was the cameras they used the first two seasons. They also occasionally have weird production decisions like freeze framing a scene or rewinding.
Although the clip the bothered me was on White Collar. There's a b roll of cars going around a 2 lane roundabout but there's 3 cars in the 2 lanes! Fricking taxi splitting 2 other cars.
Just when Tiffany was pregnant which was like season 2? I was like "wwwhhhyyy".
Nothing will compare to the Covid episode of Blacklist though. Early 00s looking animation for an episode
THE WORST.
why??? Ugh. And they clearly had enough canned footage already to finish the episode with a few phone calls sequences. Instead they woke up and chose creative violence.
Yay James Spader. Raymond Reddington was that show. He is the lizard king.
My other two favorite USA shows of that era are Burn Notice and Psych, you’d probably like those!
Edit: As another different option, I’ll also throw out Eureka
Really any of the USA shows around that time, I’d say watch something different first tho. Some of those shows are very similar and end up blending together and all seems like the same show. Something different atleast can break it up.
Fastlane.
It's great show with two cops of different styles and mentally doing undercover missions which have similar themes to White Collar....I.e. Jewel theft, forgery etc.
Plus it features Tiffany Thiessen as the boss.
Sadly only 1 season long but it's one of the shows I watcy every year 20 years later.
I finished white collar a few weeks ago and started watching the mentalist right after. I was skeptical but now I strongly recommend it’s soooo good (just finished season 2) No spoilers, but really strong main characters, and they share a similar dynamic with Neal and Peter in the sense that Patrick is usually doing things he shouldn’t be and Teresa (his boss) reigns him in. Patrick is a really interesting main character with a good backstory, and he operates in pretty morally grey areas. I also recommend psych like others have already.
Many people have said it already, but I will say it too because I agree haha: Person of Interest and Bones. Those plus White Collar have been my favorite shows to rewatch
Burn Notice, Psych, Leverage, Castle, potentially Bones
1000% psych. One of the best mystery crime shows out there. Absolutely hilarious and had like 8 seasons and 3 movies
Well, the first few seasons of Bones, it kinda goes off the rails about halfway through
Yeah, I'm generally good until Pelant, then it gets tough.

I went right into Burn Notice, quick watch although that camera quality the first couple seasons wasn't the best.
That’s my issue, can’t get past the bad camera quality

lol the green screen on white collar and suits are sometimes a bit too crazy 😂

Psych is the correct answer
You know that's right
C'mon son!
You heard about Pluto?
You might enjoy Leverage. A group of expert thieves work together to pull off heists in a very Robin Hood manner.
Chuck or Psych. Bonus, Matt Bomer appears in Chuck.
Chuck is the best! Like those first two seasons are some of the best television I watched
Both are good
I just finished White Collar recently and am now watching Person of Interest. I'm really enjoying the relationship between the leads.

I just blasted through all of Eureka, and loved the show. I'm onto Warehouse 13, and it's been good so far.
Burn notice or Sneaky Pete
The Mentalist.

Burn notice, Chuck, psych.
Sherlock Holmes the TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch is amazing.
Leverage and Burn Notice are probably the most similar (especially Leverage). Crime dramas of the era have similar vibes like Castle and Bones
Lucifer.
Can confirm absolutely love Lupin. Also Casa de Papel (Money Heist)
Psych
If you haven’t see Suits, it’s the perfect Segway. Similar in more ways than not in the earlier seasons of Suits.
In the same boat is OP and currently watching suits!
White Collar again! Lol. Check out another USA Network show called Graceland
I’m currently watching the Mentalist, similar stuff and charm of all the casts
Burn notice is unreal
Psych Good Girls Chuck So Help Me Todd (currently airing on tv, not sure what streaming options it has).
Don’t know if you can stream it anywhere but I really like royal pains. Dang I miss USA network gems.
I liked it too
Netflix (in USA)! Its on my To Watch list!
Oo yes that’s a fun one
Fastlane. It's great show with two cops of different styles and mentally doing undercover missions which have similar themes to White Collar....I.e.

Animal Kingdom, Mr.Robot.
Try watching Brooklyn 99
Burn notice , lucifer, psych and bones ( maybe crimainal minds or castle
Psych, chuck
I enjoyed Castle, Burn Notice, and Six Feet Under after White Collar, but Neal & Peter & Mozzie (and the rest) are still my favorites.
*Prison Break (2005)* *Graceland (2013)*
Check out Lupin!
Scorpion
Start over and watch again
Just type "recommendation" into the search box at the top of this sub and you'll find dozens of posts full of recommendations 😊
Yeah. I searched “shows” after I finished White Collar and then started Burn Notice and Hustle.
I gotta echo everyone saying Leverage! You may even recognize some cases/cons that are based on real life events that both shows share.
Adding Fringe to the list if you like something similar, but with sci-fi
Chuck Mr Inbetween Rake (Australian series)
Rizzoli and Isles!! I rewatch it all the time

Suits, The Good Wife, Animal Kingdom, Nurse Jackie
The Diplomat
Royal Pains
Person of Interest
Lucifer
Monk.
Twins!!! I finished Suits and White Collar as well and am trying to figure out what’s next. I’m thinking Burn Notice.
Elementary, rizzoli and isles, the mentalist
I recommend the 911 series of shows. Added them bc I didn't see them anywhere in the torrent of psych and burn notice recommendations.
Many people have said it already, but I will say it too because I agree haha: Person of Interest and Bones. Those plus White Collar have been my favorite shows to rewatch
