The blue eyed con man steals the show - White Collar

This is one show not everyone has seen. Most of you may not even have heard of it. A brilliant production from USA network, the ones that gave us Covert Affairs, Suits and Mr. Robot. Starring the blue eyed Matt Bomer as the charming Neal Caffrey, Tim Dekay in the role of an upstanding FBI white collar agent Peter Burke, Willie Garson as Mozzie, the Robin to Neal's Batman and Tiffani Thiessen, Peter's loving and awesome wife.
With an ensemble like this, the show grabs your attention with the pilot itself, showing a world class con artist Neal Caffrey's escape from jail and the subsequent arrest by Peter. Not many would agree with me, but Peter and Neal show one of the best bromances of small screen. It is one of the things that make this show worthy to watch.

Neal is a con artist who had been on the run from the FBI for a long time until Peter catches him. Both share a love hate relationship until Neal unsuccessfully escapes from the jail. For a reduced sentence, he helps the FBI catch a competent forger Curtis Hagen. This results in Neal turning a CI for the FBI and Peter his handler.
Each episode shows a successful arrest of a criminal which the duo make. Helping this team are Sharif Atkins and Marsha Thomason as Clinton and Diana respectively, fellow agents at the FBI.
5 seasons and a mini season later, the show ends with a bitter-sweet ending that is a must watch for everyone. Each episode is carefully written to nurture Neal and Peter's relationship and make it a lot more than just professional. Willie Garson plays the perfect sidekick and has proved to be an integral part of the storyline at times.
With a lot of shows having the same base like this (Scorpion, Castle, NCIS), it is still good to see these actors create a family environment when watching the show. You really care for the characters and want to know in detail.
I would not say that it is one of the best shows there is, but yes, it is definitely something everyone should have on their watch list.
