Haha ahhh it’s a little janky, but here’s hoping it guides the kids in the right way 😂🤷♀️
I personally really liked the ending of season 6 (maybe bc I like Paris and France a lot). What if, in the new series Peter has to go to France for Interpol or whatever and the whole series takes place in Europe but with the same dynamic. Also Europe has so much art and history to offer, wich I think is good for White collar. And he could also go to London to Sarah or whatever.
How do you like the idea? And more important, what do you think could be a good topic for the new series?
"The last moment was going to be a couple years in the future," Eastin tells TVGuide.com. "Neal has just gotten out. It's the first he had been off his anklet and has been a free man. He walks down and, standing at the apex [of the Flat Iron Building], he's flipping a coin. He flips the coin, it comes up heads and he walks to the left and he walks down and there's Mozzie and they get into a limo and we realize that they're going to go off to be the greatest criminals.
"Suddenly we're back to Neal at the apex of the building flipping the coin and it comes to tails, and he walks to the right and goes into the FBI. We realize that its two years later and Neal's actually taken Peter's place at the FBI and he's become possibly the world's greatest lawman. Then we go to back to Neal at the apex of the building and he flips the coin and then the coin lands on his hand and we cut to black."
For a savvy conman, Neil sure does reveal way too much on the phone. Peter would know all his schemes the second he heard any of the calls….
Edit: Given his current conviction, I’m surprised they didn’t forever tap his phone like they did him w the anklet, especially after he ran multiple times
Just finished the show for the second time, and as much as I’m a massive fan, some things still bother me big time. Such as:
How could the Pink Panthers (the best of the best) not know who Peter is? C’mon, he’s the FBI white collar star, impossible they would be that sloppy not to know their main threat.
Similarly, what about Neal? The Pink Panthers for sure would have found out he’s a CI. And this is applicable across the entire series, with other criminals.
Towards the end of the show, Mozzie is given 2M from Neal to chill. That’s a big sum, but then it still seems like Mozzie is poor / needing money throughout the rest of the seasons. (+ the below)
What about the Nazi treasure? C’mon… they still have the treasure somewhere, Neal’s half. How come they act poor / in need of money? Doesn’t make any sense. Pretty much no reference is made to the treasure in the last seasons, like if that’s not a life changing thing and you can forget about having billions in art somewhere hidden away.
Where the f*** went Kramer? He just decided not worth it?
Why doesn’t Neal just wait it out to be free? He needs to serve 4 years, I’m sure by season 6 we’re beyond the 3 years? Why risk it all with the Panthers or other scores, and why complaining that much, if you’ll be free in one year. And btw especially if you’re pretty much already free… having a very cool life while waiting it out.
The last score… c’mon, a safe with half a billion left like that with no surveillance (or no stronger surveillance at least)? Conveniently located where there’s a tube that can be used to move the money lol. Also; they could just go out of the gate with those long cars? why all the hustle to get the money out with that fancy system then, they could have kept it in the cars? (aside from not beneficial for Neal’s plan)
I love the show, but there’s plenty of plot holes, not sure what you think.

My daughter sent me this! I had no idea !
Great car commercial, but all the investigations and crimes really get in the way. Here they are telling me all the cool functionality of these cars and then they have to go and ruin it by doing a heist or something. Super frustrating, makes it really hard to watch.
I love almost everyone but Peter character hits different. His maturity, intelligence and leadership is so great I really admire the character, which made me respect Tim Dekay more. So sad I'm done watching the series and can't wait to start all over again.
Surely it's a reference to White Collar? The two are often compared after all.
I don't really understand how he pushed really hard to get Neal locked up but just kind of forget about him when he got brought back to NY. Did the show explain why he wouldn't go back to try the same thing on Neal again, now that Neal had return on the same deal.
Anyone else glad Rebecca turned out to be entirely fake?
On a rewatch currently on her “kidnapping” episode Live Feed, but I remember even the first time I watched the show (before I knew where her arc led) I remember not liking Rebecca at all. Something about her just always felt off. If her arc didn’t end with the reveal of how psychopathic she was, I would’ve been really upset to see Neal end up with someone like her.
Maybe she purposely acted like that, or generally her acting was such, but something about her always felt wrong, just inexplicably wrong.
Well I hope you're all happy with yourselves. I posted here a couple weeks or so ago asking if I should continue. You collectively convinced me to do so and now, here I sit, having just watched the series finale, a sobbing, blubbering mess! And I can't thank you enough. What an outstanding show! Well written, an incredible cast, and, as promised by some of you, a glorious ending. I'll be starting it over shortly because of course I will! Thank you all again. [Edited typo.]
If you are looking for another great police procedural series with smart storylines, tech wizardry, NYPD, FBI, CIA – check out Person of Interest: six full seasons, 23 episodes per. IMO, excellent show.

Saw this and immediately had to post it here
This has probably been addressed a while ago but I have been rewatching the series and I want to know y'all's opinions. They never addressed his fate so I want to know what other people think and can't now since the actor, Treat Williams, died tragically. We know that he was caught stealing money by his captain, Captain Terrence Pratt, who later became a Senator. But his story line was never completed. My opinion is that Bennett was always a dirty cop. I think he killed that cop, his supervising officer, intentionally and I think he killed Pratt to keep the secret. Yes, Pratt had a gun, but Pratt also had all the evidence needed to permanently expose Bennett as the dirty cop destroying the police department. Bennett is a coward, he allowed Peter to take the murder charge rather than face what he's done.
He was so stupid for having Keller as a ci and trusting him, he kinda deserved to be killed.
That’s all I want to say.
I want to know how come it never mentions or shows him charging the anklet. I also want to know why they cut the anklet all the time when they have a key doesn't that get expensive. I just laugh through the silly parts of the show and some of the inconsistencies. For example he gets nailed when he goes to the island to get the picture but then he goes back to the island to look for the key and suddenly it's not out of his radius. I just really enjoy the show and the characters.

Hey guys, I would love to know, which park in NYC is the one with the violinist. You can see it in the episode „Neal Rising“ and the one where Peter gets kidnapped. Thank you for your help :)
