Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Crime Shows

1.) White Collar (available on Netflix)
I have recently become obsessed with White Collar because of the aspect of it. If you don't know what it is, it's a show about a guy that was a white collar criminal that got captured by the FBI, and then he strikes a deal with the head of the FBI's White Collar crime unit, Special Agent Peter Burke, that as long as he wears a tracking anklet, and helps with cases, he can spend the time that he was supposed to spend in prison (four years) helping catch guys that are like he was before jail. The main character, Neal Caffery, is played by Matt Bomer. I also know him as Cooper Anderson, Blain's older brother on Glee. And now, because of White Collar, I have become obsessed with the whole aspect of White Collar crimes and Heist' s and things like that. I even started reading Heist Society by Ally Carter because of it. It really is a show that should be watched. There are 3 seasons on Netflix.

2.) Burn Notice (available on Netflix) (one season left)
Burn Notice is about a spy named Michael Weston that was "burned." Throughout the series, he tries to find out who burned him while helping other people with their problems with people like drug lords and people that hurt other people they knew. I haven't seen the new season that's on Netflix, but I have seen the other episodes. The main character, Michael Weston, is played by Jeffrey Donovan. There are 6 seasons on Netflix.

3.) Bones (available on Netflix)
Bones is about a women named Temperance "Bones" Brennan that is a forensic anthropologist that is partners with FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth solve murder cases. It's full of hilarious wit and people that make up the cast that are in every episode, like the cast isn't just mainly focused on Booth and Brennan. Booth is Played by David Boreanaz and Brennan is played by Emily Deschanel There are 8 seasons on Netflix.

4.) Criminal Minds
Criminal Minds is a very dark crime show. It is based on the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit crime team that solves murder and kidnapping cases all across the country. They focus a lot on profiling the unknown subject (unsub) rather than focusing on the crime itself. After they profile the unsub, that is what usually leads them to make the arrest on the criminal, and usually they catch the criminal in the middle of doing the crime. In the team, there is Chief Agent Aaron Hotchner (played by Thomas Gibson), Supervisory Special Agent Derek Morgan(played by Shemar Moore). Doctor Spencer Reid (played by Matthew Gray Gubler), Senior Supervisory Special Agent David Rossi (played by Joe Mantegna), Supervisory Special Agent Jennifer "JJ" Jareau (played by A. J. Cook), Supervisory Special Agent Emily Prentiss (played by Paget Brewster), and Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia (played by Kirsten Vangsness).

5.) Life (available on Netflix) (canceled)
Life is about a detective, named Charlie Crews, that was sent to prison for 12 years because he was framed for the murder of a family. Throughout the series, he tries to find out who framed him, and who was the actual killer. Charlie Crews is played by Damien Lewis. Both seasons are on Netflix.

6.) Numb3rs (available on Netflix) (canceled)
Numb3rs is a show about two brothers, one an FBI Special Agent and the other a genus mathematician that uses his math skills to help his brother solve crimes. Special Agent Don Eppes is played by Rob Morrow, and his brother Charlie Eppes (the genus) is played by David Krumholtz. All six seasons are on Netflix.

7.) Psych (available on Netflix)
Psych is a goofy crime drama that focuses on so-called psychic Shawn Spencer (played by James Roday) and his friend Burton "Gus" Guster (played by DulĂ© Hill). Shawn and Gus help SBPD solve crimes using Shawn's "psychic" abilities. There are 6 seasons on Netflix.

8.) Murder, She Wrote (available o Netflix) (canceled)
Murder, She Wrote is about an author that helps solve crimes then writes those crimes into her books. Author Jessica Fletcher is played by Angela Lansbury. All 12 seasons are on Netflix.

9.) NCIS
NCIS is a crime drama revolving around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which conducts criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The show stars Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pablo, Pauley Perrette, Sean Murray, Brian Dietzen, Rocky Carroll, and David McCallum, currently. It is not on Netflix.

10.) White Collar (available on Netflix)
I know that I already put it on this list but it is so good!!!!!!! I seriously love it, and it makes you wonder if he is going to take the art or whatever is at stake in that episode. Each episode makes you have a mini heart attack every time Neal does something that goes against the rules of his agreement with the FBI. It makes you wonder, "Neal, how are you gonna get out?" every time. I love it so much!!! If you haven't seen it, you need to see it, right now!! Not to mention that Neal Caffery is really, REALLY good looking, it should be illegal to be that good looking. Again, the first three seasons are available on Netflix at the moment.
