White Collar and Fits share many similarities, together with their latest rise in recognition on Netflix, which is now ensuing of their return to the community tv sphere. Nonetheless, every of their returns will probably be in a unique kind as White Collar is getting a full revival whereas Fits: LA is confirmed to be a derivative.

Whereas updates on the White Collar revival have been scarce, it is rather clear that the storyline will observe the characters from the unique present. In the meantime, the Fits spinoff will observe a brand new set of characters with solely the potential for cameos from the unique forged. This distinction could seem complicated, as each reveals had related procedural constructions and dynamics between the characters. That being mentioned, one key distinction between the bottom reveals simply explains this choice: White Collar was about Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) and his journey, whereas Fits centered on the tales of the employees of Pearson Hardman.

White Collar Was About Neal, Fits Was About An Ensemble Forged

Neal Was The Heart Level Of The Narrative, Harvey & Mike Had been Not

Neal’s development and character arc was the principle story of White Collar, which contrasted with Fits’ ensemble focus. All through White Collar‘s unique run, the story was pushed largely by Neal’s improvement as elements of his previous and current decisions performed out. Lots of White Collar‘s instances mirrored his personal internal turmoil or shifting viewpoints, similar to season 2’s “Countermeasures”, and used these beats to focus on the present’s primary themes of change and redemption.

Adas) could have been the first anchor factors and the arcs that obtained essentially the most consideration, however characters similar to Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) and Rachel Zane (Megan Markle) drove episodes on their very own by way of their actions.

Even with new characters, Fits would nonetheless retain its coronary heart so long as the identical sharp dialogue and story writing are utilized, and the main target is on the entire forged over one character.
