Fans of the stylish crime series White Collar on Netflix might be scratching their heads at a peculiar glitch. It appears the show’s episodes have been scrambled on the streaming platform.
The issue came to light thanks to series creator and executive producer Jeff Eastin, who notified the public via Twitter on Tuesday. Eastin’s tweet said, “Netflix is playing the wrong episodes of White Collar under the title/description. Please screenshot or [forward] me specifics. Trying to fix this ASAP.”
A TVLine investigation confirmed the mishap on Tuesday, with the second episode of Season 1, “Threads,” incorrectly showing the content of Episode 5, “The Portrait.” More Season 1 episodes appear to be affected by this mislabeling as well, causing confusion regarding their correct sequence. A Netflix user responded to Eastin’s tweet with a list of the appropriately titled episodes. Netflix has yet to comment on the matter or provide a timeframe for a resolution.
The beloved White Collar series features Matt Bomer as the charming conman Neal Caffrey, who helps the FBI chase down similarly skilled criminals. Tim DeKay plays his FBI handler, Peter Burke, and the late Willie Garson stars as Neal’s friend and fellow con man, Mozzie. After its original six-season run on USA Network from 2009 to 2014, the show recently joined Netflix’s roster, potentially poised for a revival akin to that of Suits, another USA Network hit that found renewed popularity on the streaming service.
