Group brainstorming

So I'm working on story trees for a variety of forgery related topics for this game I'm going to run for Jess. I have most broad areas of forgery but not musical forgery. So, public brainstorming powers activated!

Does White Collar get better

We finally got around to watching the show White Collar. The first episode (pilot?) was good. Right notes. FBI guy not an idiot. Forger a little too skilled but that's okay, competency porn is fun. Good supporting cast. Second episode not so good. In fact pretty bad, many of the things I liked from the first episode not present at all. The wife went from being smarter than FBI guy to an event planner (she may still be smarter, but event planner is not a great career for that). The only good thing is the director character (he's great, more people should hire that actor).

Does this show get better? Should I watch more?
