Caffrey Conversation and the Heroine's Journey

Recently I attended author Gail Carriger's class about the Heroine's Journey. In the class she gave an example of a show that began as a Heroine's Journey, and how viewers felt betrayed when it changed into a Hero's Journey. That was a lightbulb moment for me regarding my feelings about White Collar. My final dissatisfaction with the show ties into the fact that the first few seasons had given me an expectation that wasn't delivered in the final seasons. That dissatisfaction drove the direction I took with the Caffrey Conversation series.

Found Families

The found family relationship in White Collar is generally acknowledged to be one of the most appealing aspects of the TV series. In the world of Caffrey Conversation, Penna and I super-sized it.
