Cabo Verde was one of the Portuguese colonies. The official language is portuguesse but the habitants have a distinct language 'Criolo' that is a mix of Portuguese and African origins.

I liked the fact that Cabo Verde was chosen for the start of season 4 but don't spread bad information, language and music are completely wrong.

Because they didn't check facts or didn't care about this big mistake this was for me one of the worst episodes.

Do they care about facts when they write the episodes? What about the artists mentioned in the show, are the facts correct?

In this episode, an FBI agent goes to a foreign nation, with no extradition treaty with the US, and kidnaps 2 people. He is fine, he is awarded. Oh he also supposedly paid people a half million dollars for help. The FBI would not do any of that. The agent would go to prison for the kidnapping. The victims would sue, causing the criminal charges, if the FBI did not do so on their own (which assumes a criminal level of corruption in the agency, as well as the conspiracy to support it) and would immediately lead to the victims getting returned out of the US (or possibly getting their crimes expunged, depending upon the nature of the crimes) and monetary compensation for having been victimized by a member of the federal government who was supposed to be on the job but instead went rogue and violated many laws, including international laws and the sanctity of the foreign nation involved. He could be tried at the Hague for war crimes. Instead, everything is wrapped up neatly in 42 minutes and we the audience are supposed to be so stupid that we were not insulted by the ignorance of this show.

This series never disappoints. Kudos to Jeff Eastin for his originality. Casting is top notch. All the guest actors are excellent and keep getting better. One can truly lose oneself for a little while.

Love the filming in different countries - so much more authentic. And the extras add so much, especially in the crowd scenes.

The producers have really put a lot of time, money and effort into this series and it shows. White Collar caught my attention with their opening episode several seasons ago and has followed through.

The writing consistently holds up as do the story lines. Love Tim DeKay - he holds the whole thing together with, of course, Matt Bomer and Willie Garson.
