Person Of Interest


You are being watched. The government has a secret system - a Machine - that spies on you every hour of every day. I know because.. I built it.”

That’s an unusual way to start a primteime TV series.

The series handled a rise in Weird Level from an anonymised version of The Equalizer to cellphone cyberpunk with the question of how we react to the first emergence artificial intelligence.

“It was almost like we snuck in, in sheep’s clothing.” Greg Plageman

Not a bait and switch as it was strongly hinted in the pilot and confirmed by the end of the first season, though I know it lost some people on the way. But not me. And it sticks the landing.

And it has Finch and Reese’s awkward bond, Carter’s stand, Fusco’s long-suffering turn to heroism, Shaw and Root, casual kneecapping, some great montages set to music, a modernising crime story and a huge run on police corruption, and Bear.
