We live in an age where surveillance cameras surround every corner and digital footprints accumulate throughout a lifetime. So what if all this data were actually useful? What if an artificial intelligence could take the pulse of the city and predict who is in danger—or who might pose a danger—in advance? This series, created by Jonathan Nolan, takes this very question and weaves it into the concrete and shadowy fabric of a modern metropolis. New York is not just a place here; it's almost a character. Faces lost in the crowd, faceless streets, and ever-watchful lenses... Amidst all this, two utterly different men come together around a common goal. One is an intellectual recluse, the other a ghost carrying the weight of his past on his shoulders. The dynamic between these two forms the backbone of the series and draws the audience in from the very first episode. From the surface level, there appears to be a structure that fits crime-action patterns: one case, one threat, one solution in each episode. However, Person of Interest gradually goes far beyond this formula over time. Questions such as whether artificial intelligence has acquired consciousness, the relationship of surveillance to freedom, the position of the state towards the individual and where moral boundaries should be drawn are quietly simmering under the action. The series does not present these themes in a didactic manner; it engages and makes the viewer think. Jim Caviezel adds gravitas to the scene with his cold-blooded determination and physical expression, while Michael Emerson blends vulnerability with intelligence with a rare mastery. As the cast has expanded over the years, each new character adds a real depth to the structure; especially the figures that appear in subsequent seasons carry the universe of the series to a completely different dimension. This production, which has managed to be both a popular action series and a thought-provoking narrative that deals with the anxieties of the technological age for five seasons, caught a more accurate timing than perhaps it anticipated when it started in 2011. When watched today, it evokes a strange sense of familiarity; it seems as if the distance between fiction on the screen and everyday reality is Decaying a little more every passing year.

Secretly tapping into The Machine, Finch and ex-CIA agent John Reese use vigilante tactics and state-of-the-art technology to identify the soon-to-be victims and prevent the crimes from occuring.

In season five, the cold war is over. The world around us might look the same, but something has drastically changed. Samaritan’s lethal “correction” has initiated its control. Finch’s Machine is essentially dead. Shaw is still missing. And the team is once again hiding in plain sight. But with Samaritan’s invisible grip tightening everywhere, will Finch be able to rebuild and resurrect The Machine? And if he does, will it be the same Machine when it comes back online?

If you only ever saw the promo spots on commercial breaks of another show - you would likely conclude this is a terrible show. Far from it. Poorly promoted, amazing show! One of my all-time favorites now.

7/10

A man in a suit helps people in need while beating the living daylights out of a lot of bad guys. His helpers include a computer-wiz millionaire with a limp, an artificial intelligence that likes to use the phone, a crooked cop who turns good, a female assassin who can tie me up any time she likes and there's even a dog. This series deserved to be far bigger than it was.
