Pilot

I always rate shows as they arrive on TV, I rated Cold Case and Seinfeld as some of my best TV shows, but Person Of Interest has beaten them with casting, acting and the idea of the show.

The casting is superb along with the idea, and I hope the show doesn't move from the format or what you call the 'plot'.

Some TV shows end when the producers/writers try to add or change to improve, but as we have seen from many first up programs that have good ratings, if you try to change, add or be 'cocky', they fail slowly.

It is going to be hard to come up with scripts that suit the show for a lengthy time, but if the writers are smart, this show will be around for a few years hopefully.

We must remember, this is not real but make believe like many shows like this.

The show is perfectly casted and acted, and the actors probably didn't expect the show to do so well.

Its the only show on TV at the moment that I cant miss, and will do anything to watch or record if I cant watch, and normally I don't watch too much TV.

It has violence, but it seems to be logical violence, people like it when violence ends up with revenge, it has an element of corruption along with sentimentality and heroism.

No doubt there will be a movie of this, I hope so.

This show definitely peaked my interest awhile back. I loved Michael Emerson in Lost. I picked up the first season awhile back and now getting into it. This pilot of POI definitely intrigued me. To sum it up with no spoilers: A special ops type military guy teams up with a very rich man to stop bad things from happening such as murders, kidnappings et cetera. The first episode had a little bit of action. The main character Reese (played by Jim Caviezel) can definitely fight his way out of tough spots and can handle a firearm. Finch (played by Michael Emerson) is mysterious. We don't know much about his past yet but I'm anxious to find out more in upcoming episodes. We'll definitely learn more about The Machine as time goes on. I'm in this for the long haul.

This is the first episode of an exceptional series. This introduction shows the basic idea of the machine, that is, the identification of a person who will soon be within a major crime. The genius of the series lies in this uncertainty as to whether the person is the perpetrator or the victim and this offers a multitude of scenarios. However, this is only a tiny part of the story that unfolds over the 5 seasons. The story of the guy in a suit quickly turns into an adventure viewers will not soon forget. This is my third time watching, but I must say that I had hesitated to continue the first time because of a lack of interest in the different stories every episode. I'm so happy I didn't make the mistake of stopping since this series now has a well-deserved place in my top 3. The writing is smart, the subject matter is relevant nowadays, and we recognize the aesthetics and quality associated with Nolan. If Djawadi hadn't proven to us that he was a musical genius by "Game of Thrones", he certainly succeeds with "Person of Interest". For me, season 1 is the worst, but Caviezel and Emerson's acting is more than enough to make us want to continue. In addition, the writing is so good that it sometimes even becomes poetic. The balance between action, humor and drama is perfect for my taste and the combination of the short stories and the main one is very interesting. In short, it's a series that we never tire of watching and which begins with a magnificent pilot.

Ok I'm like 10 episodes into this show and I swear this is just a twist on Batman with some minor shifts in the archetypes.

1. Reese is Batman and has the same skills but isn't the billionaire.

2. Finch is the billionaire but he is a mix between Alfred and Watchtower.

3. Detective Carter is a woman's Detective Gordon.

4. Lionel is kinda like a Robin? Lol. In the loosest sense.

It's hilarious that once this dawned on me I can't get it out of my head, the similarities are so apparent and it works so well. I'm loving the episodic structure to the show, I find that the episodes I love the most are the self contained ones with little carry over. I say this has similarities to Batman but in reality I like to think of Reese as a guardian angel. He comes out of nowhere and inserts himself into your situation, protects and solves. Then disappears. I love it.

A very great start for what it looks a great series, Michael Emerson is of course one of the best actors in the TV, I hop see more of his brilliant acting in this series, Jim Caviezel actually I didn't see so much for him but his acting in this pilot episode is good too; the series idea is kind of unique, and in my opinion I think the machine is probably exist; the dialogues is attractive and very good events establishment for the upcoming episodes.
