Former CIA agent Reese (Jim Caviezel) -- now presumed dead -- and billionaire software genius Finch (Michael Emerson) join forces as a vigilante crime-fighting team. Using Finch's program, which employs pattern recognition to determine individuals who will soon be involved in violent crimes, they combine Reese's covert-operations training and Finch's money and cyberskills to stop crimes before they happen. Former Army Intelligence Support Activity operative Sameen Shaw joins the pair in their quest.

A-
A smart show that keeps getting smarter, Person Of Interest evolved from a procedural with a twist into something entirely itself: a well-paced, tightly constructed sci-fi thriller that continually questions its assumptions. Go to Full Review Aaron Riccio Slant Magazine 10/17/2013
3/4
Person of Interest... has doubled down on its intrigue to hastily evolve from a bland procedural with a nifty visual aesthetic... into a solid action-thriller that intersperses twist-filled standalone episodes into its season-long arcs. Go to Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today 09/25/2013
One of the nice things about Person of Interest is that, for all its techno-patina and its master-criminal overlay, the cases themselves are often nicely person-sized. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 04/14/2023
... adds another partner to the team (Sarah Shahi as a coolly efficient former CIA assassin)... and most dramatically kills off a trusted and beloved ally, a loss that sends the reliable Reese into a dramatic tailspin. Go to Full Review Pablo Rosero The Young Folks 05/16/2014
It truly is a masterpiece of modern action TV that is smart and flows at a satisfying pace that will keep you on the edge of your seat for most episodes. Go to Full Review Courtney Vaudreuil TV Equals 10/23/2013

Dave C @RT09838700 May 20 Taut and interesting, as some of the more intricate details are explored, and the storyline develops further with some larger story arcs in the frame. Love the characters, and I'm intrigued to know where this will lead in the next season See more Andrei D @RT74856639 Mar 19 Loses one of its core assets but mostly works See more Clara Y @RT49213015 10/26/2024 Love the interaction and chemistry between Shaw and Root. See more J @Latinalove 01/03/2023 The writers are beginning to lose some of their creativity with this season. This is understandable because at a certain point things become stale and predictable and you need to adapt. While still fun, the adaptation is leaning in the wrong direction. See more 07/01/2022 JJ Abrams has done it again. Just an awesome show. See more 03/03/2021 Starting from the third season Shaw seems like the female version of Rambo; Root is not only a computer genius, but she is also able to shoot with 2 guns; not to mention that, they both fight with men much bigger and taller than them... It's really a pity because the plot is interesting and I enjoyed the first 2 seasons. Early or later, every tv-series jumps the shark, but this happened too soon. See more Read all reviews
