Have you ever came across a show that was so good you had to binge watch a whole season in one day? Well, "Person of Interest" was that show for me.
"Person of Interest" is an American science fiction crime drama television series that aired on CBS from September 22, 2011, to June 21, 2016, over five seasons, making a total of 103 episodes.
One of the main characters is Michael Emerson , who plays a billionaire computer programmer who builds a computer system for the U.S government named Harold Finch. This computer system , which is also called the “The Machine” , helps to predict terrorist attacks and stop them. Soon after creating the system, he realized that the system also predicts other lethal crimes in the city. Finch, in need of help to solve these crimes, approaches another main character who is John Reese. John Reese is a former CIA agent. Finch decides to act on the non-terrorism predictions, and hires Reese to conduct surveillance and to intervene in these cases. To prevent abuse of its capabilities, Finch had programmed “The Machine” to only provide an identity of a person predicted to be involved in an imminent lethal crime, in the form of a Social Security number, but no details of the crime or whether the person of interest is a perpetrator or victim. Finch and Reese then attempt to understand the case and stop the crime from occurring.
If you love adventurous and suspenseful crime shows, I highly recommend this show!
