Person of Interest (2011–2016)
7/10
Batman without the spandex and carnival freaks
18 January 2014
I hesitated to watch this show for some time, but recently bit the bullet and decided to check it out. Right from the pilot I was sold. The action, the mystery, it's all wrapped up in a dark package begging to be opened. I've only started watching two days ago yet I've already seen the first 12 episodes. With every new episode I watch a new mystery is unveiled, leaving me with more anticipation.

John Reese's character shares a similar darkness akin to Batman, but Reese is not afraid to use a gun. Harold Finch likewise shares a similarity to Alfred. The man behind the computer giving intelligence to his partner. You might be able to argue that Detective Carter is similar to Captain Gordon, and I could go on and on about how much these characters remind me of Batman, but in truth these characters are very well done, each with their own deep back story to be explored. Person Of Interest shares this same trait with Lost, which I believe is one of the primary reasons for its success.

I'm excited to see where the show will go from here, because there is plenty of room for a lot of intense plot.
